Synopsis for the far southern california coast - At 2 am, a 999 mb low was over southern utah and a 1031 mb high was about 1,590 miles west of san diego. Strong northwest winds and higher seas will generate hazardous boating conditions through this morning, especially beyond 15 nautical miles offshore. Gale force winds are possible at times near san clemente island. Weaker onshore flow and an occasional eddy circulation will follow for later today through Monday.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 930 PM PDT Fri Apr 26 2024

SYNOPSIS
Showers will gradually taper off by a little after midnight, with decreasing winds overnight. Fair weather will return Saturday with higher pressure aloft. The marine layer will continue to bring at least some low clouds near the coast each night and morning, with mostly seasonal temperatures next week.

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

Update...

So far no thunderstorms have formed, but some showers were occurring, especially in the foothills on the north and east sides of the Inland Empire. Only local rainfall over 1/10" has occurred late this afternoon and this evening. The trough axis will move through in the next few hours, with precipitation ending after the passage of the axis a little after midnight. Otherwise, mostly clouds skies will continue through early Saturday, with HRRR/HRRR showing good clearing over the region during the day Saturday and low clouds being rather patchy Saturday night near the coast.
Regarding the winds, the high-res models/LAMP/NBM MOS suggest a gradual decrease in the winds overnight, allowing for an 11 PM expiration of the wind advisory, though some breezy conditions will continue in some mountain/desert areas Saturday afternoon/evening with a few gusts over 40 MPH. Fair warmer weather will prevail early next week.

Previous discussion...

The murky cloudiness and drizzle from this morning has lifted and busted up somewhat this afternoon, especially at the coast.
Strong westerly winds continue in the lee slopes of mountains into the deserts with isolated gusts over 60 mph around San Gorgonio Pass. A vigorous shortwave of low pressure will shoot through interior SoCal this evening. This will continue to force strong winds in the mountains and deserts, but also boost coastal winds this afternoon. Isolated to scattered light showers will continue, mainly in foothills today. As the wave axis moves through this afternoon and evening, it will bring colder air aloft, destabilizing the atmosphere especially in the interior. That's why there's a small chance of thunderstorms over the higher mountains in SBD and RIV Counties and adjacent valleys late this afternoon and evening. San Diego County valleys will get an enhanced chance of showers during this time. Showers and winds decrease overnight and all that's left by sunrise Saturday will be the clouds from mountains westward. Clearing out Saturday should get an early start in Orange County before the rest of the area clears out by late morning, although some cumulus clouds will form over the mountains. Weak high pressure aloft will bring fair and warmer weather next week. High temperatures all week will be near normal at the coast and slightly above normal inland. A coastal eddy and a persistent marine layer will contribute coastal clouds during the nights and mornings. While uncertainty continues in the upper air pattern next week, the range of outcomes is rather small. A weak ridge pattern will prevail. For now it looks like fair and truly spring-like weather, with seasonal temperatures and low clouds near the coast during nights and mornings.
