12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 945 PM PDT Sun Apr 5 2020
SYNOPSIS. A slow-moving winter-like storm will bring cold weather and periods of rain and mountain snow through Wednesday night. Widespread precipitation in the northern areas Monday morning will move south into San Diego County Monday afternoon and Monday night. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are forecast Tuesday and Wednesday. Heavy snow will impact the San Bernardino mountains. The storm will exit the region Friday, followed by dry and milder weather next weekend.
DISCUSSION. FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE . SAN DIEGO . WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES .
The AR is on it's way. The PW on the Vandenberg sounding was 0.86" this evening, up from 0.56" this morning. A band of moderate rain made landfall over Santa Barbara County this afternoon with max 1- hour rain rates of 0.30" over the Santa Ynez and Sierra Madre mountains. 6-hour totals ranged from 0.75"-1.40". That band of rain will sag south and reach Orange and San Bernardino Counties around daybreak. Areas with the greatest rain impacts Monday morning include Orange County, the San Bernardino Counties mountains and the Inland Empire from Chino to San Bernardino. Road flooding will be an issue in low areas and on roads with poor drainage. Rainfall records for April 6th may be broken. The daily rain record for Riverside is 0.92".
Precipitable water values with this AR will be twice the norm. With the moisture plume squarely focused on the southwest facing slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains, enhanced orographics will support 1- hour rain rates upwards of 0.50"/hr. This is where the flash flood threat will be the greatest due to strong southwest winds and the deep moisture. The Cansac WRF forecasts from 3-6" of rain on some of the southwest facing slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains as well as the San Bernardinos.
The lead band of rain Monday morning will move south into San Diego County Monday afternoon and Monday night. After that we will be in the cold sector of the storm Tuesday and Wednesday with scattered showers, isolated thunderstorms and lower snow levels.
* From Previous Discussion *
Current projections take the center inland near San Diego County From Pre on Wednesday, when instability will be maximized for potential thunderstorms and numerous showers. After that model solutions are quite different. The slower ECMWF model is favored here, and develops quite a bit of precip over the southern deserts Tue night into Wed. Then, the precip mechanism transitions to wrap- around as the upper low lifts NE toward Las Vegas on Thursday. This track would keep/bring another round of showers back across the forecast area Wed night and Thu. The track is favorable for excessive amounts of snow in the San Bernardino Mts and should rival, if not exceed record April amounts that occurred back in the late 90s at higher elevations. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the area and may need to be extended in time if the current path projections of the ECMWF model pan out. Uncertainty remains high enough though, to blend in a faster eastward progression of the system inland in line with GFS/NAM solutions in later forecast periods.
It will be a wet week, but by Friday the low should be moving SE across AZ, setting us up for a fair, dry and warmer weekend.
AVIATION. 060300Z . Coast/Valleys/Mountains . BKN-OVC skies will prevail at all terminals through Tuesday. CIGS will generally range between 1800-3000 ft MSL, however may lower closer to 1000-1500 ft MSL anytime during periods of heavier rain. Rain, with possible embedded TS, will traverse the region Monday. The heaviest rain is expected 11-19Z for NW areas (KSNA, KONT), progressing SE through the day. Heaviest rain is expected Monday afternoon (18Z-04Z) for San Diego County. VIS will likely alternate between 2 and 6 miles for much of the day (San Diego terminals mostly 6SM+ during the morning), lowest during heavy rain when VIS may locally lower to 1SM for brief periods.
Wind will be an additional concern over the next 24 hours. Gusty winds are expected area-wide ahead of the front, with gusts generally 20-30 kts out of the S/SW. There is potential for winds to be particularly strong in coastal San Diego County, and KSAN may see gusts to 35 kts, most likely between 07Z and 16Z Monday. This may warrant an Airport Weather Warning for KSAN if trends hold, though confidence is low-moderate at this time.
Deserts . Mostly SCT skies tonight, becoming BKN by morning. -SHRA likely Monday afternoon (Monday morning in the High Desert) with SFC winds gusting 20-30 kts through much the day. VIS generally 6SM and above for most of the period, though may lower to near 3SM at times during heavier showers.
MARINE. Showers will continue to increase in coverage through tonight, becoming heavy by morning with isolated thunderstorms and waterspouts possible. The chance for thunderstorms may persist through Wednesday.
Winds will continue to strengthen over the next several hours, and will stay gusty through the day Monday, particularly ahead of the main front. South to southwest winds will gust to 25 kts, locally to 30 kts, at times through Monday evening. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect - see the bulletin for more information.
BEACHES. Isolated thunderstorms with lightning will be possible at times Monday through Wednesday.
HYDROLOGY. Long duration rainfall event will bring the potential for urban and small stream flooding at times, mainly Monday through Wednesday evening. There could also be isolated flash flooding in poor drainage areas and near recent burn scars. Here are the latest rainfall totals forecast for the period Monday through Thursday:
High Desert . 1.0-1.7 inches. Urbanized flooding will be a concern in the communities of the high desert.
Lower Deserts: 0.5-1.2 inches. Inflow into the Whitewater River will need to be monitored and may cause low-water crossing impacts in the Coachella Canal Tuesday or Wednesday.
Coast/Valley: 1.50-2.75 inches. Urban and small stream flooding will be a concern for all of these areas.
Mountains: 3-8 inches with the highest totals along the coastal slopes of the San Bernardino Mts. Less expected south through Riverside and the San Diego County Mts where less upslope enhancement is likely. Small streams may overflow their banks for a time later Monday into Tuesday on the coastal slopes when the most widespread moderate rainfall is expected. Rock and mud slides will be possible in the mountains below the snow level.
River flows will be higher than normal, even for the Mojave. Inflow to the Whitewater River may be sufficient for significant flows into the Coachella Canal and will need to be monitored. For the San Diego River, the duration and intensity of the rain will likely raise the River enough to close the low water crossings through Mission Valley at times, but timing is uncertain. At this time, no mainstem river flooding is forecast.
SKYWARN. Skywarn will be activated for San Bernardino, Orange and Riverside Counties at 8 AM Monday to report high rain rates and areas of flooding.
SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. CA . Winter Storm Warning from 11 PM this evening to 5 AM PDT Thursday for Riverside County Mountains-San Bernardino County Mountains.
PZ . Small Craft Advisory from 11 PM this evening to 6 PM PDT Monday for Coastal Waters from San Mateo Point to the Mexican Border and out to 30 nm-Waters from San Mateo point to the Mexican Border Extending 30 to 60 nm out including San Clemente Island.
