Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 722 AM PDT Thu Apr 25 2024

SYNOPSIS
Gusty southwest to west winds; areas of night and morning drizzle or light rain; and cooler conditions are expected through Friday. A deep marine layer will result in night and morning low clouds throughout much of the coastal basin for the next couple of days. A gradual warming is expected over the weekend into early next week.

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

Visible satellite at 7 AM was showing widespread cloud coverage in the coastal basin, with mostly clear skies in the deserts.
Showers developed overnight, and are currently (as of 7 AM) moving southeast across San Diego County. Rain has been light, with 0.01-0.05 inches of accumulation over the past 12-hours for the coast and valleys. In the mountains accumulations have been a little bit higher with 0.06- 0.08 inches of accumulation. Showers are expected to taper off by mid-morning. The upper level pattern stays relatively unsettled into Friday with periods of drizzle or light rain expected each night and morning through Friday night.

Periods of gusty southwest to west winds will continue over the mountains and into the deserts through Friday night. Over the past 24-hours, the top wind gusts have been recorded through and below the San Gorgonio Pass into portions of the northern Coachella Valley. The top gust so far occurred at Whitewater RAWS just before 1 AM with a gust of 69 mph. Winds are expected to weaken into this morning, before strengthening again this afternoon and overnight. Peak gusts for this afternoon into early Friday morning will be mostly 50 to 60 mph on the desert mountain slopes, locally into the deserts. Local gusts up to 70 mph possible through the San Gorgonio Pass near Whitewater. Gusty winds will continue for Friday afternoon into early Saturday. There is a potential for more widespread coverage of stronger wind gusts on Friday as a low pressure system moves into the Great Basin and east into the Four Corners region through early Saturday morning.
Gusts of 50 to 65 mph are expected. There will also be the potential for gusts 70 to 75 mph in wind prone locations like through the San Gorgonio Pass.

High temperatures today are expected to be a degree or two cooler than yesterday near the coast and valleys, with highs 5 to 10 degrees cooler than yesterday in the mountains and deserts.
Widespread below average high temperatures are expected into Saturday. By Sunday, highs will warm to near average, with some locations still a degree or two cooler than average for this time of year. Further warming is expected into early next week. By the middle of next week, some uncertainty develops in the upper level pattern. This introduces uncertainty into the temperature forecast, with the potential for a few degrees of cooling. This uncertainty also impacts the depth of the marine layer. Current forecast reflects a shallower marine layer for early next week, slowly deepening into the middle to end of next week.
