AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
140 PM PDT MON SEP 4 2006

.SYNOPSIS...
BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL BRING HOT
WEATHER THROUGH TUESDAY. MONSOONAL MOISTURE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND
DESERTS WILL AGAIN RESULT IN SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING. A FEW STORMS
COULD DRIFT WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS INTO THE VALLEYS AGAIN ON
TUESDAY...AND MAY PRODUCE SOME CLOUDS ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST. A
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL BRING
SLOW DRYING AND COOLING THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.

&&

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

CUMULUS WASTED NO TIME DEVELOPING OVER THE SAN DIEGO MOUNTAINS AND
DESERTS THIS MORNING AND RAPIDLY INCREASED...WITH SOME STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS NOTED JUST AFTER NOON. A FLASH FLOOD WARNING WAS
ISSUED FOR THE MOUNTAINS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY WHERE LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN WAS REPORTED BEFORE 1 PM. ELSEWHERE...THE WATER VAPOR
LOOP SHOWS WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE REMAINS OF JOHN BEING ADVECTED
NE...INTO MAINLAND MEXICO...WELL TO OUR SOUTH. EARLY AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES ARE RUNNING CLOSE TO THOSE OBSERVED YESTERDAY. SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS ARE QUITE WEAK...WHICH HAS SLOWED THE ADVANCE OF
THE STEEP SEA BREEZE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT.

THE 12Z MIRAMAR SOUNDING WAS LATE INTO THE SYSTEM DUE TO PHONE LINE
ISSUES AND DID NOT MAKE IT INTO THE NAM. IT DID MAKE THE 06Z GFS RUN
HOWEVER WHICH IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE.

EXPECT ANOTHER HOT DAY ON TUESDAY EVERYWHERE. ONLY THE IMMEDIATE
BEACH AREAS WILL ESCAPE...ALTHOUGH AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BRING
SOME LOCAL RELIEF FROM THE SINGEING EARLY SEPTEMBER SUN. THE MODELS
RETROGRADE THE UPPER HIGH TO THE W BY THU...OPENING THE DOOR FOR A
TROUGH TO SLIDE DOWN THE COAST AND AMPLIFY. THE NW FLOW ACCOMPANYING
THE TROUGH WILL DRY THE ATMOSPHERE AND PERK UP THE SEA BREEZE IN THE
AFTERNOONS. RELIEF WILL BE GRADUAL...BUT SUBSTANTIAL AFTER MIDWEEK
AS THE TROUGH GAINS STRENGTH. THE MODELS REBUILD A DEEP MARINE LAYER
W OF THE MOUNTAINS AS THE WEST WINDS STRENGTHEN ALOFT AND THE TROUGH
DIGS DOWN THE COAST. LOOKS LIKE THE GFS MAY BE SLOW IN DRYING THE
MID-LEVELS...BUT LOOK FOR THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT TO DIMINISH
SUBSTANTIALLY AFTER WED.

THE LATEST GFS RUN HOLDS THE TROUGH OVER US THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
WITH THE UPPER FLOW REMAINING WESTERLY...NO RETURN OF THE MONSOON IS
EXPECTED. LOOK FOR DRY AND COMFORTABLE AFTERNOONS...COOLER NIGHTS...
AND A GOOD SEA BREEZE WITH NIGHT AND MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG W OF
THE MOUNTAINS BEGINNING ON FRI AND CONTINUING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...TAFS AND TWEB ADEQUATELY REFLECT EXPECTED CONDITIONS.
SEE TAFS LAXTAFSAN...LAXTAFCRQ...LAXTAFSNA...LAXTAFONT...
LAXTAFPSP...LAXTAFTRM...AND TWEB LAXTWB432 FOR MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION. AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDED TAFS.

SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THRU 02Z IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS...AND A FEW STORMS ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS COULD
ALSO TRIGGER ISOLATED ACTIVITY IN OR NEAR THE INLAND VALLEYS. BASES
NEAR 7000 FT MSL AND CUMULONIMBUS TOPS TO FL450 WITH ASSOCIATED
STRONG UDDFS AND TURBULENCE. STRONGER STORMS THIS AFTN COULD PRODUCE
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...HAIL AND GUSTY SURFACE WINDS TO 45 KTS.

OTHERWISE PREDOMINANTLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT AND TUE MORN.
THE COAST HAS STAYED CLEAR OF ANY STRATUS/FOG THANKS TO A MINIMAL
SHALLOW MARINE LAYER AND NIGHT/MORNING OFFSHORE WIND COMPONENTS. IT
IS MOST LIKELY THIS LULL WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT...HOWEVER WITH THE
LATEST NAM MODEL RUNS FORECASTING A WEAK EDDY DEVELOPING LATER
TONIGHT...THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SOME PATCHY STRATUS AND FOG FROM
11-15Z TUE. ANY OCCURRENCE SHOULD BE NEAR THE COAST AND LIMITED IN
COVERAGE. FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND THE LATEST UPDATES SEE TAFS AND
TWB432.
