.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...
Today is expected to be 3 to 7 degrees warmer than yesterday for
inland locations, with no change or a degree or two of cooling along
the coast. A trough of low pressure is expected to move into
California on Friday and east into Nevada on Saturday. This will
bring 3 to 5 degrees of cooling to inland areas on Friday, with an
increase in winds for the mountains and deserts. Wind gusts are
expected to peak at 35 to 45 mph Friday afternoon and evening.
Additionally, with the increase in onshore flow the marine layer is
expected to deepen. Areas of low clouds are expected to reach into
the valleys for tonight into Friday morning.
As the upper level low moves over Nevada Saturday, the overall flow
will quickly switch to offshore by early Saturday morning. The
north/northeasterly winds associated with the offshore flow are
expected to be fairly weak and localized to the San Bernardino and
Santa Ana coastal mountain slopes. While the marine layer will still
be fairly deep, any low clouds that develop Friday night into
Saturday are expected to clear fairly quickly in the Inland Empire
and Orange County. Highs on Saturday are expected to be a few
degrees warmer than Friday west of the mountains, likely due to the
weak offshore flow. Temperatures in the deserts will continue to
cool a few degrees into Saturday.
A broad trough of low pressure will set up over the western United
States on Sunday. This will result in a few degrees of cooling west
of the mountains, with additional cooling expected into Monday for
most locations. For next Tuesday and Wednesday, the pattern becomes
a little more uncertain with ensemble guidance struggling to pin
down the amplitude and position of the aforementioned trough. The
solution with a weaker and deeper trough over California would
continue the cooler conditions while the solution with the trough to
our east with weak ridging over California would bring slightly
warmer conditions. Current forecast follows the NBM which leans
towards the warmer solutions for next Tuesday and Wednesday.
