Good morning, everyone.
Thanks for being with us here
for CBS8 Plus extended forecast.
I'm Evan Nurani filling you in on everything
you need to know on this very wet windy
Wednesday that we've got out there.
Here is the view outside as we went into
the 9:00 o'clock hour this morning.
Very interesting sight out here because
we've got a mix of sun and clouds,
which is a rarity when we've got
these storms passing through.
The thing is this most recent storm,
this one two punch we've been talking about,
first wave is coming with a
lot more wind than rain.
And that's why with that
lack of moisture out there,
we've gotten some breaks in the clouds.
Keep in mind,
there's still the very good chance that
through the rest of the day we'll get
those quick moving downpours of rain.
We've also seen some grapple,
which is basically snow that's
falling that gets super cooled
with some rain droplets on.
It comes looking like hail
but as much softer.
You can just kind of squeeze
it and break it apart.
We've gotten a lot of pictures and
video submitted on a CBS8 app.
We love your viewer submission,
so if you have any pictures or
video of what the morning has
looked like in your neighborhood.
You can always submit those on
cbs.com and on the CBS8 app.
Sunrise 6:25 this morning.
Sunset's gonna come at 5:40 PM,
and it looks like this type of
view is going to stick around.
The thing that you can't really notice
in that shot is how windy it is.
Highwind warning along the coastline,
winter storm warning for your mountain tops.
But what's in between is a
winter weather advisory.
It is rare that we see a winter weather
advisory issued for your inland valleys,
but that is going to be in effect all
the way through 10:00 AM tomorrow.
And you could see across the deserts as well,
a highwind warning is in effect as well.
So this is all kind of plain the painting,
the picture you could say of the changes
that we've seen going into today.
Today is going to be a day filled with wind.
We've got the scattered precipitation
for the most part and then we'll
really start to see that precipitation
amp up as we go into Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.
Wind speeds are gonna die down
through the rest of the day.
So early this morning was mainly
wind related.
When we saw that wind pick up,
it peaked into early.
Wednesday morning,
it will die down by Wednesday night,
but we'll still see a breeze,
especially across the mountains and
deserts going through the rest of your day.
Here's the center of low pressure
right over the Great Basin.
We've got that counterclockwise
movement that you can make out
and you can especially make it out
along the California coastline.
We call this wrap around moisture
because it's wrapping around
the center of low pressure,
but again, still very light
because of its inland approach.
It's been over land for most of the time,
doesn't have any ocean water
say to pull it pull in.
More moisture,
we are going to see a change in
that that next through of low
pressure is going to tap into a lot
of that moisture over the water and
that's going to allow for heavier
precipitation going into Thursday night,
Friday night, Saturday night,
take a look, satellite radar imagery
so far has been decent in terms of
our mountain accumulations of snow.
We've seen snow up in Julianne,
Pine Valley grapple and other parts
of the county, Alpine for example.
Even Rancho Bernardo for example,
picked up on some of that rain,
snow mixture out there.
So we've still got activity
continuing along the coast.
Scattered showers,
not letting our guard down too much.
But we've stayed light in
terms of accumulations,
mostly around 1/10 of an inch or lighter.
These are numbers that are constantly being
updated by the National Weather Service.
But what is kind of a staple of
the day today is going to be wind.
So wind across the coastline,
toward your mountaintops,
toward your deserts.
Temperatures aren't going
to fluctuate all that much,
it looks like between now and the afternoon,
really.
We're gonna stay mainly in the low fifties.
We've been there for the
last couple hours really,
and we probably won't see
much of a differentiation.
Between our early morning temperatures
and our afternoon highs out there,
because this is cold Arctic
air moving in our direction.
So watch out for the wind.
Throughout the day we've seen downed trees,
downed power lines,
palm fronds scattered all across
the roads and that's going
to continue through the day.
But we've at least seen our peak in
terms of our wind gusts and we'll
start to see now that wind die down
through the rest of your Wednesday.
When we look at your rain and cloud forecast,
we've got a couple of things to know.
Fast forwarding between now and say 5:30,
we're still looking at
light scattered showers.
For the most part,
we're going to see things intensify.
Going into Thursday,
here's the overnight hours.
Research to see a little bit more yellow
and orange popping up here on the screen,
more snow off toward the mountain tops.
That snow level is at 2000
feet for your Wednesday,
but by the time we get into Thursday,
we're gonna climb up to
about 3500 feet or so.
Still low in terms of what
we would normally see,
but this is a pretty cold
storm that's coming our way.
So San Diego County mountains are virtually
guaranteed to see plenty of snow.
That's Palomar Mountain,
Mountain, Laguna for example.
It's areas like Julian and Alpine and.
Uh, Pine Valley,
for example,
where we rely heavily on those viewer
pictures and videos that are sent in.
So when we go through 9:30 AM on Thursday,
we've still got those scattered
showers for the morning commute,
afternoon and evening.
Looks like there's more scattered activity.
And then into Friday and Saturday,
we expect a more robust system to arrive.
So take a look.
This is that next through it's got the
ocean water that it's tapping into.
It starts to really pick up and
its intensity by the time we
get into Friday and Saturday,
Saturday at 10:00 AM, you've got the.
Darker green tones all over San
Diego County snow up around the
mountain tops and then this pushes
off to the east from there.
So that's when we see a little
bit of a break.
That break will only last from about Sunday
afternoon all the way through early Tuesday,
early Tuesday about noon,
you see more moisture starting
to hit San Diego County.
It's going to be about a 48
hour break that we'll get.
Temperatures this afternoon have
cooled down tremendously compared
to say where they were at this time
yesterday and compared to average,
we're gonna peak in the upper
40s and low 50s.
This afternoon looks like Poway could
get to 48 degrees and then no warmer.
That's the warmest they could
get for this afternoon.
Now of course,
these are just forecast models.
There's the chance that these
numbers fluctuate a bit,
but the general consensus is low
50s and upper 40s out there.
You screwed off toward the mountaintops,
Palomar mountains going to see 29
degrees as the warmest temperature
of the day,
34 and Julian 53 in Borrego Springs.
So across the mountains and deserts,
these temperatures have dropped by
about 20 degrees in a matter of 24 hours.
And then along the coast.
And about 10 degrees of change.
Let's look at the 8 day forecast.
Every day between now and Sunday
holds a decent opportunity for
Rain mountain snow out there,
again above 2000 feet but
climbing to about 3500.
We have that little bit of a dry
stretch from Sunday afternoon
through Monday and then Tuesday we'll
start to see more rain develop.
Temperatures are going to stay
consistently in the 50s out
there for the next 8 days or so.
There are even some days that
are expected to peak in the upper
40s across the mountains.
You got 30s out there,
even some 20s overnight, very cold.
Would snow building.
There are some forecast models that
put Palomar Mountain and Mount
Laguna at several feet of snow,
meaning 2-3 or so feet that will
accumulate between now and about Sunday.
So a lot of snow off toward our
San Diego County mountains,
a lot of snow up toward the area
ski resorts as well.
Then it looks like across the
deserts for the most part we're
going to be staying in the 50s.
Lightest accumulations there with
some breaks built in as well.
Friday for example,
it looks to be a little bit drier
than other parts of the county,
but it looks like for most of us
we can
expect that wind. Die down today,
rain to really pick up into the next
several days and then we'll see us
all dry out just a bit for Sunday and
Monday before more rain and mountain
snow comes for Tuesday and Wednesday.
We know this is a situation that is
constantly progressing, so we of course
appreciate you being with us here.
