[evangilder]

SoCal is bracing for a huge storm:

* Strong thunderstorms possible today into tonight
-- Some of tstorms may contain...
- Small hail
- Wind gusts over 50 mph
- Torrential downpours
- Isolated weak tornadoes

* Rainfall Totals this week of 4-8" coast/valleys and 8-16" favored
SSW-facing coastal mountain slopes with local 20+" amounts
possible, even the deserts may recieve 1.5 to 4".

* Snow levels fluctuate from 3,500 feet to 6,000 feet rest of the
week.

* Snow Totals several feet possible.
- Avalanche potential below steeper slopes

* Debris flows possible for recent burn areas
- Focus will be on thunderstorm activity

* Small stream and urban flooding likely

* Waterspouts possible in coastal waters this evening.

* Large westerly swell through at least Friday.
- Coastal Flooding possible (west-facing beaches)

NWS is indicating this will likely be the wettest week since early 2005
and fairly similar to the first week in February 1998.

This one looks really big and the potential for flooding and debris flows is huge.
