Our next storm system is diving down the western coast of Canada. You can see its trajectory in the computer projected upper level wind animation below. The storm will slow down as it settles overhead here in Southern California on Monday.
Spotty light showers will develop on Sunday ahead of the storm. Then intermittent showers with embedded downpours will be possible through Monday with the storm overhead. Rain will exit the region Tuesday morning. I've posted computer projected rain totals below. Rain totals will range from 1-2" across the coast into the mountains.
Snow levels will also drop as colder air moves in with the storm. Here are the expected snow levels:
Sunday Morning: 8,000-9,000 feet
Sunday Afternoon: 4,500-5,500 feet
Monday Morning: 4,000-5,000 feet
Monday Afternoon: 4,000-5,000 feet
Tuesday Morning: 4,000-5,000 feet
I've included the computer projected snow totals below, which shows local mountains getting several inches of snow. Be sure to check with the San Diego National Weather Service for the latest in weather advisories and warnings. You can also visit CalTrans for the latest road conditions.
