SYNOPSIS
Well-below average high temperatures will continue inland today with strong and gusty west winds for this afternoon into tonight, strongest in the mountains and deserts. There is a slight chance of showers into tonight with a slight chance of thunderstorms near the San Bernardino Mountains for late this afternoon and early this evening. Dry with a warming trend for Saturday through Tuesday with Tuesday high temperatures around average near the coast to around 5 degrees above average inland. Winds will be lighter and the marine layer will become shallower. For the middle and latter part of next week, a low pressure system may develop and move inland near the West Coast. While cooling, deepening of the marine layer, and stronger onshore flow with gusty southwest to west winds for the mountains and deserts are expected, there remains larger model spread with those details.

.SHORT TERM (Today through Sunday)...
A low pressure system from the northwest will move through southern California for today and tonight with high pressure aloft and weaker onshore flow for the weekend.
A deep marine layer will continue for today and tonight, becoming shallower during the weekend. The marine layer is around 6000 feet deep with coastal low clouds extending inland and onto the coastal slopes of the mountains. There have been some breaks in the cloud coverage over the inner coastal waters and the Orange County coastal plain.
There have been light measurable amounts overnight from light showers and drizzle, mainly near the coastal slopes of the mountains and portions of the coast and valleys in San Diego County. The slight chance for showers will continue into this evening, mainly near the mountains in the afternoon, and ending from the north late tonight. A slight chance of thunderstorms has been added for late this afternoon and early this evening, mainly near the San Bernardino Mountains.
Drier for the weekend with a warming trend with Sunday high temperatures still a few degrees below average.
.LONG TERM (Monday through Thursday)...
Warming will continue for Monday and Tuesday with Tuesday high temperatures near average for the coast to around 5 degrees above average for the mountains, deserts, and inland valleys.
For the middle and latter part of next week, there remains greater model spread in the details of a low pressure system that may develop near and move inland along the West Coast. A cooling trend is expected along with deepening of the marine layer and stronger onshore flow with gusty southwest to west winds for the mountains and deserts. NBM has the greatest spread in the high temperature guidance for the mountains and deserts on Friday while the spread for the valleys and inland coastal areas is similar each day for Thursday through Saturday.
