SYNOPSIS
Areas of gusty northeasterly Santa Ana winds will expand southward across the region today, continuing through Wednesday afternoon. We can expect northeast to east winds gusting 25 to 35 mph, with gusts to 55 mph along and below the coastal slopes of the mountains. Conditions will remain very dry, even in the coastal areas. Critical fire weather conditions will spread southward today and continue through Wednesday afternoon. Onshore flow will return with weaker winds and cooler days for Friday and Saturday. There will be a slight chance for light precipitation for the weekend, mainly west of the mountains.
DISCUSSION
FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES...
This afternoon...Temperatures are mostly a few degrees cooler than at this time yesterday. Sfc pressure gradients remain offshore with -5.0 mb SAN-DAG and trending stronger offshore. This supports northeast to east winds currently gusting mostly 25-35 mph with local gusts to 50 mph in favored locations.
From previous forecast...
Sfc high pressure in the Great Basin will maintain and strengthen offshore pressure gradients through Wednesday. This will support northeast to east winds gusting 25-35 mph and locally to 55 mph along and below the coastal mtn slopes. High resolution model guidance no longer shows the potential for localized gusts of 70+ mph for a period of time from Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, mainly below and several miles on either side of the Cajon Pass. It now shows wind gusts remaining below 70 mph.
Conditions will remain very dry through Wednesday, and critical fire weather conditions will spread southward across the region today with, continuing through Wednesday afternoon for the mountains, valleys, inland Orange County, and the San Gorgonio Pass.
High temperatures today will be a little lower than yesterday, remaining mostly below seasonal averages. Tuesday and Wednesday will be warmer, with temperatures near or slightly above seasonal averages in much of the areas west of the mountains. Low temperatures for wind-sheltered locations in the Inland Empire, mostly along Interstates 215 and 15 in the southern Inland Empire, will fall to around 30 degrees or a little lower again late tonight into Tuesday morning with areas of frost possible.
A closed upper low currently about 100 miles southwest of Point Conception will continue to retrograde to the southwest, reaching a position about 850 miles southwest of San Diego by late Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. It will then begin to move northeast over SoCal on Friday, becoming an open wave over AZ on Friday as it gets reabsorbed in the mean westerlies. It will bring a return of onshore flow, cooler conditions and a return of marine layer moisture which will begin to spread inland on Friday. A minority of model ensembles continue to show slight chances for light precipitation on Sat and Sun but since what little moisture there is will be restricted to the boundary layer, any precipitation that falls will be limited to the areas from the coast to the mtn foothills.
By early next week, the current pattern reasserts itself and we return to dry conditions with periods of offshore winds.
AVIATION
132100Z...Clear skies will continue today into Tuesday. Areas of gusty northeast winds 30-40 kts, locally up to 50 kts, will continue into Tuesday mainly in foothills, the northern Inland Empire, and inland Orange County. Pockets of LLWS and locally strong up/downdrafts possible in the lee of mountains. A lull of the winds expected around 06-18z Tuesday morning for the valleys/foothills but remain elevated in the mountains. Strong northeast to east winds pick back up after 18z Tuesday.
MARINE
No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Saturday.
FIRE WEATHER
Areas of gusty northeasterly Santa Ana winds will expand southward across the area today and continue at times through Wednesday afternoon, with winds along and below the coastal slopes of the mountains gusting 25 to 35 mph, locally gusting to 55 mph. High resolution model guidance has adjusted the solutions to no longer show the northeast winds as strong for late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning along the coastal slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains to the east and west of the Cajon Pass.
Beyond the winds, lowest daytime humidity for inland areas will fall to around 10 percent each day through Wednesday with poor overnight recovery. Critical fire weather conditions will spread southward across the area today with critical fire weather conditions continuing through Wednesday afternoon for the mountains, valleys, inland Orange County, and the San Gorgonio Pass.
A weak low pressure system off the southern California coast could move inland across southern California and northern Baja late in the week. Around 75 percent of model solutions remain dry across southwestern California with around 25 percent having some light measurable precipitation from the coast to the mountains, with less than 10 percent showing any significant precipitation. Even if interrupted briefly late this week, the recent dominant dry pattern is likely to return early next with high pressure aloft off the West Coast, dry northerly to northwesterly flow aloft over the western states, and occasional periods of offshore lower- level flow across southern California.
SKYWARN
Skywarn activation is not requested. However weather spotters are encouraged to report significant weather conditions.
