Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Diego CA
920 PM PST Tue Feb 6 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Areas of moderate to locally heavy rainfall are expected to
continue overnight into Wednesday. Precipitation coverage will be
showery. Localized flooding is possible overnight, especially
where heavier showers develop. A more organized band of
precipitation is expected to pass through Southern California Wednesday
night into Thursday. Periods of showers will continue into
Friday. Dry with a slow warming trend beginning Sunday with high
temperatures returning to around average for the middle of next
week.

&&

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

Current radar imagery is showing areas of mostly light to moderate
showers moving across coast and valley locations at 9 PM this
evening. Rainfall accumulations over the past 6 hours (as of 9 PM
Feb 6) have mostly been 0.10-0.30 inch, a few mountain locations
have accumulated closer to0.50-0.60 inches, and some locations in
the deserts have accumulated less than a tenth of an inch. Areas
of rain are expected to continue overnight into Wednesday morning.
Based on current observations snow levels are around 4500-5000 ft
in the San Bernardino and Riverside County mountains and 6000 ft
in the San Diego County mountains, periods of snow showers will
continue overnight as well.

By Wednesday afternoon, most of the shower activity will become
confined to the mountains, and the coast and valleys will see a
brief reprieve from the rain. Another storm system will be fast on
its heels though, moving down the California coast on Wednesday,
reaching Southern California Wednesday night. More widespread
rainfall will develop Wednesday night into Thursday morning and
persist into Friday morning. Preliminary rainfall looks lighter than
the current system, and the bulk of the precipitation looks to focus
on San Diego County. Forecast additional rainfall amounts for
Wednesday night into Friday are: Orange County and the Inland
Empire: 0.30-0.50 inches; San Diego Coast: 0.60-0.75 inches; San
Diego Valleys: 0.75-1 inch; San Bernardino and Riverside
mountains: 0.75-1 inch; San Diego County mountains: 1-2 inches;
deserts: less than 0.25 inches.

For Wednesday and Thursday snow levels are forecast to be
4500-5000 ft across all area mountain ranges. Periods of heavy
snow are expected overnight Wednesday into Thursday. Additional
accumulations of 12 to locally up to 18 inches above 7000 feet, 6
to 14 inches 6000-7000 feet, and 5 to 10 inches 5000-6000 feet for
the Riverside and San Bernardino County mountains. In the San
Diego County mountains 5 to 10 inches of snow are possible above
5000 ft, local amounts up to 18 inches possible above 5500 ft.
1-2 inches of snow possible down to 4500 ft.

Periods of gusty west winds are also expected Wednesday night into
Thursday. Gusts of 50 to 60 mph expected in the mountains. Gusty
southwest winds are possible along the coast with peak gusts 25 to
30 mph possible. Wind gusts in the deserts could reach 35 to 45
mph. Winds are expected to diminish into Thursday afternoon.

.From the Previous Discussion...

Persistent troughing over the western United States will lead to
continued below normal temperatures this week. The coldest days of
the week look to be Wednesday and Thursday, when highs will top out
5-10 degrees below at the coast, and 10-20 degrees below normal
across the valleys, mountains and deserts.

By this weekend, a ridge of high pressure begins to build across the
eastern Pacific, bringing an end to the repeated rounds of rain and
cold temperatures. Sunshine and near normal temperatures will then
be seen into the first half of next week.
