..A PACIFIC STORM WILL AFFECT EXTREME SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LATE
TUESDAY INTO FRIDAY...

A DEVELOPING STORM...CURRENTLY CENTERED ABOUT 850 MILES WEST OF 
SAN DIEGO...WILL BRING LIGHT RAIN TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LATE TUESDAY.
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN SHOULD DEVELOP WEDNESDAY...MAINLY LATE IN THE
DAY...AND CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY. SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO FRIDAY AS
THE STORM SLOWLY MOVES EAST. PEOPLE SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THIS
POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN THAT WILL MAKE ROADS SLICK. DO NOT DRIVE

THE EXACT TIMING OF RAIN AND RAINFALL TOTALS IS STILL UNCERTAIN.
PRELIMINARY RAINFALL ESTIMATES FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY ARE FOR
ABOUT 1 TO 2 INCHES WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS...2 TO 4 INCHES IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND LESS THAN 1 INCH IN THE DESERTS. THE GROUND IS DRY SO
IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME FOR RUNOFF TO DEVELOP. HOWEVER...IF THESE LARGE
RAINFALL TOTALS MATERIALIZE THEN THERE COULD EVENTUALLY BE SOME
FLOODING OF POORLY DRAINED LOW LYING AREAS AND SMALL STREAMS. THERE
COULD ALSO BE MUD SLIDES...ESPECIALLY IN THE RECENTLY BURNED AREAS. 

THIS IS A WARM STORM AND THE SNOW LEVEL WILL REMAIN HIGH...INITIALLY
ABOVE 9000 FT AND GRADUALLY LOWERING TO NEAR 7000 FT BY FRIDAY. THE
RAIN WILL TURN TO SHOWERS LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND GRADUALLY TAPER
OFF.
