southwestern California early this morning with rainfall at
offshore islands up to 0.20 inch per hour. Colder mid level air
with the upper center of the low pressure center will move across
the area during the late afternoon and early evening increasing
the instability with a slight chance of thunderstorms in addition
to scattered showers with the greatest chances for thunder across
San Diego County.

Through tonight, rainfall and liquid-equivalent above the snow
level is expected to range from one-third to two-thirds of an inch
from the coast to the mountains with local amounts exceeding one
inch in the mountains. A snow level near 4500 feet will rise to
6500 feet this afternoon and remain near 6500 feet through
tonight with snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches expected above
6500 feet with locally 6 to 10 inches above 8500 feet.

A second low pressure system is expected to move through southern
California on Wednesday and Thursday. Lighter precipitation will
develop on Wednesday with the with the most likely time for more
widespread and heavier precipitation with the cold front for late
Wednesday night into Thursday morning. For Wednesday through early
Friday, rainfall could range from around one inch near the coast
to 2 to 3 inches in the mountains with local amounts to around 4
inches for the coastal slopes of the San Bernardino County
mountains.

For the eastern San Gabriel Mountains for Wednesday morning
through Thursday night, there is around an 80 percent chance for
local rainfall and liquid-equivalent of 3 inches or more and a 20
percent chance for rainfall and liquid-equivalent of 5 inches or
