southwestern San Bernardino Counties through tonight, rainfall and
liquid-equivalent above the snow level is expected to range from
0.30 to 0.60 inch near the coast to 0.75 to 1.25 inches in the
mountains with snowfall of 2 inches above 6000 to 6500 feet and 3
to 6 inches above 8000 feet. For San Diego County, rainfall
through tonight is expected to range from 0.5 to 1 inch near the
coast to 1.5 to 2.5 inches in the mountains. For today and
tonight, the NBM probability for Palomar Mountain to receive 2 or
more inches of rainfall is 70 percent. Snow levels this morning
are around 5500 ft and light snow has been reported at Birch Hill
in Palomar Mountain and in Big Bear. Snow levels are expected to
rise to 6000 to 6500 feet around noon, 7000 to 7500 by late this

inches of snow is expected this morning.
Periods of moderate to heavy rainfall is expected Thursday into

midnight. For lower elevations, peak rainfall rates will be near
0.40 inches per hour with peak rainfall rates 0.50 to 0.75 inches
per hour in the mountains. The 99th percentile of the HREF even has
hourly rainfall rates approaching 1 inch per hour on the coastal
slopes of the San Bernardino mountains. There is a 15 to 20 percent
chance of thunderstorms for overnight Thursday. Where thunderstorms
develop will be the most likely places to see rainfall rates near 1
inch per hour.

Bernardino Counties from around 1.5 inch near the coast to 3 to 5
inches in the mountains with local amounts to around 6 inches. For
