At 600 AM PST...A low pressure center was analyzed over central
California with a minimum central pressure of 1005 mb (29.68 in of
Hg). An occluded boundary extended southeast from the low to a
triple point in southern California. From the triple point a cold
front stretched southwestward through the Los Angeles and San
Diego Metro areas into the Pacific, while a warm front extended to
the southeast across southern California and Nevada. Latest RADAR
and surface observations depicted moisture continuing to stream
onshore ahead of and along the cold front, with numerous reports
of heavy precipitation across southern California. Heavy snowfall
remained confined to higher elevations of above 5000 ft throughout
the Transverse and southern Sierra Nevada ranges, with snow levels
expected to drop this morning in the wake of the cold front
passage, while lower elevations along an axis stretching from San
Diego northward through the Los Angeles Metro area continued to
experience moderate to heavy rainfall. In addition to
precipitation, strong wind gusts continued to be reported across
the region.
