This upcoming storm is looking to be generally weaker than past storms of this winter, except for a slight chance of thunderstorms late Wednesday-Thursday ☂️. Prepare for slick roads and travel delays and don`t forget to increase following distance with the car in front of you. #LArain #Socal #cawx #ventura #santabarbara #losangeles #Sanluisobispo

Good afternoon from the Swing Shift (Rich, Robbie and Kristan)!!!

We are still expecting a significant storm to, once again, impact Southwestern CA. This is our latest thinking about timing and intensity of rainfall for the area. #CAwx

Repost from @nwslosangeles

Moderate to brief heavy rain will continue to move over Ventura and Los Angeles Counties through the early evening hours. Minor flooding is likely to occur in urban areas along with small stream flooding. Rainfall rates of 0.30-0.50 inch per hour have been common and isolated thunderstorms could occur.

Move away from streams and drainages that could flood. If you see moving water across a roadway, Turn Around Don’t Drown. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and/or your favorite media source for updates on this situation.

Good afternoon from the Day Shift (Rich, Ryan, Rose, Lisa and Dave)!!!

Well, we still are on track for a significant atmospheric rain event for our forecast area from later today through early Saturday morning. By far, the heaviest rainfall will occur across San Luis Obispo county, but all areas will receive some decent rainfall.

Current forecast totals are:

- San Luis Obispo county: 2-5" except 5-10" across the NW part of the county.
- Santa Barbara county: 2-4" with local amounts up to 5" in the foothills.
- Ventura/LA counties: 0.75-1.50" with local amounts up to 3" in the foothills.

Significant hydrologic issues are possible across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, including flooding of rivers and streams, urban flooding as well as mud and landslides. Therefore, a FLOOD WATCH is in effect for these two counties. For Ventura and LA counties, only minor nuisance type of urban flooding is expected.

Snow levels will remain very high, above 9000 feet, through a majority of this rain event. Significant snow melt is likely below 6000 feet elevation. Above 6000 feet, there will be a significant danger of avalanches as well as the potential for snow sliding off roofs (which can result in injury or death).

Along with the rain, there will be some gusty south to southwest winds across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties as well as the Antelope Valley. Wind gusts of 35-50 MPH will be likely with the potential for local gusts around 60 MPH.

Stay tuned for the latest details on this storm.

Good afternoon #SoCal!!!

Here is a nice one page graphic of the expected rain impacts from our impending storm. #CAwx

Good afternoon from the Day Shift (Rich, Mike and Dave)!!!

Although the storm continues to wind down, there still will be scattered showers and thunderstorms across the area through tonight. Any thunderstorms will be capable of producing small hail/graupel, gusty winds and brief heavy rains. Snow levels will remain very low, generally in the 1500-3000 foot range, through tonight. So, there will continue to be the threat of some snow across the valleys.

After a bit of a reprieve on Sunday, a series of weak storms will impact the area in the Monday through Wednesday time frame. This series of storms will be much weaker than what we have just experienced. However, there will be some decent rain and snow totals with these storms.

Stay tuned for the latest details with this active weather.

🥶 Huskies rejoice! But on a serious note, it will be really, really cold this week.

Please make sure you keep your pets safe and limit outdoor time when temperatures are low.

Blizzard warning for extremely dangerous mountain conditions coming. Mountain travel will be a mess.

Clarification note on previous post: After review more records, This is the first blizzard warning that we are aware of (even dating back before 2007).

Prolonged VERY COLD and unsettled pattern on track for late Tuesday through possibly next weekend!

Low confidence on storm details given its Alaskan origin and this rare pattern. Widespread significant rain and mountain/high desert snow is possible.

A weak storm system will bring mainly light rain and low elevation mountain snow to the area late Saturday into early Monday. The heaviest rain will be in Northwestern San Luis Obispo county. A trace of snow could affect Tejon Pass Sunday night through Monday morning, with 1-2 inches of snow possible on the northern slopes of the Ventura Mountains.

A cold storm system will bring rain and mountain snow to the area Sunday into Monday. Low elevation snow is expected down to around 3000`. Most areas will see a dusting to 3 inches of snow, except for the San Gabriel Mountains where 4-8 inches of snow are expected at the higher elevations (above 4500 feet). Snow and blowing snow are expected, with winter driving conditions in the mountains, and possible chain requirements. Check road conditions before you head into the mountains!

Repost from @nwslosangeles

A cold storm will move over the area Sunday into Monday with mainly light rain expected. Rainfall totals for most areas will be 0.10 to 0.25 inches. Mountain snow will be the main impact. 1-3 inches of snow will be possible above 3500 feet in most mountain areas, except for 4-8 inches of snow possible in the eastern San Gabriels above 4500 feet. The major mountain passes are likely to see snow, with 1-2" possible on the Grapevine. Winter driving conditions are expected, so use caution and check road conditions before you drive into the mountains!

Good afternoon from the Day Shift (Rich, Mike, Eric, Ryan and Lisa)!!!

Well, the Santa Ana winds continue to gradually diminish this afternoon and will continue that trend this evening and overnight.

So, with the wind issues ending, our attention turns to a cold storm expected to impact the area on Sunday and Monday. At this time, this storm looks rather weak. Most areas can expect one quarter inch or less of rainfall, although higher totals are likely across the San Gabriel Mountains and foothills. The main story with this storm will be the low snow levels. At this time, snow levels around 4000 feet are expected on Sunday, but will drop to 2500-3000 feet Sunday night and Monday. With such low snow levels, there may be some significant travel issues across the local mountains, including the I-5 through the Grapevine.

Stay tuned for the latest details with this upcoming storm.
