Dry conditions with light afternoon breezes continue through
Tuesday. Then, an impactful storm system brings widespread wetting
rains and breezy winds to the district starting Tuesday  night into
Thursday. Wind gusts on Wednesday could reach 35 to 40  miles per
hour on the ridgelines and at the immediate coast.  Additional
rainstorms are expected Friday into the upcoming  weekend.

Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified.
Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds.

...POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
INTO EARLY THURSDAY BRINGING THREAT OF DEBRIS FLOWS IN RECENT BURN
SCARS...

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. 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 cold front will then
sweep across the region on Wednesday night, brining the potential
for 3 to 4 hours of moderate to heavy rainfall. 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, and could exceed
0.50 inches per hour. As a result, there is a 30-50 percent chance
of shallow debris flows for the recent burn scars, with a
10-30 percent chance of a more significant warning level debris
flow.

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.
