Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 925 AM PDT Wed May 1 2024

SYNOPSIS
Slightly cooler high temperatures today compared to yesterday. The deep marine layer today, will get shallower for Thursday and Friday with warming conditions. A passing low pressure system will bring increased cloud coverage, cooler conditions, periods of gusty westerly winds, and a slight chance of precipitation to the area over the weekend. Drier and warmer conditions expected early next week.

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

The deep marine layer overnight brought low clouds and fog to the coastal mountain slopes, locally filling in mountain passes. Areas of drizzle and even light rain were reported. Rain accumulations were mostly confined to the mountain foothills, although a few valley locations picked up a hundredth of an inch.
At 9 AM, low clouds were beginning the process of scattering out.
Most areas will see some sunshine today. A coastal eddy is expected remain present through at least Saturday, which will help maintain areas of night and morning low clouds and fog. Even with the eddy the marine layer is expected to get shallower tonight and Friday night. Low clouds and fog are forecast to reach into the valleys, but are not expected to completely fill in the coastal basin.

High temperatures today are expected to be a few degrees cooler than yesterday for most areas. A few degrees of warming is expected for Thursday with another warm day expected on Friday. On Saturday, an incoming low pressure system is expected to push the weak ridge over us to the east. This will bring a few degrees of cooling for Saturday, with even more cooling on Sunday as the low digs into the Great Basin. Highs on Sunday are expected to be 5 to 10 degrees cooler than Saturday west of the mountains and 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Saturday in the mountains and deserts. Monday and Tuesday are expected to be warmer, but highs will still be below average on Tuesday.

The passing low will increase the onshore pressure gradient over the weekend which will enhance westerly winds over the mountains, through passes, and into the deserts. Winds are expected to peak late Saturday into Sunday afternoon. Winds will slowly decrease Sunday night into Monday.

The passing low will dig far enough south to bring chances of precipitation to Southern California mainly Saturday night into Sunday morning. 24-hour chances for measurable rainfall are around 20 percent for the mountains and around 10 percent near the coast. Rainfall is expected to be mostly light and confined to areas in and west of the mountains. Chances for one-quarter inch or more of rainfall in the mountains are around 10 percent with a 10-30 percent chance of the coast and valleys accumulating a tenth of an inch or more. Dry conditions are expected to return by Monday.
