Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 910 PM PDT Mon Oct 2 2023

SYNOPSIS
High pressure building over the West Coast this week will bring warmer weather to Southern California. From Thursday through Saturday a weak Santa Ana offshore flow pattern will push highs into the 80s in the coastal areas and into the 90s in the inland valleys.
Slow cooling returns next Sunday and Monday as the high weakens and onshore flow returns.

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

EVENING UPDATE...The 00Z NKX sounding had a PWAT of 0.69", down from 0.74" Sunday evening, and from a max 1.06" Saturday evening when showers were scattered across SoCal. This downward slide will continue through the end of the week, bottoming out at around 0.50" Thursday and Friday as a weak Santa Ana pattern ushers in drier air.
Offshore winds are forecast to peak Wednesday and Thursday, but are not forecast to be strong in this weak Santa Ana pattern.

The biggest impact of this pattern will be warming effect the downslope easterly winds will have on coastal and valley temperatures. On Thursday and Friday coastal highs will warm into the 80s and valley highs into the 90s. There may even be a few 100 degree highs in the Inland Empire. The offshore winds, warmer weather and lower humidity will briefly elevate the fire weather conditions. Marine layer clouds will largely be absent near the coast this week.

Next weekend the upper ridge shifts east as an upper trough approaches from the Pacific Northwest. This trough will bring slow cooling and a return to onshore flow Sunday and Monday.

AVIATION
030330Z
Coasts/Valleys
Patchy stratus with bases near 1500-2000 ft MSL along the coast and up to 15 mi inland tonight, lowering to around 1000 ft MSL after 10Z. CIGS will be intermittent, so confidence in timing and duration is low. Local 3-5 SM vis in BR/HZ in the valleys after 10Z and where stratus nears higher coastal terrain. Stratus and vis restrictions clearing over land by 15Z. Low clouds and fog may develop along the coast again Tuesday afternoon, potentially spreading a few miles inland Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Mountains/Deserts...Mostly clear with unrestricted vis through Tuesday evening.

MARINE
Patchy fog is possible over the coastal waters Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. Decreasing confidence in any fog for the remainder of the week.

SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
