Winter Storm Warning

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Issued Zones:  Kern Mountains (Gorman Pass to PMC) above 2,500 FT

Site:  Southern California Weather Force has issued a Winter Storm Warning effective now for Friday into Saturday, peaking overnight Friday …

Date:  1/18/18 at 9:45am PT

Forecast: Snow will start to fall across the Gorman to Frazier/Cuddy/PMC areas by later Friday morning with a snow level starting right on the Gorman Pass.  By evening we should be having a dusting of snow up there, as high as 1″.  However that isn’t the focus of this warning. 

The focus will be on Friday night with the strong northwest flow that will bunch the dynamics against the mountains there and squeeze out every single bit of moisture like ringing out a wet sponge.  With the snow level below 3,000 FT during that time-frame, snowfall ratios will be high above 4,000 and 5,000 FT and thus the snow will pile fast. 

SCWF model projections in the member section shows 6-10″ of snow in Gorman and Frazier Park with 9-13″ for Pine Mountain Club.  Gorman Pass is likely to close overnight on Friday if my projection remains, which confidence is high that it will, hence my final warning product. 

Sleet is possible down to 1,000 FT on the Kern County side of the base of the pass.
