Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
1006 AM PST Sun Feb 4 2024
.SYNOPSIS...04/1002 AM.
A powerful atmospheric river will arrive today. This storm will
bring very heavy rain and potentially life-threatening flash
flooding, and high elevation mountain snow to much of the region
through Tuesday morning. This storm will be followed by showers
and lowering snow levels through the week.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TDY-TUE)...04/1002 AM.
***UPDATE***
A very strong storm system is arriving into the area right now and
is starting to bring one of the most dramatic weather days in
recent memory. The biggest change is a shift of the heaviest rain
and longest rain duration eastward, now centered over Los Angeles
County. Heavy rain and a high risk of dangerous flooding still
exists for Ventura and southern Santa Barbara Counties even with
this shift.
This is a DANGEROUS SYSTEM with major risks to life and property.
Many roads and freeways will flood or shutdown. Canyon roads will
experience significant rockslides. Low-lying neighborhoods will
see waters over curbs with a foot or two of water into vulnerable
homes and businesses. Many parked cars will be damaged. Mudslides
will occur over vulnerable areas. Recent burn scars will
experience deep debris flows. Several creeks and the Ventura River
will overflow their banks. Strong flows in all creeks and rivers
will pose a risk for drowning for anyone in the channels,
including the unhoused and anyone camping. Many trees will fall,
including in urban areas. Power outages could occur anywhere.
Mountain communities above 6,000 feet may be shut off for a day or
two with heavy snow covering access roads. Very large and steep
waves will make the seas extremely dangerous over the open waters
and along the coastline. Residents should heed any evacuation
orders. Stay off the roads, especially the freeways, this
afternoon through at least Monday morning.
The surface pressure gradient between KLAX and KSFO is 18.3.
This afternoon it is projected to be 20.8 mb which is only 1.2 mb
away form the all time record set in January 2008. This is one
indicator of just how very strong and dangerous this storm is.
This major storm will bring a multitude of dangerous weather
conditions to the area.
RAIN...
The deep moisture plume embedded in the warm front will interact
with very dynamic forcing this afternoon and tonight bringing a
rapid increase in the rain both in coverage and intensity. The
main rain band will move to the south tonight into Monday, and
many of the projections are now semi-stalling the band over Los
Angeles County through as late as Monday Night...which is
resulting in an increase in totals there. Behind the main band,
many showers and possible thunderstorms will bring occasionally
heavy rainfall through Tuesday morning. These showers will likely
organize into at least one band bringing a few hours of steady moderate
to heavy rain. With the flow staying southerly through the event,
favored south-facing slopes will continue to see amplified
rainfall totals, including the watersheds to several creeks and
rivers which will enhance the risk for flooding.
Impressive rain totals are still on track. The latest projections
create the need to break the totals down. Lower totals of 2 to 4
inches are expected for San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara
Counties, with 4 to 8 inches in the mountains and foothills. That
is still a lot of rain which will pose flooding risks. For all
other areas, 4 to 8 inches are expected, with Los Angeles County
likely seeing the upper end of that range. Favored mountains and
foothills should fall into the 8 to 15 inch range. Rainfall rates
are expected to peak in the 0.50 to 1.00 inch per hour range, but
isolated rates up to 1.50 inches per hour are possible near
thunderstorms, the heaviest cells, and in the favored south-facing
slopes. Also, given the sheer amounts of rainfall expected in the
time period, the 3-6 hour rain rates could be problematic,
exceeding USGS thresholds which could lead to mud/debris flow
issues as well as swift water rescues in the local rivers and
streams. A FLOOD WATCH remains in effect for all areas. See
LAXFFALOX for the latest details.
WIND...
Widespread wind gusts of 50 to 70+ mph are already being reported
over San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara Counties. Power
outages are starting to occur, including where our Santa Barbara
weather radio transmitters are located (currently down). These
winds will work down to the south later this afternoon and while
they will weaken some, they will remain strong through most of
tonight. Winds will peak through 6pm over San Luis Obispo and
Santa Barbara Counties, and 1pm to 1am over Ventura and Los
Angeles Counties. Expecting many trees down and many areas with
experiencing power outages. High Wind Warnings (or Winter Storm
Warnings for the combination of heavy snow and strong winds)
blanket most of the area. Winds will likely decrease significantly
late tonight into Monday.
THUNDERSTORMS...
As the cold front sweeps through, atmospheric instability will
increase across the area. This instability will combine with
diffluence aloft and a low level jet to bring a threat of
thunderstorms to most areas in the today and Monday with the
threat lingering over Los Angeles county through the day on
Tuesday. Given the forecasted shear profile in the atmosphere,
there will be a threat of waterspouts over the coastal waters and
even small tornadoes over the land. Also, there is the potential
for some strong downburst (straight-line) winds with any convective
activity. As for rain rates, any thunderstorm activity could
generate very high rates, on the order of around 1.50 inches per
hour.
