Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper-level trough developed along the West Coast, deepening into a strong low over southern California on the 16th, bringing scattered light rain/snow showers. A couple thunderstorms produced one-quarter inch sized hail near Lake Arrowhead (accumulated to around a half-inch depth) and Running Springs in the San Bernardino mountains. Rainfall totals were mostly one-third of an inch or less, with up to one-half of an inch in the mountains, again, highest amounts in San Diego County. The snow level was around 5500 to 6000 feet, with enough moisture to produce around 4 inches of snow in the Big Bear area, with a rain/melted snow total of 1.5 inches. No flooding reported. This system did produce strong and gusty westerly winds with several trees down in San Diego County and power poles down in Orange County, resulting in power outages for several thousand customers. The strong winds brought a large swell and high surf to the Orange and San Diego County coasts as well. The coastal waters experienced low-end gale force winds during this event, with the San Clemente Basin buoy reporting winds gusting from 35 to 41 kt between 1050 pm on the 15th through 950 am on the 16th, and wave heights peaking at 18 feet.
