Carefully looking over the track of both Hurricane Lorena and Mario over the last 24 hours is leading me to go with the original forecast assessment of wrap-around into the Eastern forecast area, including all of Arizona by this next week. The cutoff low that will be responsible for the storm activity there has not been too consistent, but I did decide on the final path of it and that is into the Colorado River Valley, cutting off in Arizona. This cutoff will allow wrap-around moisture to make it through the Colorado River Valley, but NOT affect the metros south and west of the local mountains. Your turn is coming very soon.

As this is making Arizona have storm activity with flooding as well, here in Southern California around Tuesday we will receive the back-side northeast flow and that means a Santa Ana Wind Pattern will show up. I will get the Santa Ana Wind alerts out in the next day if trends continue to go that way but you heard it here that they are pending.
Now, south and west of the mountains means Bakersfield, San Luis Obispo, Vandenberg, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and the Inland Empire areas. A very large long wave trough will set over the West Coast of California after the 26th and this will bring in several impulses that will make it very likely that a good amount of rainfall for this time of year will hit. Of course troughs like this means a southwesterly flow so if we are talking about any mudslide debris flows we will see the heaviest rainfall in the Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles County areas, with rain still for Orange/Inland Empire and the least in the San Diego/Vandenberg/San Luis Obispo/Kern areas. It is pretty typical for a southwest flow, however we are very early on in the season to even be seeing a trough like this so it is quite exciting from a scientific standpoint.
A mean average of my calculations says Ontario International Airport could see 0.75″ of rainfall before the month is over so even a bit less or a bit more is likely. It is safe to say that we will see our first metro rainfall south and west of the mountains before this month is over. This does bode well with my September forecast stating that after the 20th to end month will be our time to ‘shine’.
