Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Diego CA
130 PM PST Sun Mar 7 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Cooler and unsettled weather will occur this week, with more clouds,
periods of rain, mountain snow, and gusty winds. Some light rain is
possible tonight into Monday morning over the coastal basin, but the
steadier and more widespread precipitation will begin Tuesday
evening as a large storm system slowly makes its way into Southern
California. Most of the rain and snow will occur Wednesday and
Thursday, with showers tapering Friday. Temperatures will be well
below normal by midweek, but as the storm departs, drier and
somewhat warmer weather will return for the weekend.

&&

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

Satellite imagery at midday showed high clouds streaming
northeastward off the Pacific and across SoCal. There are lots of
breaks, so some sun is making it through. Most areas are reporting
midday temperatures a few degrees lower than yesterday. The sfc
pressure gradients are weak at Noon PST, but there were still some
SW wind reports of 20G30 MPH in the mountains.

Widespread low clouds will return from the coast to the coastal
mountain slopes where fog will develop overnight as a weak upper-
level disturbance traverses SoCal. This deepening of the marine
layer may drip a few light showers or drizzle overnight into Monday
morning, which could make for some wet roads for the morning
commute, but any measurable amounts will be very light. Breezy
westerly winds will continue over the mountains and deserts.

For Monday and Tuesday, provided we clear the lower clouds, high
clouds will not be an issue. So expect more sun, but not a whole lot
warmer as steady onshore flow and a cooling airmass prevail. By
Tuesday afternoon, maximum temperatures are expected to be running
from 5F below average at the coast, to 10F or more below average
inland. Stronger winds over the mts/deserts may require an Advisory
for Tue afternoon/evening.

A slow-moving low pressure area dropping south just off the West
Coast will increase the westerly winds Tue/Wed over the mountains and
deserts and build the marine layer up onto the coastal mountain
slopes with areas of fog at times. Precipitation is forecast to
break out late Tuesday over the mts and become more widespread
through the night. QPF looks to be heaviest and most widespread on
Wednesday with good upper-level jet support and modest PW values.
Instability and lift look to be maximized on Wednesday when
thunderstorms will be possible. As the dynamic lift fades, strong
thermodynamic instability continues through Thursday due to very
cold air aloft which may continue to support isolated thunderstorm
development over the coastal waters and onto the immediate coast.
The precipitation should become more showery on Thursday, and may
end by Friday, but there is some lingering very cold air (500 MB temp
-30C) and support for isolated showers into Friday. Dry, with a
warming trend appears to be in the works for next weekend, but
temperatures are still likely to be below average.

Winter Weather...This event will be a cold one, with most of the
precipitation falling as snow above 4000 FT. Daytime temperatures
are forecast to be running 15-20F below normal. Even though
Precipitable water values are not excessive, the depth of moisture
and cold air aloft suggest the rain to snow ratio will be larger
than normal, enhancing accumulations. By far, the wettest model is
the ECMWF. It has also been slower moving the storm as more energy
enters the circulation from the north. Many ensemble members of this
model are considerably wetter at sites across the CWA than others in
the CMC/GEFS. Based on the pattern on all of the global models, QPF
from a blend of the CMC/NAM12/ECMWF seems more reasonable. The
latest WRF runs are looking wetter too, so a Winter Storm Watch has
been issued beginning Tue evening and continuing through Thursday
evening. For further details please see Watch details at LAXWSWSGX.
A Winter Weather Advisory may also be needed for the High Deserts.

&&

.AVIATION...
072100Z...Scattered low clouds with bases around 2500 feet MSL
continue this afternoon. Low cloud ceilings between 2000-3000 feet
MSL will begin to fill the basin and into the valleys after 00Z
Monday.

&&

.MARINE...
Northwest winds will weaken this morning. More rounds of gusty
northwest winds expected in the afternoons Monday through Thursday.
A small craft advisory has been issued for the outer waters
beginning late Monday afternoon, and for the inner waters beginning
Tuesday morning.

&&

.BEACHES...
An increased west swell will result in elevated surf and a high rip
current risk at the beaches through this morning. Surf will mainly
range from 3-6 feet in southern San Diego County. Surf will decrease
late this afternoon.

&&

HYDROLOGY...

The incoming storm for the midweek period will have a modest
moisture tap, but good dynamics and cold air aloft could support
moderate to locally brief, heavy rainfall rates in isolated showers
and thunderstorms. Persistent heavy rainfall is unlikely. Current
estimates are for the period from late Tuesday through Thursday
night...Coast and Valleys...0.75-1.25 inches, Mountains...1-2 inches
(most of which will fall as snow), Deserts...0.10-0.30 inches.
Runoff in periods of moderate to briefly heavy rainfall could cause
local flooding of poorly drained and urban areas. Mainstem River
flooding is not expected, but once again, the San Diego River at
Fashion Valley is forecast to reach about 6 FT. There is a small
chance for Monitor Stage to be reached late Wednesday or Thursday.

&&

.SKYWARN...
Skywarn activation is not requested. However weather spotters are
encouraged to report significant weather conditions.

&&

.SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...Winter Storm Watch from Tuesday evening through Thursday evening
     for Riverside County Mountains-San Bernardino County
