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

This evening...The marine layer remains quite deep at about 3500
ft. Low clouds already cover San Diego County from the foothills
to the beaches and practically all of Orange County. Low clouds
are also creeping into southern parts of the IE. The saturated
layer remains thick and some locations are reporting drizzle.
These conditions are likely to persist into Saturday morning.

From previous discussion...
A closed upper low off the coast of central CA will likely remain
in that general location through Sunday, allowing the thermal
ridge axis to extend from WA through NV and into AZ. This will
position 850mb temps over coastal and inland areas Monday and
Tuesday around 22-24C while deserts will see 850 temps 25-27C.
This indicates surface highs may push well above 105F for the
Coachella Valley and San Diego deserts by Monday, currently
looking to peak on Tuesday with highs potentially at or near
108-110F. Elsewhere, temperatures will be above-normal, especially
for inland areas, with 92-96F for the Inland Empire early next
week. The ridge shifts eastward Wednesday, but zonal flow aloft
sets in, limiting the cooldown for the end of the week. At the
same time, multiple shortwaves pass across northern California and
Oregon through the end of the week, not expected to do much in
the way of precipitation but a slight uptick in wind is possible
for the far northern areas, especially the High Desert.

A deep low moves down from Alaska on Thursday, with troughing
setting in over the area early Friday and into the weekend. High
temperatures will continue to fall and the marine layer deepens,
returning the region to at or below normal temperatures likely by
Friday. Long-range models are pretty well aligned, with the low
persisting along the Canadian coastline, with cooler weather
potentially prevailing through mid June. Welcome back to June
Gloom!
