Area forecast discussion, Feb 13, 4:30 AM PST, 4 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Diego CA
430 AM PST Wed Feb 13 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A trough of low pressure to the northwest will direct a moderate
to strong atmospheric river into southwest California for tonight
and Thursday. Lighter rainfall will develop today and become more
widespread this evening. The rainfall is expected to be heavy at
times for late tonight through Thursday afternoon with the
greatest rainfall on the coastal mountain slopes. There will also
be strong gusty southwest to west winds in the mountains for this
afternoon into Thursday evening. Snow levels will lower for
Thursday night and Friday with periods of mostly lighter showers
continuing into Monday.

&&

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

.SHORT TERM (Today through Friday)...

Overview...A trough of low pressure to the northwest will direct a
moderate to strong atmospheric river into southwest California
for tonight and Thursday. A trough of low pressure will remain
near the West Coast on Friday with lower snow levels and periods
of showers.

Rainfall and flooding...Please see the hydrology section below.

Winds...South to southwest winds in the mountains will strengthen
today with periods of strong gusty winds into Thursday evening
with the winds becoming westerly on Thursday afternoon and
evening. The strongest winds are expected near mountain ridgetops,
and along desert slopes with gusts to around 65 mph at times.

Temperatures...Below average high temperatures will cool through
Friday. With cloud cover and the influx of tropical moisture,
tonight will be much milder with low temperatures 5 to 10 degrees
above average. Near average low temperatures will return Friday
night.

&&

.LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)...
A large low pressure system centered near the West Coast will
maintain stronger weakly cyclonic flow across southwest California
with periods of showers into Monday. Dry and a little warmer on
Tuesday as the low pressure system moves inland.

&&

.AVIATION...
131000Z...High clouds will continue thicken and lower today to about
6000 feet MSL during the afternoon. Gradually increasing -SHRA this
afternoon with bases lowering to 3000-5000 feet MSL during the
evening. Local cig 2500 feet msl and vis 3-5sm in SHRA. Areas of
surface winds from the south 20-30 knots with gusts to 50 knots will
occur over the San Bernardino/San Gabriel Mountains and adjacent
high deserts to the north this afternoon through tonight. Increasing
coverage of rain overnight leading to mountain obscuration.

&&

.MARINE...
A storm will bring southerly winds 15-20 kt with gusts around 25 kt
this afternoon, increasing to 20-25 kt with gusts around 30 kt
tonight through early Thursday afternoon, generating choppy
conditions. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect from 10 AM today
through 4 PM Thursday. Showers will turn into solid rain early
Thursday morning. Northwest winds could produce hazardous conditions
intermittently over the weekend.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A trough of low pressure to the northwest will direct a moderate
to strong atmospheric river into southwest California for tonight
and Thursday. The atmosphere will gradually saturate today with
light rainfall developing in the mountains this morning, gradually
extending to lower elevations during the afternoon and becoming
more widespread this evening. The rain is expected to become heavy
at times for late tonight into Thursday afternoon with rainfall
decreasing from the northwest during the late afternoon and
evening. Strong southwest winds in the mountains will becoming
westerly on Thursday with significant orographic enhancement of
rainfall in the mountains. Snow levels will rise to above 9000
feet today with melting snow adding to the runoff for higher
elevations in the mountains.

Forecast rainfall totals into Thursday night...

San Bernardino and Riverside County Mountains......4 to 8 inches
with isolated to around 10 inches.

Santa Ana Mountains...2.5 to 4.5 inches with isolated to 6 inches.

San Diego County Mountains...3 to 6 inches with isolated to 8
inches.

Coast and valleys....Around 1.5 inches near the coast to 2 to 2.5
inches near the coastal slopes of the mountains.

High desert...0.75 to 2.00 inch.
Low desert....0.50 to 0.75 inch.

Flooding potential...The rainfall and runoff will likely cause
urban small stream flooding and other poor drainage areas. There
will be higher flows in most rivers and streams in Southern
California. The Santa Margarita, San Diego, and even the Mojave
River will have significant flows and may approach flood stage.
Rainfall and runoff into the Whitewater River Wash will likely
result in significant flows through the Coachella Canal Thursday
into Friday. The flows will reach Palm Springs and then travel
southward through the Coachella Canal to Indio and beyond. The
fast flow will inundate low-water crossings and create dangerous
swift-water areas through the Coachella Valley.

Outlook...Persistent moist onshore flow will continue for later
Thursday night into Monday with occasional periods of mostly
light showers.

.SKYWARN...
Skywarn activation has been requested from 4 AM to 10 PM Thursday.
