Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
323 AM PDT Fri Mar 29 2024
.SYNOPSIS...29/231 AM.
An unseasonably cold and vigorous storm system will move into the
region this afternoon and continue through the weekend. This storm
will bring periods of heavy rain and mountain snow along with a
slight chance of thunderstorms. A warming and drying trend will
develop next week.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TDY-SUN)...29/322 AM.
A very cold (esp for this time of year) 533 dam upper low is 100
miles to the west of Eureka. This low will slowly spin down the
coast and will arrive a few miles to the west of Pt Conception
Saturday evening. The upper low will then devolve into a trof and
progress eastward Sunday and early Monday. The cold front assoc
with this front will arrive at the Central Coast later this
afternoon. It will then move to the south and east arriving at VTA
county after midnight and LA county around dawn. The front should
push east of LA county late Saturday morning. The cold upper low
will then approach and slowly swing through the area Saturday
afternoon through Sunday. Hgts will reach their nadir (547 dam)
Sunday afternoon which is about 25 dam below normal.
Heavy rain ahead of and with the front will be accompanied by
strong winds and wind warnings and wind advisories cover all of
SLO and SBA counties from this afternoon into early Saturday
morning. Additional wind advisories for VTA and LA county will
likely be issued later today. Please see the product LAXNPWLOX for
all of the wind details.
This front will likely bring about 2/3s of the storms precip
totals (which is still forecast to range from 1-3" across the
csts/vlys/lower foothills and 3-6" for coastal facing higher
foothills and mountains). Flood watches cover the area through
the weekend due to expected periods of heavy rain that will result
in frequent and widespread road flooding as well as additional
mud and rock slides.
After the front rolls through the steady rain will turn to showers
as the atmosphere rapidly destabilizes with the very cold aloft
assoc with the upper low. A slgt chc (15 to 20 percent) of TSTMs
will develop first across the Central Coast Saturday afternoon and
then over the entire area Saturday night into Sunday. Any TSTM
that forms could produce rainfall rates up to 1 inch per hour. The
best chc of TSTMs will be later Sunday morning and afternoon when
a vort lobe moves through southern portions of VTA and LA
counties. These TSTMs on Sunday could produce small hail, gusty
winds, frequent lightning, and possibly even a small tornado or
waterspout.
Snow will be final concern assoc with this event. Look for significant
snow accumulations above 6000 feet where 1-2 feet are possible,
with even higher amounts at the highest peaks. A winter storm
warning has been issued for the mountains from SBA County through
LA County and is in effect from this evening through Sunday
evening. Snow levels should remain above the Grapevine but there
is a 10 percent chc of a snow burst under a TSTM. Wind gusts from
60 to 65 mph will pummel the mtns as well but they will diminish
Saturday afternoon. Please see the product LAXWSWLOX for all
details on the winter weather affecting the mtns.
While most of the rain will fall with the front, Sunday will still
be wet with all of the shower and TSTMs activity. Unlike Saturday
morning, however, there will be dry periods in between
showers/TSTMs.
Max temps will plummet 5 to 10 degrees today with cst/vly highs
ranging only from the upper 50s to the mid 60s. More cooling on
tap on Saturday where most max temps will not even touch 60. Max
temps will not change much on Sunday. These weekend high temps
will mostly be 8 to 16 degrees blo normals.
.LONG TERM (MON-THU)...
Will be issued shortly
