AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
930 AM PDT THU AUG 4 2005

.SYNOPSIS...MOISTURE IN EASTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS...MAINLY IN THE
AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. A FEW STORMS COULD DRIFT WEST OF THE
MOUNTAINS INTO THE VALLEYS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A SHALLOW MARINE
LAYER WILL CAUSE AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG NEAR THE COAST IN THE
NIGHTS AND MORNINGS...LINGERING NEAR SOME BEACHES INTO THE
AFTERNOONS.

&&

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

LOW CLOUDS AND LOCAL FOG WERE IN THE COASTAL AREAS AND WRN INLAND
SAN VALLEY THIS MORNING. STRATUS REMAINS EXTENSIVE OFFSHORE. THERE
WERE A FEW DEBRIS CLOUDS TO THE E. THE 12Z NKX SOUNDING HAD A
FAIRLY STRONG INVERSION BASED BELOW 1000 FT. THE SOUNDING WAS
MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH MOISTURE THROUGH THE MID LEVELS IN WEAK ELY
FLOW AND HAD 1.38 INCHES OF PW. ONSHORE GRADIENTS WITH ABOUT 5 MB
SAN-IPL.

THE UPPER HI OVER THE SW WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER NV AND STRENGTHEN
INTO SAT BEFORE WEAKENING SLIGHTLY SUN. THIS WILL MAINTAIN A WEAK
ELY COMPONENT TO THE FLOW ALOFT WITH MOISTURE THROUGH THE MID
LEVELS. MODELS DIFFER ON THE EXACT AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND THE
STRENGTH OF THE ELY FLOW...BUT PREFER THE GFS WHICH HAS GENERALLY
BEEN DOING A BETTER JOB. THIS PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE DESERTS EACH AFTERNOON. A FEW STORMS COULD DRIFT W OF THE
MOUNTAINS INTO THE INLAND VALLEY THROUGH SAT. THE COMBINATION OF THE
STRONG HI ALOFT AND MONSOONAL INFLUENCE WILL KEEP THE MARINE LAYER
SHALLOW AND MOSTLY CONFINED TO NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST. EXPECT
RELATIVELY MINOR TEMP CHANGES WITH THE EXACT DISTRIBUTION OF CLOUDS
COVER AND RH HAVING THE GREATEST IMPACT ON LOCAL TEMPS.

LONGER RANGE PROGS SHOW A GRADUAL DECREASE IN THE MID LEVEL MOISTURE
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN DECREASING
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. WEAK TROUGHING ALONG THE W COAST SHOULD BRING
A SLIGHT COOLING TREND AND A LITTLE DEEPER MARINE LAYER.
HOWEVER...TEMPS IN THE DESERT SHOULD INCREASE A LITTLE WITH LESS
CLOUD COVER AND RH.

&&

.AVIATION...BASE OF STRATUS 800 FEET MSL WITH TOPS 1200 FEET AND
ASSOCIATED LOWER VISBYS FOR COASTAL TAFS. THE STRATUS WILL CLEAR
15-17Z TO AT LEAST THE BEACHES. EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF MT/DES
TSTRMS TODAY. STRATUS MOVING ASHORE LATE AGAIN TONIGHT AS LAST NIGHT
AND AT LEAST AS LOW.

&&

.SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM TODAY FOR THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS
AND FOR THE DESERTS.
