.SYNOPSIS...MOISTURE IN EASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. A FEW STORMS
COULD DRIFT WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS OVER THE INLAND VALLEYS TODAY.
DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE IN THE WEEK. A
SHALLOW MARINE LAYER WILL CAUSE AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG NEAR THE
COAST IN THE NIGHTS AND MORNINGS.

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

THERE WERE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING IN THE MOUNTAINS
AND DESERTS...MAINLY S. A FEW SHOWERS DRIFTED OUT OVER THE SAN
INLAND VALLEYS. COASTAL STRATUS WAS DISRUPTED BY THE OUTFLOW AND MID
LEVEL CLOUDS BUT REMAINED EXTENSIVE OFFSHORE. THE 12Z NKX SOUNDING
UNSTABLE WITH MID LEVEL MOISTURE IN NE FLOW AND A PW OF 1.64 INCHES.
THERE WAS A MODERATELY STRONG INVERSION BASED BELOW 1000 FT. WEAK
ONSHORE GRADIENTS.

VERY LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED IN THE PATTERN THROUGH TUE WITH A VERY
SLOW MOVING ELY WAVE AND OUTFLOW FROM AZ CONTINUING THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT VERY ACTIVE CONVECTION AGAIN TODAY WITH
THUNDERSTORMS CAUSE FLASH FLOODING IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS AND
A FEW WILL PROBABLY BE SEVERE. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD GET
INTO THE INLAND VALLEYS AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW STORMS COULD
CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE ELY FLOW ALOFT WEAKENS A LITTLE WED
BUT STILL EXPECT LOTS OF CONVECTION IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS.
THE UPPER HI SHIFT E AND WEAKENS THU WITH A VERY WEAK WLY FLOW ALOFT
AND DRYING. HOWEVER...THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS THU AFTERNOON. RELATIVELY
MINOR TEMP CHANGES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF
CLOUD COVER AND RH HAVING THE MOST IMPACT ON LOCAL TEMPS.

LONGER RANGE PROGS INDICATE DRIER WLY FLOW WITH GRADUALLY DECREASING
HEIGHT AND WEAK CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT. THIS SHOULD BRING AN END TO THE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...BUT MODELS HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENT ON THE
TIMING AND AMOUNT OF DRYING. THE MARINE LAYER WILL GRADUALLY DEEPEN
AND THERE WILL ALSO BE A LITTLE COOLING W OF THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

.AVIATION...THE BASE OF THE CLOUDS THIS MORNING RANGED FROM 700 TO
1000 FEET OVER THE COASTAL ZONE. THE MARINE LAYER CLEARED QUICKLY
THIS MORNING DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX OVER
IMPERIAL COUNTY. THIS COMPLEX WAS DRIFTING WEST AND BRINGING RAIN TO
THE DESERTS AND A FEW SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND INLAND VALLEYS.
EXPECT MORE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS AGAIN
TODAY...BUT THE CLOUD COVER WILL DELAY OR LIMIT CONVECTION IN THE
DESERTS.

&&

.SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 8 PM TODAY FOR THE SAN
BERNARDINO...RIVERSIDE AND SAN DIEGO MOUNTAINS AND FOR THE DESERTS.
