.SYNOPSIS...
Above average temperatures will continue for inland areas through
Wednesday with a gradual cooling expected Thursday through Saturday.
A warming trend will return for early next week. Breezy westerly
winds expected on the desert mountain slopes into the deserts each
afternoon/early evening through this weekend. Night and morning
coastal low clouds will spread farther into the western valleys late
each night for Friday into the weekend as the marine layer
deepens.

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

Areas of moderate to major HeatRisk will continue for the deserts,
with areas of moderate HeatRisk for the mountains. Highs in the
mountains and deserts today will run 5 to 10 degrees above
average for this time of year. West of the mountains, marine layer
low clouds and fog had made it into the western valleys. The
marine layer influence should help moderate temperatures for
Orange County and portions of the San Diego valleys today. At 830
AM, low clouds were starting to very slowly clear from the
valleys. Patches of low clouds may linger along the immediate
coast into the afternoon hours today.

A few degrees of cooling is expected on Wednesday for the mountains
and deserts with more widespread cooling into Thursday as an upper
level trough settles over the West Coast. The trough is expected to
remain in place into early next week. This will result in below
average temperatures for the end of the week along with breezy
westerly winds on the desert mountain slopes into the deserts and
a deeper marine layer.

Early next week the ridge of high pressure to our east may begin to
strengthen and move back towards Southern California. That will
bring another round of warming conditions Sunday through Tuesday.
There remains some uncertainty in the position of the ridge as it
settles over the desert southwest. The overall position of the ridge
will determine how hot it will get and if any monsoonal moisture
will be allowed in our area. Latest ensemble guidance does not have
any precipitable water increases or notable precipitation chances
until at least the end of next week.
