SYNOPSIS
A storm system and associated cold front will bring moderate to locally heavy rain to Southwest California late in the week. Depending on the timing of the storm, the event will begin Thursday into Thursday night and continue through late Friday. Increasing south winds are expected across much of the area ahead of the cold front, with strong south possible in the mountains. Moderate rainfall is expected with locally heavy rainfall possible for several hours as the frontal boundary crosses the area. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will also be possible. Cold air behind the front will lower temperatures and snow levels, with widespread highs in the lower 60s on Friday and snow level falling below 5000 feet by Friday evening. Large surf will begin to affect the Central Coast on Thursday, spreading southeast into the waters south of Point Conception by Friday. The high surf will likely persist through Saturday.
