Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Fairbanks Ranch, CA

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

Update: Models are still showing that the ridge will continue to break down after today and lead to temperatures becoming cooler and closer to the seasonal average by this weekend. Saturday is looking to be the coolest day for the next week, then it will be slightly warmer on Sunday as some weak ridging transitions over the region. Winds look to increase for the mountains and high deserts by later in the afternoon and through the evening tomorrow.
Strongest winds look to be through Banning Pass, with gusts possibly over 50 mph at times going into late evening tomorrow. At this time, there is still not enough in the way of widespread winds reach criteria to warrant the issuance of a Wind Advisory, although after decoupling a bit overnight tomorrow and into Friday morning, they will increase again by later in the afternoon.

Low clouds are going to regather and fill back in during the evening hours, and some of the inland areas will see patchy fog as well.
These clouds should begin to lift slightly and thicken by Friday morning ahead of the next approaching trough. There will be a slight chance of drizzle by Friday evening going into Saturday morning. Low clouds will continue to stick around for most of the coastal areas and portions of the inland valleys, especially on Saturday.

(Previous discussion submitted at 316 AM):
