SYNOPSIS
This weekend expect cloudy and cool conditions with gusty winds in the mountains and deserts and periods of showers in and west of the mountains. Southwest to west winds will increase in strength through the day Saturday, peaking Saturday night into early Sunday. Some drizzle may occur Saturday morning, but the the best chances for showers and accumulating rain will also be Saturday night into early Sunday. Dry and warmer conditions expected for next week.

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

A low pressure system is on track to move inland through California on Saturday night and dig into the Great Basin on Sunday. This system will bring cooler, cloudier, windier (in the mountains and deserts), and wetter conditions (in and west of the mountains) to Southern California this weekend. Southwest to west winds will begin to increase Saturday afternoon, peaking in strength Saturday night into Sunday, gradually diminishing into Sunday night. Winds will be strongest on the desert mountain slopes, through passes, and into portions of the deserts. Peak gusts of 55 to 65 mph expected. There is a 30 to 40 percent chance that a few isolated gusts to 70 mph are possible in wind prone locations on the desert foothills of the San Bernardino mountains and near the San Gorgonio Pass late Saturday night. Winds will gradually weaken into Sunday night. For much of next week, a broad troughing pattern over the United States will enhanced the onshore pressure gradient, bringing periods of breezy westerly winds to the mountains and deserts each afternoon and evening.

A weak coastal eddy is expected to help deepen the marine layer overnight. This could result in patchy drizzle for the coast and valleys tonight into Saturday morning. The best chance for showers and accumulating rain is late Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Shower coverage will be scattered with mostly light amounts expected to accumulate. A few hundredths to a tenth of an inch of rain are expected for the coast and valleys. One-quarter to locally one-half inch expected on the coastal slopes of the mountains with the greater amounts most likely on the coastal slopes of the San Bernardino County mountains. A trace of snow is expected above 7000 ft. This will be a quick moving system and dry conditions are expected by early Sunday afternoon.

Highs Saturday are expected to be 3 to 5 degrees below average for the coast and valleys, and near average for the deserts. Sunday will be even cooler, especially for inland areas with highs 10 to 15, locally up to 20 degrees below average for the valleys, mountains, and deserts. Cold conditions expected Monday morning, especially in the High Desert where lows are forecast to fall to the mid to upper 30s. The highs on Monday will make up for the cool conditions Sunday and Monday morning, with temperatures as much as 10 to 15 degrees warmer than Sunday for the mountains and High Desert. Conditions are expected to gradually warm into the end of next week.
