Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 236 AM PST Tue Dec 5 2023
SYNOPSIS
High pressure aloft and weak offshore flow will bring additional warming today with high temperatures as much as 10 to 15 degrees above average for the valleys and inland coastal areas. There will be gusty northeast to east winds along and below the coastal slopes of the mountains into this afternoon with the stronger gusts to around 35 mph. Onshore flow will return on Wednesday and strengthen into Thursday spreading cooling inland and bringing a return of night and morning coastal low clouds. Slow warming with gusty northeast to east winds for the weekend, then continued warm with weaker winds for early next week.
DISCUSSION
FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES...
.SHORT TERM (Today through Thursday)...
Locally gusty Santa Ana winds will continue along and below the coastal slopes of the mountains and below passes and canyons this morning with the stronger gusts to around 35 mph. The winds will gradually diminish this afternoon. It will be warmer than Monday today with high temperatures for the valleys and inland coastal areas as much as 10 to 15 degrees above average, into lower 80s in warmer portions of the valleys and inland coastal areas.
Onshore flow will return on Wednesday and strengthen through Thursday and Thursday night. Cooling will spread inland on Wednesday and Thursday with high temperatures on Thursday for the coast to the mountains around average with the deserts around 5 degrees above average, in the mid to upper 70s for the lower deserts and the lower to mid 60s for the high desert.
Patchy low clouds may return near the coast as early as late tonight into early Wednesday. More widespread coverage is expected for Wednesday night into Thursday as the marine layer deepens with low clouds extending into portions of the inland valleys on Thursday morning.
.LONG TERM (Friday through Monday)...
A marine layer near 2500 to 3000 feet will continue into early Friday with coastal low clouds extending into portions of the inland valleys. The low clouds will scatter out during the day on Friday as lower level flow goes northerly and then northeasterly.
High temperatures for the deserts into the mountains will cool another 5 degrees while the coast into the valleys warms slightly.
Gusty northeast to easterly Santa Ana winds will strengthen for Friday night into Saturday with ECMWF ensemble output still having the strongest winds on Saturday at around moderate strength. For Saturday, high temperatures will cool another few degrees for the deserts into the mountains while coastal areas warm around 5 degrees.
ECMWF ensemble output is now decidedly weaker with offshore winds for Sunday with support for stronger winds much more limited.
Sunday high temperatures will be a few degrees warmer at lower elevations to around 5 degrees warmer in the mountains, mostly 5 to 10 degrees above average for the coast and valleys with highs for the coast and valleys mostly in the 70s. Not much change to slightly warmer on Monday with weaker winds.
AVIATION
051030Z...SCT high clouds with mostly unrestricted VIS today and tonight. Patchy isolated low clouds and fog along coast after 09Z Wednesday.
Gusty northerly wind gusts 25-35 knots through and below Cajon Pass through 20Z, leading to locally weak to MDT up/downdrafts.
MARINE
No hazardous marine weather conditions are expected through Saturday.
BEACHES
A long-period swell from the west northwest will bring elevated surf late Wednesday into Friday. Highest surf is expected on Thursday, mainly on west-facing beaches of San Diego County. Confidence is increasing that wave heights will range from 3 to 6 feet for most areas with sets to 7 feet in southern San Diego County.
SKYWARN
Skywarn activation is not requested. However weather spotters are encouraged to report significant weather conditions.
