622 FNUS56 KLOX 102149 FWFLOX Fire Weather Planning Forecast For Southwestern California National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 249 PM PDT Mon Mar 10 2025 ...PERIODS OF RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... ...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY FOR MANY AREAS SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION, MAINLY FOCUSED ON RECENT BURN SCARS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR DEBRIS FLOWS... .DISCUSSION... Dry weather today, then a cold upper level low pressure system will likely bring some rain to areas south of Point Conception on Tuesday, especially in Los Angeles county where there will also be a 5-10 percent chance of thunderstorms. Most areas are expected to see less than 0.50 inches of rain, however there could be isolated higher amounts near heavier showers or thunderstorms in Los Angeles County. Peak rainfall rates could be up to 0.33 inches per hour across Los Angeles County. Due to the fast moving nature of these storms, 0.33 inches may occur in time frames as little as 15 to 30 minutes. A stronger storm system is then expected to impact the region Wednesday into Thursday. On Wednesday, there will likely be light to moderate pre-frontal rainfall, heaviest in orographically favored coastal slopes and foothills. A fast moving and strong cold front will then sweep across the region on Wednesday night, brining the potential for 3 to 4 hours of moderate to heavy rainfall and a 10-20 percent chance of thunderstorms. Behind the front, there will be cold and unstable air that will bring the threat of heavy showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms into Thursday morning. Storm totals for Wednesday into Thursday are expected to range from 1 to 2 inches for coasts and valleys, and 2 to 4 inches for foothills and mountains. Peak rainfall rates are most likely expected to impact the region on Wednesday night, when peak rates of 0.50 to 0.75 inches per hour will be common. There is a 10-20 percent chance of rates locally reaching 1.00 inch per hour, mainly near any thunderstorms pr orographically favored coastal slopes. This threat of higher intensity rainfall has resulted in the Flood Watch issuance for many areas south of Point Conception, mainly focused on recent burn scars. In addition, the high intensity rainfall could bring rock and mudslides, especially near higher terrain, roadway flooding, and swift water rescues in rivers and streams. In addition, there will likely be significant snow across the local mountains for the Wednesday into Thursday storm system, with 1 to 2 feet of snow likely for elevations above 6000 feet. Snow levels are expected to lower rapidly late Wednesday night into Thursday morning , falling as low as 3000 feet. As a result, there is the potential for accumulating snow and ice on low elevation passes such as Interstate 5 near the Grapevine, Highway 14 from Agua Dulce to Palmdale, Highway 33 north of Ojai, and upper portions of Highway 154 through Santa Barbara County.
