Weather update: One more Southwest storm, then a pattern change

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on February 9, 2010 at 8:09 am

From Accu-Weather’s Western Weather Blog:

“An upper level trough off the Northwest Coast Monday afternoon will drop south Monday night. It will pinch off into a cold core upper level low off the Northern California Coast Tuesday morning. The rest of Tuesday and Tuesday night it continues to drop south near the coast before moving inland into San Diego County by Wednesday morning.

This is a far different storm than we have seen affecting the Southwest States over the past few weeks. This is not making its trek across the Pacific picking up a lot of moisture along its way. Instead it is starting with limited moisture and will rely on its cold core nature, and what moisture it can pick up as it moves south, to cause precipitation. There indeed could be a narrow band of precipitation develop Monday along a forming cold front that causes a period of rain in spots. But mostly this storm will be remembered as producing showers and in spots thunderstorms. For my Northwest folks this again is another storm that will for the most part miss doing anything important to your area. But keep reading for your turn will come later on. … “
