WEATHER UPDATE: SATURDAY 12-28-2019

 **Updated to further decrease rain and snow chances on Monday**

Latest computer data is starting to pull the next storm system farther off the coast. If this trend continues, it will dramatically alter our forecast for Monday and Tuesday. At this point, I'll keep rain showers in the forecast on Monday (20%). Tuesday is now looking completely dry.

Snow levels will still hover around 4,500 to 5,000 feet. With the moisture migrating farther east, the chances for snow accumulations are very slim.

I'll keep an eye on this storm and bring more updates if needed. It's a challenging forecast to say the least!

Most moisture is staying off the coast

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED FRIDAY 12-27-2019

More rain is headed our way for next Monday into early Tuesday (12/30-12/31). A system will dive out of the Gulf of Alaska and glide along the West Coast into our area. You can spot the system in the satellite loop below.

The computer forecasts have been very consistent with this scenario. Showers and isolated downpours will overspread the area Monday morning and persist through most of the day. Showers will still be possible on Tuesday, however, they will be more spotty in nature. We should be dry by Tuesday afternoon. Rain totals could approach 1". I've included a projection below.

Snow levels will start at around 5,000 feet Monday morning, then drop to 4,000 feet by Monday afternoon. Local mountains will get another accumulating snow from this system, though it's still too early to give precise amounts.

WEATHER UPDATE: TUESDAY 12-24-2019

A stray shower is possible for this afternoon and evening. Then periods of light to moderate rainfall will be possible on-and-off tonight and through Christmas Day.

However, the heaviest rain is headed this way Wednesday night into early Thursday as the core of the storm system blasts through our area. Rain and isolated downpours will be possible during this time. We should easily receive an additional 1-2" of rainfall.

Snow levels will range from 4,000 to 5,000 feet through most of this event. Local mountains will get a healthy accumulation of snow. Current computer projections have Cuyamaca getting well over a foot of snow. Taller mountains to the north (San Jacinto and San Bernardino) will approach 3 feet of snow. I've included the rain and snow projections below.

Rain and snow will dissipate by Friday morning. Afterwards, I'm watching for another chance for rain headed this way  Monday 12/30.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED TUESDAY 12-17-2019

It's looking like the weather pattern will become active for the final two weeks of the year. I've been watching this over the past few days and the computer forecasts have been fairly consistent with this scenario.

A small storm system will bring rain to Northern California tomorrow. Unfortunately, this system won't bring any rain into our area. I'm keeping a closer eye in the Gulf of Alaska, where the upper atmosphere is becoming energized. Eventually a series of systems will dive out of this region and bring us our next chance for rain.

Showers should develop Sunday night (12/22) and persist on-and-off through Monday (12/23). Isolated showers could linger into Tuesday (12/24) as well. This system doesn't look cold, so snow levels will be moderately high.

The second wave of energy moves in late Christmas Day. Right now it looks like the heaviest rain will move in Wednesday night (12/25) and into Thursday (12/26). This will be a colder system, so some local mountains could get some snow.

Obviously this is still far away, so there could be some changes to the timing of the rainfall.  I'll have more updates in the coming days. This pattern could persist into New Year's.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED THURSDAY 12-5-2019

The forecast is still on track with this next storm system. You can see it spinning off the coast of Northern California on the first map below.

A few sprinkles could develop on Friday, but a better chance for rain will arrive on Saturday as the core of the system approaches. Intermittent showers will be possible through the day on Saturday. A quick downpour could also develop.

The chance for sporadic showers will persist through Sunday.  Rain totals will range from 0.25 to 0.5".

Snow levels will be around 10,000 feet for most of the weekend.

Afterwards, the weather pattern looks dry for most of next workweek with warming temperatures.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SATURDAY 11-30-2019

A couple storm systems will merge together and bring our area another chance for rain next Tuesday night into Wednesday. You can spot them on the satellite loop below. One is spinning off the Pacific Northwest coastline. Another is spiraling in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast.

Computer forecasts have been fairly consistent with this scenario and have both systems merging and bringing rain to Southern California Tuesday night. Periods of rain and isolated downpours/thunderstorms will be possible through Wednesday. 0.5" to 1.0" of rainfall is possible. I've posted projected rain totals below. You can see that the Central Coast will get the lion's share of the rainfall.

This system is warm-cored, so snow levels will remain high. I'm not expecting any significant snow in local mountains.

I'll bring more updates as the system approaches. I'm also watching for another rain chance possibly arriving next weekend.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SUNDAY 11-24-2019

I've sifted through all the latest data this morning. A forecast like this is always challenging because the slightest shift in storm track can dramatically affect rain and snow totals. Computer forecasts have been a little inconsistent with the track of the core of this system. There has been some wobbling east and west, though this is to be expected. Regardless, not much has changed with the forecast - rain is likely for the upcoming week with significant snow in the mountains.

