Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 816 PM PST Fri Dec 8 2023

SYNOPSIS
High pressure building over the Great Basin this weekend will bring sunny days, clear nights and gusty northeast Santa Ana winds to the mountains, foothills, and valleys. The strongest winds will be on Saturday. The warmest day will be Sunday. This dry weather pattern will continue through next week.

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

Santa Ana winds were starting to surface this evening in the San Bernardino Mountains and Foothills, in and below the Cajon Pass, the San Gorgonio Pass and the Santa Ana Mountains. Peak gusts through 8 PM included 43 mph at Fontana, 41 mph at Lytle Creek, 39 mph at Devore, 38 mph at Pleasants Peak in the Santa Ana Mountains and at CSU San Bernardino.

The winds will peak Saturday when a 1042 mb high settles over Nevada. Pressure gradients will be strong enough to generate winds gusts of 40-60 mph in the Santa Ana wind-prone areas below the Cajon Pass and in the Santa Ana Mountain canyons. Wind Advisories are in effect for the mountains and valleys.

The offshore gradient weakens Saturday night and Sunday morning and the winds will gradually subside through Sunday afternoon. There will be a few degrees of cooling Monday and Tuesday, then another offshore pressure pattern sets up the middle of next week for more dry and mild weather through Friday.

AVIATION
090430Z...Mostly clear through Saturday. Strong northeast winds will develop first in passes and foothills, spreading into some valley corridors overnight and eventually into some coastal corridors Saturday morning. Strongest gusts 50-60 knots in foothills. Areas of moderate up/downdrafts and LLWS expected. Winds will weaken after 23Z Saturday, but continue breezy in these areas.

MARINE
Some northeast or east wind gusts around 20 knots can be expected Saturday. These can happen anywhere in the coastal waters, but are most likely near Camp Pendleton and at the Mexico border. Otherwise, no marine weather hazards are expected through Wednesday.

FIRE WEATHER
...Red Flag Warning will be in effect beginning 8 AM on Saturday morning, and running through Sunday afternoon for the Inland Empire...

Strong and gusty northeasterly winds will develop tonight and peak in strength on Saturday morning. Strongest winds will be below the Cajon Pass, and near Fremont Canyon, where a few gusts of 65 MPH or more are possible. Elsewhere, in the Inland Empire and along the coastal slopes of the mountains in wind-prone areas, east to northeast winds will be 30 to 40 MPH, with peak gusts 50 to 55 MPH from early Saturday morning, through Sunday morning. Minimum RH values will fall to around ten percent by Saturday afternoon, and again on Sunday afternoon, with poor overnight recovery. This will create areas of elevated, to critical fire weather conditions at times in the valleys. Due to drier conditions at lower elevations north of San Diego County, more widespread critical fire conditions are expected in the Inland Empire.

Winds will remain in the 25-35 MPH range with peak gusts in the Santa Ana wind-prone areas of 50-60 MPH through Sunday morning, then weaken later in the day. Widespread RH values on Sunday will once again fall to around ten percent away from the coast.

Light winds are expected on Monday and Tuesday, allowing some moderation in relative humidity and cooling west of the mountains.
