heavy precipitation and mountain snow on Monday, followed by scattered showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms Monday evening into early Tuesday morning. Light showers continue Tuesday, then another short wave will produce more organized precipitation with lower snow levels on Wednesday. Additional light showers are possible Thursday into early Friday. Precipitation chances are currently below 15% for Friday and Saturday, but there is the potential for light showers at times. Peak hourly rainfall rates during the frontal passage on Monday will range from 0.40-0.70" per hour. Current forecast rainfall totals for Monday and Tuesday will be 0.80- 1.50" for the coast and valleys, 1-3.5" for the mountains, 0.20-1.00" for the High Desert, and 0.10-0.50" for the low deserts, locally up to 1" near the San Gorgonio Pass in the far northern Coachella Valley. Much of this rain will fall on Monday, with light to locally moderate showers possible on Tuesday. A Slight Risk of excessive rainfall is forecast for Orange County into the lower slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains on Monday. If higher end rainfall amounts materialize across the northern Coachella Valley, increased flows on the Whitewater River could cause flooding concerns at some of the low water crossings. Latest river forecast ensembles have around a 22% chance of the San Diego River reaching Monitor Stage on Monday and Wednesday. Snow levels at the onset of precipitation are currently forecast around 6500-7000 ft for the San Bernardino Mountains and increasing to around 7500-800 ft in San Diego County. This will reduce the flash flood threat on upper portions of the burn scars. The snow level falls to around 4500-5500 ft Monday night as precipitation turns lighter and more showery. For the first round of snow Monday and Tuesday, 5-12 inches expected at 5500-6500 ft, 12-18 inches expected at 6500-8000 ft, and up to 33 inches above 8000 ft. For the 48 hour period of 4 AM Wednesday to 4 AM Friday, the NBM has a 30-50% chance of 0.50" or more for the coasts and valleys, a 40-70% chance in the mountains, and a 5-10% chance in the deserts. For this same time period, there is around a 25% chance of at least 6" of snow at the 5500 ft level, increasing to around a 40% chance at 7000 ft. Chances of accumulating snow (0.1" or more) are around 50% through the Cajon Pass and along higher portions of I-8 near Sunrise Hwy and Tecate Divide. $$
