Re: 7 Day Forecast:Update; Low Snow Levels Heavy Rain
A Strong Cold Front Will Cross Central California On Saturday. As A Result...Winds Will Increase Across The Area. With Sustained Winds Of 25 To 40 Mph With Gusts As High As 60 Mph Over The Kern County Mountains And Deserts. In Addition Sustained Winds Of 15 To 25 Mph With Gusts Up To 45 Mph Will Be Possible Across The West Side Of The San Joaquin Valley Including Along The I-5 Corridor. The Winds Will Subside On Saturday Night As A Cold And Unsettled Air mass Pushes Into The Area.
As the Storm Moves into Southern California, Significant Precipitation Will Be Possible From Sunday Through The Middle Of Next Week With Temperatures Running Well Below Normal...Especially Across The Higher Elevations.
As A Result...The Snow Level Will Lower To 1500 To 2500 Feet Which Will Impact Travel Across I-5 Over The Grapevine As Well As Along The Coastal Passes On Sunday.
There are Several Storms Lined up To come Into The South Land, Each One as Cold as The Previous. It is not beyond the Realm Of Possibility that the Snow Level Could Fall To 1,000 feet Especially along The 14 and 5, along the 210 Towards the 15 and Into the Lower Areas Of Glen Helen, the Junction of the 215 and The 15.
Snow fall in the Santa Mt's could be as Low as 3,000 Feet lowering to 2,000 Feet in Heavy Rain bands.
This a Changing Storm, so we Don't Expect Lots of Snow Nor for It To Stick for Very Long at The low Levels. But up to 30 Inches Of snow Could Fall in The resort Areas by Next Thursday.

This is not the main storm....The dry atmosphere is being replaced by very wet and cold moisture coming in from the north as predicted. Any cloud formation with enough moisture with it will drop Virgo and light showers, perhaps even some thunderstorms over the mountains.
This is just the beginning. Gary |

| I was referring to the dry air over the south land that is being replaced by moist onshore air. It is not quite saturated enough for all of the moisture that was in those clouds to produce even more than showers.
Showers that fall that do not reach the ground are called virga. Oh heck I misspelled it.  |

1 edit | I dont know of another word for it other than the moisture falling evaporates before it hits the ground. The process for this is called virga.
6:PM update;
It looks like a series of storms will be moving over the south Land over the next 5 to 7 days. If they move as they are currently moving we will have a few hours of rain and then a few hours of showers.
If the storms slow down then the rainfall will increase. Right now we are looking at 1 to 2 inches along the coast and LA Basin, 3 to 4 inches of rain against the up slope west facing foothills and MT's.
Sunday night snow level will start out at 7,000 feet lowering to 5,000 feet my Monday afternoon. By Tuesday Morning snow levels could be down to 3500 feet affecting all pass's.
Wednesday Morning could see snow levels dip even further as more cold air filters in from the north, perhaps as low as 2500 feet in the Antalope valley and Palmdale landcaster areas. During briedf periods of heavy rain in thunderstorms the snow levels could drop to valley floor levels or 1500 feet.
Again, this all depends on the speed and timing of the arrival of the storm impulses and the cold air. Daytime highs will average 25 degrees below normal all areas.
Snow amounts of 12 to 30 inches are possible at all resort levels with 6 inches possible at 3,000 feet. Mammoth could see as much 6 feet of new snow and the northern Sierras and the Cascades could see snow fall measured in feet. |

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 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 down To 2500 Feet In the Inland Valleys and 1500 Feet in The Colder Wind Protected Areas.
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.
