Southern California Storm (This is thread two)

[nadinbrzezinski]

117. From my Department of public works this morning

The Weather Outlook -

The upper level low, which was expected to move into Central California, has intensified and instead appears to be headed for Southern California. Winds have picked up and are blowing strongly out of the south. We should expect more periods of heavy rain this evening associated with the bands out at sea. Thunderstorms have been rolling across the region and will continue through tomorrow with a chance of waterspouts and weak tornadoes near the coast. The NWS still feels that we are on track for 2”-3” along the coast through Sunday morning, 3”-5” mountains with significantly higher amounts on the south-facing slopes of Palomar Mountain, and 0.5”-1” of rain in the deserts. Snow level should be dropping to 6000’ Saturday morning and 5000’-5500’ by Saturday evening. We should expect 3”-4” of snow at the higher elevations. ·

Skies begin to clear late Sunday as weak high pressure forms over the area early next week for fair and warmer temperatures.
