Hello all!~
If you are planning on going hiking this weekend or early next week, be advised of the special weather report released by the National Weather Service concerning the next few days:
COLD AND RAINY WEATHER PATTERN FOR SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA... A DEEP LOW PRESSURE TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE WEST WILL SEND A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NEXT WEEK... BRINGING PERIODS OF RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW AT TIMES.
THE FIRST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE THIS WEEKEND AS THE MARINE LAYER RAPIDLY DEEPENS. A BETTER CHANCE OF MORE SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION WILL BE MONDAY AND TUESDAY WHEN A STRONGER STORM MOVES INLAND. COOLER WEATHER WITH PERIODS OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT NEXT WEEK.
PRELIMINARY RAINFALL ESTIMATES THIS WEEKEND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK RANGE FROM ABOUT ONE TO TWO INCHES WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS... TWO TO FOUR INCHES ON THE WEST FACING MOUNTAIN SLOPES AND UP TO ABOUT AN INCH IN THE DESERTS.
SNOW LEVELS WILL START OUT ABOVE 7000 FEET AND THEN LOWER TO ABOUT 4000 TO 5000 FEET MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... ALTHOUGH IT COULD GET LOCALLY LOWER. THERE COULD BE ONE TO TWO FEET OF SNOW AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SAN BERNARDINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTY MOUNTAINS WITH ABOUT HALF A FOOT IN THE SAN DIEGO MOUNTAINS AND ON THE PEAKS OF THE SANTA ANA MOUNTAINS. SNOW... BLOWING SNOW AND DENSE FOG WILL MAKE TRAVEL HAZARDOUS THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS DURING THIS PERIOD.
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL INCREASE THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL.
RESIDENTS LIVING IN AND BELOW RECENTLY BURNED AREAS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING AND DEBRIS FLOW. PEOPLE PLANNING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER FORECASTS.
