Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA deep, cold trough, associated with its parent upper-level low in the Pacific Northwest, swung through southern California on the 27th, providing the CWA with widespread moderate to locally heavy rainfall and heavy mountain snow. The dynamics were also such that thunderstorms, some with up to pea-sized hail, were also observed. The trajectory of this storm system brought the brunt of the storm through San Diego county providing areas below the snow level and west of the mountains with one-third of an inch to slightly over one inch of rain. Some minor flooding was observed in San Diego County. Orange County and the Inland Empire received less rain, coming in with amounts up to three-quarters of an inch. The snow level was very low with this cold storm, dropping to between 2000 and 2500 feet late in the day. From this level to around 3000 feet had a trace to 3 inches, 3 to 10 inches up to around 7000 feet and up to 14 inches above 7000 feet. Several vehicles slid off the roads in the San Diego County Mountains as well, though no serious injuries were reported. On the lower end of elevation, snow fell as low as 1800 feet in Ramona, however the inch of snow melted later that night. Strong, gusty winds also accompanied this system, most notably in the San Diego County Mountains and the Coachella Valley. San Diego Gas and Electric reported major impacts with this system, including rime ice accumulations on power lines and structures up to a few inches thick.
