Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Diego CA
113 PM PDT Sat Oct 15 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Rain and thunderstorms will continue over Southern California through
tonight for most of the region, with the peak of the
precipitation falling late this afternoon through this evening.
Some thunderstorms could produce high rainfall rates in the
mountains and deserts, potentially leading to flash flooding
there. Rain will taper off later tonight, though a few storms may
occur over the mountains Sunday afternoon. Dry and warmer
conditions are in store for much of next week.

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

It's certainly become quite active out there early this
afternoon, with multiple clusters of thunderstorms covering the SE
CA deserts at 1 PM. SPC mesoanalysis shows CAPE values have
increased to over 1000 J/Kg over the deserts this afternoon. Dew
points have started to increase as well to the low to mid 60s in
the lower deserts. These rounds of thunderstorms will continue to
progress north and west into our mountains and deserts over the
next few hours. Some storms could push west of the mountains into
the coastal and valley locations later this afternoon through this
evening.

Hourly rainfall rates in the mountains and deserts will range from
one-half inch per hour up to one inch per hour in the strongest
cells. Locally higher amounts could occur in areas where
thunderstorms repeatedly train over the same area, most likely
along the eastern slopes of the mountains. Flash flooding is
possible in the mountains and deserts, and mud and debris flows
are possible in and near recent burn scars. A Flood Watch remains
in effect through tonight.

Forecast storm total precipitation will range from 0.50" to 1" in
the mountains and deserts, and 0.10" to 0.50" at the coast and in
the valleys.

The precipitation will gradually taper off late tonight as the
upper level low continues to accelerate eastward into Arizona.
Residual moisture and instability from daytime heating could
result in a few afternoon showers over the mountains Sunday
afternoon, but overall, Sunday is looking to be a dry day for most
areas.

As the low pressure system ejects further eastward early next
week, a weak surface high will build into the Four-Corners Region
by the middle of next week. This will set Southern California up
in an offshore flow pattern Tuesday and Wednesday, with east
winds in the mountains and deserts. This will further increase
temperatures in the valleys and coast mid next week. Of course,
this far out there is low confidence in the strength and timing of
the winds. However, what we are confident in is that it will be
drier and warmer for at least the first half of next week. Another
low pressure system could drop south near Southern California
towards the end of next week, potentially bringing more showers
and thunderstorms to the region. Due to the uncertainty
surrounding the timing of this system, the forecast remains dry
for the end of next week.
