The system is well southwest of the forecast area. This means that northeast flow is pulling into it and while the north/northeast/east sections of the Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside County Mountains will have some snow, the main concern is the strong winds below the passes and canyons. The wind model remains the same as the previous update and those images will be put below this article for you.
As for the Wednesday event. There will be a storm system that slides to the north and east of the forecast area on Wednesday. A powerful northwest flow with it will bring a High Wind Watch issuance criteria for the Kern/Ventura/Santa Barbara County Mountains, which will include the Gorman Pass region so this alert is going to go out soon.
The January 2020 forecast will be released in the next day or two. Preliminary estimations are that temperatures will be colder than average for most of the month with a mix of average in there. My rainfall forecast called for 9-13″ of rain for Downtown Los Angeles for the season and so far we are at 7.00″ of rain. For January 1st that is about on track to normal… but January could be drier than normal and my rain forecast will look to come more true. I’m not a least bit afraid I know January or February will be drier than normal… I do not think we will see both months above average. So far the season is going to the October video release for the season forecast (Click Here To View It)
