Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 128 PM PDT Tue Oct 3 2023

SYNOPSIS
A large area of high pressure over the northeastern Pacific will expand over the western states over the next few days, bringing hot and dry weather across Southern California. Along with this, the first notable Santa Ana wind event of the season will occur on Wednesday. Areas west of the mountains will be quite warm with highs 5 to 10 degrees above average. The area of high pressure will gradually weaken into early next week, bringing not as hot temperatures and night/morning low clouds and fog.

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

.SHORT TERM (Today through Thursday)...
A ridge of high pressure offshore of Northern California will be impacting our weather through the remainder of the week.
Temperatures this afternoon are already reflecting this warm and dry air mass with 80s for many inland valley areas west of the mountains. Temperatures will continue to warm as the ridge moves inland through the end of the work week with highs well into the 90s for the Inland Empire and inland valleys of Orange and San Diego counties. Though it is October, make sure to take breaks and drink plenty of water if outdoors this week. Thankfully, low temperatures will cool sufficiently to offset the afternoon heat.

As the ridge pushes east and a trough moves into the Northern Plains, north and east winds will become stronger over the region.
This will lead to a weak Santa Ana wind pattern setting up by Wednesday. EPS ensemble members show average wind speeds peaking around 35 MPH in some of our mountain locations. North and east winds will be gusty through mountain passes near the coastal slopes with gusts 25-35 MPH (locally 45 MPH) on Wednesday. Winds will weaken on Thursday, though still breezy through these areas.

.LONG TERM (Friday through Early Next Week)...
As the ridge of high pressure expands over the West and weakens, temperatures will still remain very warm across the region through Saturday. Highs will continue to be in the mid to upper 90s for inland valleys and 80s at the coast as light offshore flow persists. Model cluster analysis reveals a trough will enter the Pacific Northwest sometime on Sunday or Monday. This will slowly start to influence our weather by early next week with a bit of cooling and a deeper marine layer presence. Most of the week will be cloud/fog free, but that will change by Sunday morning as the marine layer deepens. Timing of this pattern shift is still moderately uncertain, but confidence is increasing that temperatures will lower to near seasonal averages by early next week.

AVIATION
031955Z...Patchy low cloud cover with bases 800-1000 FT MSL will be possible at the coast 08z-16z Wed.

Otherwise, mostly clear with unrestricted vis through tonight.

MARINE
No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Sunday.

SKYWARN
Skywarn activation is not requested. However weather spotters are encouraged to report significant weather conditions.
