The following events were reported: Flood, Thunderstorm Wind. These occurred near station USW00023188, approximately 16.6683 km away, between 2014-02-28 09:00:00 and 2014-02-28 18:00:00. The flood was caused by Heavy Rain. Thankfully, no injuries or fatalities were reported. The events caused property damage valued at 31000.0 and crop damage of 0.0. Episode Narrative: A weak, upper-level trough moved through California overnight on February 26th, into the morning of the 27th, increasing gusty west winds and bringing a round of light to moderate showers over and west of the mountains. A much stronger, Pacific low pressure system took aim at southern California late on the 27th, bringing periods of heavy rain and high-elevation mountain snow through the 28th (with additional heavy rain through March 1). Most of the upslope rain and convective showers occurred on the 28th. Strong, long-duration upslope flow enhanced rainfall on southwest-facing coastal slopes. The four-day, storm total precipitation amounts were significant. Costal locations ranged from 1 to 3 inches of rain, with the valleys recording up to 4.5 inches toward the coastal slopes. Mountain locations varied widely depending on slope aspect, but most recorded between 3 and 8 inches of rain. The upper deserts recorded between one-tenth and one-half inch, while the lower deserts measured generally less than one-tenth of an inch. The notable exceptions were Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs in the Coachella Valley and San Felipe in San Diego County, all of which measured between one-half of an inch and one inch. The big rainfall winners were along the southern slopes of the San Bernardino County mountains, with Yucaipa Ridge coming in at 11.11 inches, Lytle Creek with 9.67 inches and Cedar Glen with 9.10 inches. The snow level remained fairly high, around 6000 feet. Most locations saw between 2 and 7 inches of snow, with Big Bear Lake and Onyx Peak recording 9 to 10 inches. The significant rainfall in a relatively short period of time resulted in numerous instances of urban and flash flooding with mud/debris flows, causing numerous road closures and swift water rescues in and around the urban areas of Orange, (Anaheim), San Diego (Escondido and Fashion Valley), and Riverside (Fallbrook to Lake Elsinore) counties. The most significant of these was the mud slides and subsequent road closure of Highway 74 (Ortega Highway) stemming from the Falls Fire burn scar. Many road closures also occurred in the Coachella Valley as a result of heavy rainfall over the headwaters of the Whitewater River, flowing down the valley through the storm channel. Area rivers saw rises of 2 to 5 feet, in some instances within 12 hours. A 10 to 15-foot-tall and eight-foot-wide section of the quarter-mile levee protecting Buckwheat Road from Sheep Creek failed, threatening 8 homes with flood waters. Westerly winds with this system were significant as well, topping numerous large trees and power poles, as well as damage at John Wayne Airport. A report of a 102 mph wind gust came from the Bear Mountain ski resort weather equipment on the 28th. Conditions support this gust, however, no damage was reported. Thunderstorms on the 28th also produced gusty winds, downing several trees and damaging power lines and other structures. A weak, upper-level trough moved through California overnight on February 26th, into the morning of the 27th, increasing gusty west winds and bringing a round of light to moderate showers over and west of the mountains. Event Narrative: CHP reported road closed at Huffstatler Road and Old 395 at 5th Street due to flooding. A spotter reported a debris flow at Woods Valley Road and Wolford Road with six inch rocks. A county official reported water flowing over Country Club Drive in west Escondido where the road goes into Escondido Creek. An NWS employee reported 7 inches of standing water at the intersection of Ingraham Street and La Playa Avenue in Pacific Beach. Local tv news showed footage of water running across Quarry Road in Spring Valley. NBC media showed video of 6 inches deep of flowing water on Dairy Mart Road in Imperial Beach. This area drains from the Tijuana River. Fox 5 news reported a large tree down in Ocean Beach. San Diego Lindbergh ASOS had a gust of 45 mph at the time. This storm was on the southern end of a squall line (no lightning detected), so possible wet microburst mixing down 50 mph winds at 1 to 2 kft. The same news station reported a 50-year-old tree downed by high winds near downtown San Diego around the same time. Several other trees were downed in the area with this line as well. CBS8 had video of a large tree down on the Cadillac dealership in Kearny Mesa. Nearby mesonet stations showed gusts 45 to 50 mph from 1300-1630 PST. ABC news 10 reported straight line winds estimated at 60 mph, which brought down a large tree onto a condominium in Chula Vista. A nearby mesonet station at Coronado Cays recorded a wind gust of 58 mph, though radar showed an intense line segment overhead to support a wet microburst of stronger winds aloft.
