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

At 1 PM, a few areas of low clouds were lingering along the San
Diego coast. Elsewhere, it`s mostly sunny with areas of high clouds
moving east towards the deserts. A series of passing troughs this
week will maintain onshore flow across the region. This will cause
the marine layer to deepen through the week reaching the western
valleys by tomorrow and filling in much of the coastal basin by
Wednesday. In addition, elevated sea breeze winds can be expected
most afternoons and evenings for the mountains, deserts, and passes.

A cooling trend for the coast and valleys will continue through
Saturday. The mountains and deserts will warm a few degrees
tomorrow, before a cooling trend sets in through Saturday. For early
next week, high pressure will begin to strengthen off the West Coast
with warming for southern California.

There remains uncertainty in the upper level pattern for Friday
through the weekend. While there is high confidence the pattern will
remain troughy through at least Saturday, there are multiple
ensemble solutions regarding the placement of the passing trough.
Solutions with more influence from the ECMWF show the trough digging
further south which would result in cooler and windier conditions
for Southern California with the potential for marine layer drizzle.
Solutions that have more influence from the Canadian and GFS keep
the low further north, which would result in less influence on the
weather in Southern California overall. NBM chances for wind gusts
exceeding 40 mph Saturday evening are 15 to 25 percent for the
deserts, with chances increasing to 60 to 70 percent through the
passes and locally on desert mountain slopes.
