Mountain tstorms
(Towing Cumulus clouds - 10:50 am, May 18th, 2006)Like the past couple of afternoon... There will be a slight chance of afternoon and early evening thunderstorms over the mountains and high deserts on Friday.
But... unlike the past couple of days... the storms that develop Friday will primarly be in Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara county mountain areas and in the Antelope valley.

There's a major change late in the weekend... back to winter like weather.
A fairly strong upper level trough of low pressure (presently over the eastern Pacific) will move inland Sunday.
This system will bring widespread rain to the southland beginning Sunday afternoon and continue into Monday morning.
It's still up in the air how much precipitation will fall. But... the potential does exists for up to 1.00" over some coastal and valley locations. And as much as 1 to 3" possible along some coastal foothills and south-facing mountain slopes. There will also be risk of isolated thunderstorms with this system along with the likelyhood of gusty winds (especially at the time of the frontal passage).
Snow levels will lower over the mountains with the possibility of several inches of snow in some locations.
Further updates as needed!
