Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Oceanside, CA

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

Today through tomorrow night...

Currently, low clouds are continuing to fill in along the coastal areas of San Diego and Orange counties, with very little eastward extent into the inland areas. This will likely continue to be the case, with weak offshore flow in place. Temperatures remain relatively mild at this hour, with upper 60s to low 70s being felt for most of the inland and coastal locations. These clouds should mix out and clear will likely occur for most of the inland areas through 8 AM.

There is going to be an influx of some mid level moisture from the southeast by later in the day, which may allow for a shower or possibly a shower to develop over the mountains by later this afternoon. Given that there will be a better surge of moisture and slightly better SB-CAPE values in place on Sunday, there will be a better chance of a few showers and/or thunderstorms developing over the mountains during the afternoon on Sunday. With the ridge only weakening and shifting eastward slightly through the weekend, hot temperatures will remain in place, especially for the Inland Empire, with little relief in the cooling of temperatures overnight.

Monday through Friday...

As the upper level ridge over the inner mountain west does shift a little further east through the early part of the week, with will allow for there to be a gradual cooldown and decrease in humidity values through Wednesday. This will be followed by an increase in temperatures, with a return to being anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees above the seasonal average towards the end of end week as the ridge begins to retrograde back to the west and strengthen, along with 600 dm heights over our desert regions by Thursday. There will also be better propagation of monsoonal waves advecting moisture in over the region, which will help to increase chances of afternoon thunderstorms for the mountains and deserts.
