Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Diego CA
200 PM PST Thu Jan 31 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A fast-moving low pressure system from the northwest will continue
to bring showers through early evening with scattered thunderstorms.
Friday will be dry but cool. A larger stronger storm will bring
widespread rain, with heavy rain on south-facing mountain slopes
late Friday night and Saturday. Strong winds are likely Saturday in
some areas Saturday. After the frontal passage late Saturday, some
snow will fall in the mountains. Low pressure continuing to the
north will bring occasional showers Sunday through Tuesday with fair
weather returning by Wednesday.

&&

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

Showers and scattered thunderstorms continue moving through the
region this afternoon, with tapering from northwest to southeast
late this afternoon and this evening. Latest HRRR has most of the
precip ending by 8 PM except over eastern San Diego County and the
Riverside County mountains. Snow levels are quite high, generally
above 7000 feet, with only minor amounts of snow falling near
highest peaks.

Friday should have quite a bit of cloud cover but should be
precipitation-free being between systems. The Saturday system will
have an atmospheric river and that will combine with strong
orographics in the low-level saturated south-southwest flow to bring
heavy amounts of precip on the south/southwest facing mountain
slopes. A few light showers could start as early as late Friday
night, but the main orographic precip will occur Saturday, then the
frontal passage combined with favorable jet stream dynamics likely
will bring a period of heavy precip at lower elevations as well late
Saturday afternoon/early Saturday evening. Saturday rainfall will
likely be 1 inch or more in most areas except the deserts, but some
south slopes in SBD could get 5-8 inches. A flash flood watch will
be needed for the burn scars and may be needed for some non-burn
scar locations as well, including in Orange County and SW San
Bernardino County. Snow levels should be quite high Saturday,
probably at/above 8000 feet, then lower to 5000-6000 feet after
frontal passage, and moisture could remain deep enough (to over
10000 feet MSL) in the WSW flow for substantial mountain snows,
especially in San Bernardino County. There could be 6 or more inches
of snow Saturday night/Sunday in the SBD County mountains. Also,
strong south winds will be a problem in San Bernardino County as the
strong winds aloft will be brought to the surface due to a mountain
wave, mainly over the northern SBD county slopes and into the
adjacent deserts. Gust potential is around 80 MPH in places near
Lucerne Valley during the day Saturday, though winds will weaken
somewhat after the front passes through late in the day and shifts
the winds more westerly. Some coastal sites may have wind gusts over
40 MPH with the front late Saturday.

Onshore flow and continuous moisture to 800-700 MB should continue
showers Sunday wiht another strong upper low progged to move through
mainly northern/central California Monday into Tuesday. As we will
be on the south side of this storm with a weaker surface low, the
precip amounts will be considerably lower than Saturday. Fair
weather likely will return Wednesday, with a ridge developing off
the coast, though not a strong one.

.AVIATION...
312100Z...Coast to Mountains: Areas of low clouds west of the mtns,
with bases 1500-2500 feet msl and tops to 9000 feet. Areas of inland
vis 2-5 miles. Showers and isolated TSTMS until 05Z. Cigs/vis
reduced in rain and fog, with higher terrain obscured. After 04Z
cigs will lift to around 3000 feet with SCT low clouds lingering
overnight. Confidence in cig impacts at TAF sites is low after 04Z.

Deserts: Variable clouds AOA 12000 feet. Lower clouds with bases
3000-5000 feet and showers between 22-05Z. TSTMS will be possible as
well this afternoon. Clearing after 05Z.

&&

.MARINE...
South winds today with isolated gusts over 20 knots. Showers and
isolated thunderstorms this afternoon. A frontal passage will
produce a sharp wind shift from southerly to westerly during the
afternoon. A more substantial storm system Friday night and Saturday
will bring stronger winds approaching gale force and larger swell.
Winds will decrease Sunday, but swell will peak then, possibly
creating hazardous seas.
