Strong atmospheric river system to affect the region through this week. Persistent rainfall will spread across the Bay Area and Central Coast this evening, lasting into Tuesday afternoon. This rainfall could be heavy at times, especially Tuesday morning. Rounds of high winds also likely Monday night and early Tuesday afternoon as the fronts move through. Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified. Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds. ...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard... ...TWO STORM SYSTEMS THIS WEEK WITH GENERALLY BENEFICIAL RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS... ...DRY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY... The first storm system will pass through the region by Wednesday afternoon. For San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties, rain totals of 0.75 to 1.50 inches will be common, with 1.5 to 3.0 inches in the foothills and mountains. Northwest San Luis Obispo County will likely see much higher totals. Peak rain rates should range between 0.25 to 0.50 inches per hour, with local rates of 0.50 to 0.75 inches per hour. For Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, totals of 0.25 to 0.75 inches will be common, with 0.75 to 1.50 inches in the favored hills including the Palisades and Eaton burn scars. Peak rates of 0.10 to 0.25 inches per hour will be common, with local rates of 0.25 to 0.50 inches per hour. Thunderstorm chances are very small. Snow levels are very high. Impacts should be generally minimal, but there will be a few potential problem areas. There is a low but present risk of small creek flooding in and downstream of the Santa Lucias. Vulnerable canyon roads like Topanga Canyon will likely see mud and debris flows. South to southwest wind gusts of 25 to 45 mph will be common over the mountains, interior, and Central Coast through tonight, with local gusts of 50 to 60 mph. After a break Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning, a second storm will move through Thursday Night into Friday. This storm will be the weakest of the two, and bring more uniform rain over the region. Totals will generally fall between 0.25 and 1.00 inches, except 1 to 2 inches over the favored mountains and hills. Impacts will again be generally minor. Winds will quickly turn northwesterly Friday afternoon, then turn north to northeasterly Friday Night through Monday. Gusts of 30 to 50 mph are likely in the wind favored areas like the I-5 Corridor, the Santa Monica Mountains, much of Santa Barbara County, and the Santa Lucia Range. Areas less prone to these winds, like the San Gabriel Valley, should not see significant winds. Humidities will lower quickly as well, with minimums falling into the 10 to 20 percent range by Sunday, especially in the mountains. While the combination of winds and humidities may approach brief critical conditions, the very recent rains should limit any fire weather danger. Please note: the LAL has been removed nationally and any thunderstorm chances will still be mentioned in the weather element. $$ ECC028-051100- Santa Barbara County excluding Los Padres National Forest- Discussion for Santa Barbara ECC Dispatch 858 AM PST Tue Feb 4 2025 ...TWO STORM SYSTEMS THIS WEEK WITH GENERALLY BENEFICIAL RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS... ...DRY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
