.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...

A cutoff low continues to tumble closer to the California coast
today, bringing a deep marine layer, cooler weather and increased
winds across the mountains and deserts. Winds are currently near
20-35 MPH across these regions and will increase this afternoon
into the evening closer to 35-45 MPH. Winds look to continue to be
gusty into the night with slightly higher winds by Monday
afternoon and evening, where gusts will locally reach above 55 MPH
in some mountain passes in the Riverside and San Diego Counties.
High profile vehicles will see increased risk of incidents in
windy conditions and blowing sand/dust.

The marine layer is around 5,000 feet thick, covering much of the
coastal basin and even reaching into the top of the Cajon Pass.
Clouds will partially clear areas this afternoon, but other areas
will remain under the clouds throughout the day as the low clouds
resurges back inland by later this afternoon/evening. Just like
this morning, areas near the coast may see some marine layer
drizzle/light showers overnight into Monday monday morning as the
marine layer remains quite saturated. The area of low pressure
will move closer to the region by Monday into Tuesday, bringing an
increased chance of light showers from the coast to the mountains.
Hi-res models are in pretty fair agreement on the timing of the
light showers to begin around Monday evening, becoming more
widespread overnight into Tuesday morning. Areas of San Diego
County have the best chance to see rainfall. The showers will be
scattered in nature, with some areas seeing over a quarter of an
inch and others minimal totals to none. The core of low pressure
system moves to the east later on Tuesday, where residual showers
may linger across the mountains into the afternoon with partial
clearing closer to the coast.

This system will also bring much cooler weather. Monday and
Tuesday will be the coolest days of the upcoming week with
highs only reaching the 40s to near 50 degrees in the mountains
and highs in the 60s for areas west of the mountains into the
high desert. Comfortable 70s will take hold across the Anza
Borrego desert into the Palm Springs area.
