...ANOTHER EARLY SEASON STORM SYSTEM WILL IMPACT SOUTHWEST
CALIFORNIA SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...
A COLD LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH CALIFORNIA ON
SUNDAY...AND FOLLOW A SIMILAR PATH TO THE STORM ON FRIDAY. THIS
SYSTEM WILL BE SLIGHTLY WEAKER...BUT POTENT ENOUGH FOR PERIODS OF
MODERATE RAIN AND FURTHER ACCUMULATING SNOW IN THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS.
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN BEFORE 10 AM PST OVER ORANGE AND SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY...AND SPREAD SOUTH THROUGH RIVERSIDE AND SAN DIEGO
COUNTY BY EARLY AFTERNOON. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT RAINFALL
WILL BE LESS THAN ONE INCH...EXCEPT IN THE SAN DIEGO MOUNTAINS WHERE
UPSLOPE FLOW MAY ENHANCE AMOUNTS SUNDAY EVENING. LITTLE RAIN IS
EXPECTED IN THE DESERTS.
THE SNOW LEVEL WILL FALL TO AROUND 5000 FEET OR LOWER SUNDAY
EVENING...WHICH MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO
4 INCHES ABOVE 5500 FEET IN THE SAN DIEGO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTY
MOUNTAINS. LESS SNOW LOOKS LIKELY FOR THE SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS
WITH DRIER AIR ARRIVING THERE SOONER.
SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY...ESPECIALLY IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS WHERE GUSTS OF 35 TO 40 MPH LOOK POSSIBLE FOR
LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THE RAIN AND SNOW WILL END LATE SUNDAY NIGHT WITH FAIR WEATHER
EXPECTED ON MONDAY.
THOSE PLANNING TO VISIT THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD STAY INFORMED AND TAKE
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS FOR POSSIBLE DIFFICULT TRAVEL DUE TO SLICK ROADS
AND POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW...FOG...AND RAIN. CAMPERS AND HIKERS IN
THE HIGHER MOUNTAIN AREAS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE COMBINATION OF
SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES...SNOW...AND STRONG WINDS.
