Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Lenwood, CA

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

This afternoon...The marine layer remains about 1500 ft deep with a relatively strong inversion. Low clouds persist at the immediate coast this afternoon and will likely begin to spread inland in the late afternoon, extending up to 10 miles inland by sunrise on Sunday. The marine layer may be shallower Sunday morning than it was this morning as high-resolution models show minor height rises aloft and no indications of a coastal eddy. Temperatures are currently a few degrees lower than at this time yesterday except in the IE where it's a few degrees higher. The mid-level moisture from yesterday is mostly gone as the flow aloft has become more south westerly than southerly but enough remains for a few mid-level clouds and some cumulus over the mtns this afternoon.

SoCal will remain sandwiched between a high over the eastern North Pacific and one over TX/Mexico. This pattern will likely evolve into a Rex Block by Tue as a closed upper low moves into position south of the high off the NorCal coast. This will bring us mostly typical June weather through next Wed except for daytime temperatures which will be mostly a few to about 5 degrees above average for coastal regions and 5 to 10 degrees above average for far inland areas, including the mountains and deserts. Low temperatures will similarly be 5 to 10 degrees above average most place, with parts of the mountains and deserts seeing lows up to about 15 degrees above average. The marine layer will see minor day-to-day variations in depth, and the low clouds will return to the coastal areas and western portions of the inland valleys each night and morning.

For the latter half of next week...the east PAC high is weakened and displaced as a low pressure system moves into the Pacific Northwest. There is still significant uncertainty in the details but we will likely see a trend toward cooler conditions with a deepening marine layer allowing low clouds to spread farther inland during the nights and mornings. Current model solutions indicate that temperatures next Sat will be near or up to 11 degrees below normal.
