[pct-l] Weather Advisory for Southern California

[Jim Keener ( J J )]

The last sentence is significant:

"...COLD STORM SYSTEM POSSIBLE FOR THE END OF THE WEEK...   A COLD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA...IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHWARD ALONG THE WEST COAST THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WHILE THERE ARE STILL SOME UNCERTAINTIES WITH THE TIMING...CURRENT TIMING WOULD HAVE IT CENTERED NEAR THE BAY AREA FRIDAY EVENING...THEN MOVING THROUGH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT.   IT IS EXPECTED TO BRING MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES...NUMEROUS SHOWERS...AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. SNOW LEVELS COULD BE QUITE LOW...POSSIBLY DOWN TO 2000 TO 2500 FEET OR LOCALLY LOWER IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. CURRENT TIMING WOULD HAVE NUMEROUS SHOWERS SPREADING INTO SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA FRIDAY NIGHT OR EARLY SATURDAY WITH SHOWERS DECREASING SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND GRADUALLY ENDING SATURDAY NIGHT. LOWEST SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT.   WITH SUCH LOW SNOW LEVELS POSSIBLE...THIS WEATHER COULD BE DEADLY FOR UNPREPARED CAMPERS OR HIKERS."

Walk well,
