Northwest winds will strengthen this morning and peak late this afternoon through early Saturday, when stronger winds and higher seas will generate hazardous boating conditions today through early Saturday, especially beyond 15 nautical miles offshore. Gale force winds are possible at times tonight near san clemente island. Weaker onshore flow and an occasional eddy circulation will follow for Saturday through Monday.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 833 AM PDT Fri Apr 26 2024

SYNOPSIS
It will be cool and windy today and tonight, with some light showers mainly in San Diego County and in foothills of mountains.
There is also a small chance of thunderstorms in the higher mountains and adjacent areas late afternoon and evening. Fair weather will return Saturday with higher pressure aloft. The marine layer will continue to furnish low clouds near the coast each night and morning. Some cooling, some extension of the marine layer clouds, and stronger onshore winds in mountains and deserts are likely late next week.

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

Light showers and pockets of drizzle continue this morning mainly in foothills and in San Diego County. Meanwhile, strong westerly winds continue in the lee slopes of mountains into the deserts with isolated gusts over 50 mph around San Gorgonio Pass. A vigorous shortwave of low pressure will shoot through interior SoCal today and tonight. This will continue to force strong winds in the mountains and deserts, but also boost coastal winds this afternoon. Isolated to scattered light showers or drizzle 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 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 at least several days of fair and warmer weather next week. High temperatures Monday through Thursday will achieve 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. There is uncertainty in the upper air pattern for later next week, whether we'll have a weak trough or a weak ridge pattern. A narrow majority of ensemble members lean toward a weak trough pattern, which would increase winds in mountains and deserts, deepen the marine layer and bring slightly cooler weather late next week.
