Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Diego CA
241 PM PST Fri Feb 17 2017

...Major Pacific storm system to greatly impact the region with
damaging wind gusts and flooding this afternoon and evening...

.SYNOPSIS...
A powerful Pacific storm will bring bring damaging winds, flooding
and heavy mountain snow to the region this afternoon and evening.
Winds will decrease as heavy rain turns to showers tonight. Showers
will continue tonight through Sunday morning. Dry weather returns
Sunday, but a small chance of light rain is forecast Monday
through Wednesday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...

We are confident that major impacts will occur with this storm
system...possibly the strongest storm we've seen this winter.

A band of moderate to heavy rain is currently moving into Orange
and San Bernardino Counties this afternoon. Already strong winds
will increase even more as the rain band gradually tracks through
the region this afternoon and evening. Gusts along the coast will
exceed 50 mph and gusts in parts of the mountains and deserts will
exceed 70 mph. This will be a widespread strong wind event! Plan
for widespread urban flooding, small stream flooding in the
backcountry, and particularly for burn areas. Also expect the wind
to knock down trees and power lines, and the resulting damage and
power outages.

Heaviest rainfall amounts will be over Orange and San Bernardino
Counties. With very high atmospheric moisture in place rainfall
rates of one-half to up to 1 inch per hour will be possible during
the height of the rain event with highest rates along favorable
SSW facing slopes. This amount of short-duration rainfall will
likely lead to significant flooding issues in urbanized areas and
flash flooding in the mountains. Thunderstorms are remotely
possible and may bring briefly intense bursts of rain.

...Rainfall forecast through tonight...

ORANGE COUNTY..............2.5 to 4.5 inches (highest totals in
the Santa Ana Mountains).
SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS...3 TO 8 inches (highest along SSW slopes).
RIVERSIDE COUNTY...........1.5 TO 3 inches.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY...........1.5 TO 2.5 inches.
UPPER AND LOWER DESERTS....0.25 to 1.5 inches.

Snow levels will be around 6500 feet during the heaviest
precipitation, and then lower to about 5000 feet Saturday
morning. Snow showers will continue Saturday and Saturday night.
Total Snowfall forecast is for 4 to 12 inches between 6000 to
7000 feet, 1 to 2 feet between 7000 to 8000 feet, with isolated
amounts of 2 to 3 feet possible above 8000 feet. An inch or two
could fall as low as 5000 feet...bringing winter impacts to the
mountain passes.

After about 9 pm the winds will quickly diminish and the heavy
rain will turn to showers. Showers and isolated thunderstorms
will continue through Saturday and Saturday night.

A ridge of high pressure will bring dry weather Sunday, but
our region will remain on the southern fringes of a stream of
moisture for several days. That will mean small chances of light
showers Monday through Wednesday. A trough of low pressure on
Wednesday will bring more winds. Dry weather appears to follow
Thursday heading into next weekend.
