SYNOPSIS
Cool temperatures and passing clouds are expected today. Strong winds over the mountains and deserts will continue through this evening. Dry weather with slow warming will prevail through midweek, with little day-to-day change Thursday into next weekend.

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

A 543 DM low is progressing into the Great Basin today and a shortwave is rounding the base of the trough over the Mojave Desert. Showers have diminished and pockets of shallow cumulus clouds are left in the wake of a cold front that moved through the region early this morning. Strong west to northwest winds will continue this afternoon over the mountains and along the desert slopes, with peak wind gusts up to 55 mph. Winds will diminish tonight as the parent low moves quickly eastward.

Today will be the coolest day of the week for most areas, with highs topping out 3-6 degrees below normal across the coast and western valleys, and 10-20 degrees below for the foothills, mountains and deserts. Highs will reach the 60s for the coastal areas and valleys, 40s in the mountains, upper-50s to low-60s in the High Desert, and mid to upper-70s in the lower deserts.

Southern California will remain under weak cyclonic flow through at least Wednesday as a ridge builds near the Pacific Northwest and a strong upper low is centered over the central US. Much warmer temperatures are expected on Monday, with more gradual warming occurring on Tuesday and Wednesday. Breezy onshore west to northwest winds will develop each afternoon and evening over the mountains and deserts, with peak gusts approaching 40 mph.

For the second half of the week, ensemble guidance is pointing towards a positively-tilted shortwave breaking off from the parent low over the central US, and retrograding towards the Desert Southwest. A period of offshore winds are expected on Wednesday as this low strengthens, but will turn predominantly back onshore for Thursday and Friday as the low becomes centered near the Four Corners region. Otherwise, little day-to-day change is expected temperature wise Wednesday through Friday, with highs remaining within a few degrees of seasonal averages. Marine layer low clouds will continue for the coastal areas and portions of the valleys each night and morning, potentially deepening and spreading further inland by next weekend.
