Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 133 PM PDT Wed Apr 24 2024

SYNOPSIS
A deep marine layer; gusty winds in the mountains and deserts; and cooler conditions will prevail through Friday. Patchy drizzle or light rain is expected each night and morning west of the mountains.
Gusty southwest to west winds will peak each afternoon and evening in the mountains and deserts through Friday. Winds will weaken through the weekend. Drier and warmer with a shallower marine layer expected early next week.

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

Low clouds are expected to fill in the coastal basin again tonight into Thursday morning. Deep marine layer moisture combined with lift from a low pressure system passing through Southern California and Northern Baja will generate areas of drizzle and light rain this evening and overnight. The greatest coverage is expected to be in the coast and valleys in San Diego County and along the coastal mountain slopes. Any accumulations for the coast and valleys will be light, with 0.10 inches or less expected. On the coastal mountain slopes, around 0.25 inch is expected. Marine layer low clouds may become patchier Thursday night into Friday morning, but areas of drizzle or light rain are still possible. Dry conditions expected for the weekend into early next week.

Gusty southwest to west winds are expected in the mountains and deserts through Friday. Peak winds gusts will be 50 to 65 mph. Gusts could locally reach up to 75 mph through the San Gorgonio Pass.
Winds will peak each afternoon and evening. Winds will gradually decrease in the the weekend, with weaker winds expected early next week.

Cooler conditions expected for inland areas Thursday, with a few degrees of warming on Friday for the coast. High temperatures will be as much as 10 to 15 degrees below average on Thursday for the mountains and valleys. A warming trend is expected for Saturday through Monday with not much change on Tuesday. Weak high pressure aloft is expected to prevail but there are some model differences for early in the week which would impact the strength of the onshore flow and the depth of the marine layer. This uncertainty creates greater spread of the high temperature forecasts for locations in the coast and valleys. If the warming develops, high temperatures would be near average for most locations on Sunday with high temperatures on Monday and Tuesday 3 to 7 degrees above average.
