  .SYNOPSIS... 
  Low pressure will move down the California coast today and into 
  Southern California Wednesday and Thursday. Unsettled and cool 
  weather will continue with lower elevation rain and mountain snow 
  for especially southern parts of the region.  
   
  && 
   
  .DISCUSSION...Strong cyclonic flow and difluence aloft continue  
  this morning over the Central California Interior as low pressure  
  spins about 200 miles west of the Central Coast. Water vapor  
  imagery shows several embedded vorticity centers (or areas of  
  spine within the overall spin) rotating around the low center. As  
  the parent low center slowly moves to the south the flow into the  
  forecast area is beginning to shift from the southwest to the  
  south.  
   
  So how does the pattern evolve? For today with forecast models 
  bringing the center of the big offshore low to a location about 
  200 miles west of Point Conception the flow into the region will 
  shift to the south by later this afternoon and this will push 
  moisture northward into Kern County. During the evening and into 
  tonight the low is projected to move to the east with the center 
  position just south of the Channel Islands by Wednesday morning  
  and the resulting flow becoming southeast. Taking things into  
  Wednesday afternoon, models move the center of the low east into  
  San Bernardino County and this will allow the moist flow to turn  
  to the east over Kern County and the Southern Sierra. This south  
  to southeast to east flow pattern is ideal for precipitation in  
  the Southern Sierra and Kern County areas.  
   
  Model projected precipitation suggests a good long lasting  
  soaking rain for the lower elevations and significant snow above  
  5500 feet in the mountains. A Winter Storm Warning has been issued 
  for the Sierra from Sequoia Park southward across the Piutes,  
  Tehachapi and San Emigdio ranges from late this afternoon through  
  Wednesday evening where heavy snow is likely. Snow levels will  
  likely stay above pass level on the Grapevine and Tehachapi  
  Passes, however Walker Pass could receive up to several inches of  
  wet snow by Wednesday night as well as Pine Mountain Club and 
  areas just above Frazier Park. Upper Bear Valley Springs should 
  get some snow too.  
   
  Since this low pressure system is a "cutoff" low (meaning 
  separated from the jet stream and steering currents) it will only 
  slowly move east on Thursday to the Lake Mead vicinity thus some 
  northeast flow wrap around showers will persist over the Sierra 
  and Kern County mountain and desert areas. By Thursday night and 
  Friday the low is progged to sag into southwest Arizona and the 
  Central California Interior will be precipitation free in the dry 
  northerly flow behind the low. All in all a good precipitation 
  event to continue, this time for the south.
