SYNOPSIS
A trough deepening down the West Coast Thursday will bring gusty west winds to the mountains and deserts Thursday afternoon through Friday. Thursday will be a mild day followed by further cooling on Friday. Over the weekend the trough will bring rain and mountain snow Saturday and Sunday as it moves across Southern California. Scattered showers on Monday will end Monday night as the storm exits. Dry and warmer next Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure builds over the Southwest.
DISCUSSION
FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES...
Update...
A 525 DM low is churning off the coast of the Pacific Northwest tonight. The 00z Miramar sounding showed very dry conditions below 500 mb with increasing moisture above that level and increasing winds aloft ahead of that storm system. Generally light winds are expected overnight, but an advancing shortwave will lead to periods of gusty winds over the mountains and desert slopes, strongest Thursday afternoon into early Friday morning.
Slight cooling is anticipated for Thursday west of the mountains, with highs 2-4 degrees cooler than today, but a few degrees warmer in the lower deserts. Highs will top out in the mid to upper-60s across the coast, valleys and High Desert, the 40s to 50s in the mountains and lower 80s in the lower deserts.
Previous Discussion (Issued 145 PM PDT Wed Mar 27 2024)...
Today was a mild day with generally light winds and mostly sunny skies. Thursday will be a couple degrees cooler over and west of the mountains as the onshore flow picks up ahead of a trough deepening down the West Coast. In contrast, the lower deserts will be a couple degrees warmer with highs reaching the low to mid 80s.
The stronger onshore flow Thursday will generate gusty mountain and deserts winds Thursday afternoon through Friday. West of the mountains there will be a steadily deepening marine layer with low clouds spreading a little farther inland each night and clearing a little later each morning.
Over the weekend a strong winter storm will bring rain, mountain snow and gusty winds. A deep West Coast trough will impact the entire West Coast from British Columbia down to northern Baja. On Friday night this trough will be centered just west of SFO as a deep 534 dm closed low that will direct an atmospheric river into Southern California and bring rain and high elevation snow Saturday and Sunday.
The models are in good agreement on the track and timing of the arrival of the atmospheric river in SoCal Saturday morning with a PWAT of 1.00". This is a potentially impactful rain event, so much so that the Weather Prediction Center has the coastal, valley and mountain zones in their Excessive Rainfall Outlook this weekend. The heaviest rain will fall on the west and southwest facing mountain slopes where 2-4" of rain is forecast in the enhanced southwest upslope flow ahead of the trough. Amounts as high a 5" are possible in the San Bernardino Mountains. Rain totals west of the mountains are for 1.50-2+" of rain. In the high deserts 0.50-1.00" is forecast, and 0.25-0.50" is forecast in the lower deserts.
The bulk of the rain will fall on Saturday with the AR, followed by more intermittent convective showers and isolated thunderstorms on Sunday as lapse rates steepen in the cold core low over SoCal.
Showers Sunday night and Monday will taper off and end Monday night as the storm moves east.
The snow level will fall to 5500 feet Saturday morning, then fluctuate between 5000 and 5500 feet Sunday.
Projected Snow Totals: 5000-5500 ft...0-2" 5500-6500 ft...2-6" 6500-7000 ft...6-12" Above 7000 ft..12+"
