TODAY’S WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST

....Good morning.
..This morning we have high clouds flowing in from an area of Low pressure now centered off the Central California Coast.
..This area of Low pressure will slide South just offshore along the Coast over the next of couple days. As this “Closed Low” slides South offshore of SoCal, it will strengthen to around 560dm offshore before moving Inland over Northern Baja California on Saturday.
..Here in SoCal we will see increasing clouds with a chance for rain showers developing on Thursday.
..Fog and low clouds will be developing locally by Thursday night. Clouds will build in at the higher levels first, then fill in to the lower elevations due to this being a warm front.
..Rain showers will be likely by Thursday afternoon with intermittent showers possible right through Friday night.
..This storm will be moving in from the South with fairly high freezing levels, above 7000′, through Thursday night. Then the freezing levels will possibly lower to the 6500′ level by Friday afternoon and into Saturday morning as the colder back side of the system moves by.
..Little to no accumulations of snow is expected from this storm as the cold air is at the backside of this system where there is very little moisture. Rainfall totals are looking like from .025-0.50″ locally through Friday night.
..All of this will move East Saturday with clearing skies. A Ridge of High pressure will build over the West again blocking the storm track from all of the Western States into early February after this Low Pressure area passes by.

TODAY’S WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST:


..Good Morning.
..This morning, a weak Trough is passing over SoCal. As a result, the Marine layer has moved inland and is up to around 5500′ thick, with fog and clouds along and below the Rim.
..This will slowly clear out today as the Trough moves out of the area. However morning fog and low clouds can be expected again overnight and in the morning tomorrow.
..Temperatures will be running in the upper 50s to mid 60s today across the mountains as well as on Sunday.
..Late Sunday as a much stronger system approaches the West, we will see gusty winds develop along the Rim and front country in advance of a pretty wet system that will bring a good wetting rain to the area through early Tuesday morning.
..This system will have support of an Atmospheric River (AR) that will be dying out as it passes over SoCal. However, it will be strong enough to bring up to 2 inches of rain in some local mountain upslope areas. The recent burn areas need to keep watch over the recently burned hills for the possibility of flash Flooding or mud flows.
..The snow levels due to the AR from the South will keep those levels at 7500′ and above for this storm.
..As this will be the first rain that will likely cause some run off, this is a good time to check those drainage areas to make sure they are clear of debris.
..Tuesday and for the rest of the week ahead, we will have clearing skies and warming temperatures as High pressure rebuilds into the SoCal region. RC
..That’s it for now, have a good day! RC
