12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

SYNOPSIS. High pressure to the south will continue the warming trend today and Monday. Cooler Tuesday through Thursday as a trough of low pressure to the north strengthens the onshore flow and weakens the high. Patchy night and morning low clouds and fog near the coast will become more widespread and spread a little farther inland during the middle of the week. For late in the week through next weekend, high pressure to the east will strengthen and expand across southern California bringing a warming trend.
DISCUSSION. FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE . SAN DIEGO . WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES .
Low clouds were patchy this morning with the greatest coverage over coastal Orange County. Clouds have already mostly cleared from land areas, with mostly sunny skies expected to prevail through the day. Another hot day is in store for the inland areas, with highs generally around 5 degrees above normal. Not much change for Monday as an upper level ridge of high pressure remains over the southwest US, weakening slightly for minor cooling. Marine layer clouds and fog will remain patchy, with local dense fog possible over the higher coastal terrain tonight should any clouds make it inland.
Cooler weather is on the way for Tuesday through Thursday as an upper level trough passes by to the north, weakening the ridge further. Increasing onshore flow will generate slightly stronger southwest to west winds in the mountains and deserts each afternoon, though winds will remain well below advisory strength. High temps Wed and Thu will be a few decrees below normal. The marine layer will gradually deepen and low clouds should become more organized/widespread, reaching the far western valleys by midweek. There could be a few pockets of dense fog over the coastal mesas or far western valleys Tuesday morning.
For Friday through next weekend, an upper level high centered over New Mexico will strengthen and expand westward across southern California. There are some differences in the placement of the high pressure which would affect just how much warming occurs and whether small intrusions of monsoon moisture might occur. The ECMWF and its ensemble mean are farther west and south with the high with a more west to east orientation. This would be a hotter and drier solution for Southern California. It does indicate some increase in precipitable water over So Cal, however it is mostly above 600 mb, so would just result in some increasing clouds but no shower/thunderstorms. The deterministic GFS remains the weakest/further east for less intense heating and more moisture, but it remains the outlier with its ensemble mean lying somewhere in between.
AVIATION. 051450Z . Coast/Valleys . Patchy low clouds and fog at the coast this morning, currently impacting KSNA. Bases are around 600-800 ft MSL with tops to 1100 ft MSL. KCRQ and KSAN could be impacted for brief periods until 16Z but confidence is low. Expect clearing by 17Z. Low clouds will return to coastal areas after 06Z Monday, likely with more coverage than last night but bases and tops will be about the same. Patchy fog with local vis 1-3 miles could develop along elevated coastal terrain after 09Z Mon.
Mountains/Deserts . Mostly clear with unrestricted visibility through tonight.
MARINE. No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Friday.
BEACHES. Long-period south southwest swell will continue through tonight along with strong rip and longshore currents. Surf of 5-7 feet with sets to 8 feet are expected along the beaches of Orange and northern San Diego Counties today. Surf will begin to slowly subside tonight dropping to 3 to 5 feet most areas by Monday afternoon. The surf will combine with high tides of 6.4 feet to produce another round of minor tidal overflow at low-lying coastal locations this evening. Locations which could be affected include parts of Seal Beach, Sunset Beach and Newport Beach in Orange County, and the north end of Del Mar and the south end of Cardiff in San Diego County.
SKYWARN. Skywarn activation is not requested. However weather spotters are encouraged to report significant weather conditions.
SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. CA . High Surf Advisory until noon PDT Monday for Orange County Coastal Areas-San Diego County Coastal Areas.
