Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 409 AM PDT Tue Apr 16 2024

SYNOPSIS
The warming trend will continue through Wednesday with high temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above average for inland areas on Wednesday. A weak low pressure system moving inland through southern California will bring cooling for Thursday and Friday and deepening of the marine layer with night and morning coastal low clouds spreading into portions of the valleys for Thursday morning and inland across most of the valleys for Friday morning. There will also be gusty southwest to west winds for the mountains and deserts for Wednesday afternoon and night and Thursday afternoon and night with the stronger gusts to around 50 mph. Warming for Saturday and Sunday with weak high pressure aloft, then a cooling trend through the middle of next week.

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

.SHORT TERM (Today through Thursday)...
Satellite imagery early this morning shows a few high clouds moving eastward across the area and a few patches of low clouds over the coastal waters. A few of those might extend to near the coast into this morning.

The warming trend will continue for today and Wednesday with the greatest warming today of 10 to 15 degrees for the inland valleys onto the lower coastal slopes of the mountains as the marine layer becomes shallower. The deserts will warm another 5 or so degrees on Wednesday. A weak coastal eddy may develop for late tonight into Wednesday morning with a little greater coverage of low clouds and fog near the coast. Not much change in high temperatures near the coast on Wednesday with the valleys only another degree to two warmer than today.

For Thursday, onshore flow will strengthen and high pressure aloft weaken as a weak low pressure system moves toward southern California. High temperatures will be a few to around 5 degrees cooler than Wednesday. The marine layer will be deepening with coastal low clouds spreading into portions of the valleys for late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. There will also be increasing high clouds for late Wednesday night and Thursday

.LONG TERM (Friday through Monday)...
The cooling trend will continue into Friday with Friday high temperatures a few degrees cooler than Thursday, a few to around 5 degrees below average for the coast and valleys and around 5 degrees above average for the deserts. Coastal low clouds for Thursday night into Friday morning will spread inland across most of the valleys.

For next weekend, high pressure aloft near the West Coast will bring warming for Saturday and Sunday with Sunday high temperatures a few degrees above average near the coast and 8 to 12 degrees above average for inland areas, mostly in the 90s for the lower deserts for Sunday. NBM has a 75 percent chance for Palm Springs to have a high temperature on Sunday of 100 or higher.
That would still be well below the existing record high temperature for the date of 107. Then a cooling trend into the middle of next week as high pressure weakens.

AVIATION
160930Z
Coast
Patchy and intermittent low clouds are expected through 16Z. Any cigs that form would have bases around 1000-1500 feet MSL and tops to 1600 feet. Local vis could be reduced to 3-5SM over higher coastal terrain. Similar patchy low cloud coverage is expected tonight after 06Z into Wednesday.

Otherwise...mostly clear skies with unrestricted vis will prevail today and tonight.

MARINE
No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Saturday.

BEACHES
A long-period swell from the southern hemisphere will build surf up to 6 feet Wednesday into early Thursday, especially in Orange County. This would generate a high rip current risk.

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

SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
CA...None.