Showers could start as early as late morning Wednesday (40%), then rain is likely Wednesday afternoon/evening (100%). Periods of rain with embedded heavy downpours will then persist on-and-off through the day Thanksgiving (100%). It will be a raw and windy day. Wind gusts in the mountains will be intense.

Intermittent showers will linger on Friday (80%). The rain chance then diminishes Friday night.

Snow levels will start at 7,000 feet Wednesday morning, then steadily drop through the day to 5,000 feet Wednesday night. Snow levels will range from 4,000 to 5,000 Thursday, then fall as low as 3,000 feet on Friday. The tallest mountains in San Diego County could easily get a few inches. Peaks in the San Jacinto and San Bernardino mountains should exceed a foot of snow.

I've included the latest computer forecast for rain and snow totals. This system is still far away, so there will be some adjustments to this forecast in the coming days.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED FRIDAY 11-22-2019

I'm keeping a close eye on our next storm system, which could bring significant rainfall to Southern California heading into Thanksgiving. There will be an enormous buckle in the jet stream, which will allow a powerful storm system to dive south from the Gulf of Alaska and settle right off the coast of California. You can spot it on the first map below.

Most computer forecasts have rain arriving in our area midday Wednesday. We will then experience several rounds of rain with embedded downpours that will persist through the day on Thanksgiving.

Intermittent showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible on Friday, then lingering showers will diminish Saturday. If this system takes the current projected path, rain totals could easily approach 3-4" with higher amounts in the mountains. I've included one computer outlook below.

Snow levels will be high though Thanksgiving, then levels will drop as the core of the system passes overhead. This should bring snow to the taller mountains in San Diego County.

This storm system is still far away, so a lot can change with the forecast. Given the upcoming Holiday, you should start planning for bad road conditions. Better safe than sorry!

I'll bring more updates in the coming days.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED MONDAY 11-18-2019

There are no major changes from the initial forecast. The storm system is on our doorstep and will bring the first substantial rainfall to Southern California this rain season.

On the satellite image below, you can spot a system spinning to our south. This will provide some moisture to our area tomorrow. An isolated shower could pop up Tuesday, especially in the afternoon (40%).

A better chance for rain arrives Tuesday night and persists through the day on Wednesday as a more potent system dives from the north (also spotted on the satellite image below). Periods of rain are likely during this time period (90%). Isolated downpours and thunderstorms are also possible.

Lingering showers are possible Thursday, especially in the morning, as the system exits the region (60%). The rain chance completely diminishes by late Thursday afternoon.

Rain totals will range from 0.5" to 1.0" for coastal and inland areas. Isolated areas in the mountains could easily exceed 2.0". I've posted a computer forecast of rain totals below.

Snow levels will drop as low as 5,500 feet on Wednesday. Some wet snow is possible on the tallest mountains in San Diego County, though it probably won't accumulate. Taller mountains to the north (above 8,000 feet) will get a few inches of wet snow.

Stay safe out there!

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED THURSDAY 11-14-2019

Computer forecasts continue to show a storm system diving out of the Gulf of Alaska and bringing rain to Southern California next week. I was a tad skeptical of this scenario. It's a challenging forecast, especially given our current weather pattern (dry and warm). Regardless, the computers are persistent, so it can't be neglected.

Given the current data, isolated showers will develop next Tuesday night (20%), then the best chance for rain will arrive Wednesday (40%). Isolated thunderstorms will also be possible. Lingering showers will exit the region Thursday afternoon (30%).

We are in a turbulent weather pattern, so I am certain that there will be some adjustments on the timing of this system. I'll keep watching it and bring more updates in the coming days.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED THURSDAY 10-24-2019

During this time of the year, all eyes are up near the Gulf of Alaska and out in the Pacific. These are where almost all of our storm systems originate. I've been closely watching a system brewing up near Alaska (seen on the satellite loop below). This will bring us a brief chance for rain Sunday night.

Latest computer forecasts have this system clipping our area Sunday evening into Sunday night. The storm track isn't ideal, in fact, most energy will be focused east of our area. Also, moisture will be limited. Regardless, it's a potent system that will bring winds and a slight chance for rain, or even a brief thunderstorm (30% chance for rain). Afterwards, the rest of next workweek looks dry and warm.

I'll keep watching it and bring more updates if there are any changes to the forecast.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED MONDAY 9-23-2019

It's been awhile since I've updated this blog. Rain season has returned!

A small storm system is settling into the SW United States. You can spot it on the satellite image below. Most computer forecasts have this system drifting around our area for the next few days.

It will be close enough to Southern California to bring a chance for a few showers and isolated downpours on Wednesday and Thursday. The atmosphere will be unstable enough to support thunderstorms as well.

The rain chance diminishes by Friday. We have a cold front headed this way for Sunday into the start of the next workweek. This will bring in more fall-like weather.