SNOWFALL...
Snow levels are still fairly low (it is snowing at Sandberg), but will
start to slowly rise today in the warm southerly flow and will
increase to 6500-7500 ft today. After the cold front passes the
snow levels will drop to 5000-6000 ft Monday/Monday night. They
will fall further to 4000-5000 ft on Tuesday. Since snowfall
totals of 2-4 feet are likely above 7000 feet with 10-20 inches
between 6000 and 7000 feet and 3-10 inches between 5000 and 6000
feet. With strong southerly winds, potentially gusting up to 80
MPH, significant winter storm conditions are likely and WINTER
STORM WARNINGS are in effect for the eastern San Gabriel Mountains
and the northern Ventura county mountains. Future shifts may need
to issue Winter Weather Advisories for other mountain areas,
depending on how things develop. See LAXWSWLOX for the latest
details.
Temperatures...
High temps each day will be within 2 degrees either side of 60
each day.
.LONG TERM (WED-SAT)...03/121 PM.
For the extended, models are in the best agreement, but the
differences will not impact the forecast too much. Essentially,
for Wednesday through Saturday, the area will remain under a
northwesterly flow aloft. For Wednesday, skies will likely be
partly cloudy and a stray light shower can not be ruled out just
about anywhere. For Thursday/Friday, a weak system is forecast to
move across the area, bringing the possibility of light to
moderate precipitation to the area. On Saturday, conditions look
to improve in the wake of the Thursday/Friday system.
&&
.AVIATION...04/1658Z.
At 1645Z, there was no marine inversion or marine layer at KLAX.
Overall, low confidence in 18Z TAF package. High confidence in
development of moderate to heavy rain with associated CIG/VSBY
restrictions. Heaviest rain will occur across San Luis Obispo and
Santa Barbara counties through early this evening and across
Ventura/LA counties late this evening through the overnight hours.
However, low confidence in timing of flight category changes with
CIGs/VSBYs running the gamut from MVFR to LIFR.
Also, strong southeasterly winds will impact all sites through the
period.
KLAX...Low confidence in 18Z TAF. High confidence in development
of heavy rain this evening and overnight with CIG/VSBY
restrictions. However, low confidence in exact flight categories
and timing of category changes. Moderate confidence in east-
southeast winds, gusting 20-25 kt, 22Z-07Z.
KBUR...Low confidence in 18Z TAF. High confidence in development
of heavy rain this evening and overnight with CIG/VSBY
restrictions. However, low confidence in exact flight categories
and timing of category changes.
&&
.MARINE...04/858 AM.
Very dangerous marine conditions are expected across all the
coastal waters today through tonight. Strong southerly winds will
develop today with STORM FORCE winds (gusts 50-60 kt) likely
across all the Outer Waters, the Inner Waters north of Point Sal
and the Santa Barbara Channel. Strong GALE force winds (gusts
35-45 kt) will impact the Inner Waters south of Point Mugu. Along
with the winds, very large seas will impact the waters with 20-28
foot seas from Point Conception northward and 10-20 foot seas
elsewhere. South-facing harbors, such as Port San Luis and Santa
Barbara Harbor, will be impacted with large, breaking waves.
Late tonight, winds and seas will begin to subside. High
confidence in some combination of Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level
winds and seas will continue through Monday night.
For Tuesday and Wednesday, there is a 60-80% chance of SCA level
winds and seas across the Outer Waters and the Inner Waters north
of Point Sal. Elsewhere, there is a 30-40% chance of SCA level
winds.
For Thursday, high confidence in winds and seas remaining below
SCA levels.
Along with the winds and high seas, there will be a 20 percent
chance of thunderstorms today through Monday. Any thunderstorms
that develop will be capable of brief heavy rain, gusty and
erratic winds, steep and rough seas, dangerous cloud to surface
lightning, and possible waterspouts.
&&
.BEACHES...04/858 AM.
An extended period of high surf will affect southwest California
beaches through Monday. A southerly wind driven swell will
develop today, bringing significant surf to south and southwest
facing beaches. North of Point Conception, surf heights of 14-18
feet with local sets to 20 feet are expected with 8 to 12 foot
surf south of Point Conception.
This large wind swell will create breaking waves and a possible
push of water into unprotected SOUTH to SOUTHWEST facing areas
like Port San Luis and Santa Barbara Harbor & Pier, and El Capitan
State Beach.
A combination of strong winds creating large wind driven waves
and higher water levels due to lower atmospheric pressure will
result in a threat of coastal flooding. For south to west facing
beaches along the the Central Coast, moderate coastal flooding
coastal flooding impacts are expected CONTINUOUSLY through the
Monday early morning high tide, due to the luckily miss aligned
high tides and peak surf. For beaches south of Point Conception,
moderate coastal flooding is possible for SOUTH facing harbors
such as Santa Barbara Harbor, mainly during high tide early Monday
morning.
