AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
400 AM PDT SUN AUG 26 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS.
OTHERWISE...PARTLY CLOUDY WEATHER WILL DOMINATE THE REST OF THE
WEEKEND WITH PATCHY LOW CLOUDS AT THE COAST. RESIDUAL MID LEVEL
MOISTURE IN SOUTH FLOW ALOFT COULD BRING SOME AFTERNOON CLOUDS TO
THE MOUNTAINS AT TIMES FOR MONDAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.
BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER ARIZONA WILL BRING TEMPERATURES A LITTLE
ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.

&&

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

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A CYCLONIC CIRCULATION CENTER OFF THE
COAST CENTERED NEAR 31N/121W. THIS CENTER CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY
NORTHWARD. SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS ENHANCED MID LEVEL
CLOUDINESS AND WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE DIFLUENT AREA TO THE
NORTH AND EAST OF THE CENTER. A FEW OF THESE SHOWERS COULD GRAZE
PORTIONS OF THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS THROUGH SUNRISE. OTHERWISE...
HIGHER PWS WILL REMAIN ACROSS SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA TODAY WITH
STEERING LEVEL FLOW TRANSITIONING FROM THE SOUTHEAST TO THE SOUTH.
CANT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH FLASH
FLOOD PRODUCING RAINFALL IN THE MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT DESERT AREAS
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE SUBPAR
NATURE OF THE MONSOON THIS SUMMER...NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE THAT THERE
WILL BE SUFFICIENT COVERAGE OF ANY FLASH FLOOD PRODUCING
THUNDERSTORMS TO JUSTIFY A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. IF THE 12Z NKX SOUNDING SHOWS SOMETHING SIGNIFICANTLY
DIFFERENT THAN EXPECTED...THE DAY SHIFT COULD RECONSIDER.

NO CHANGE TO TREND FOR DRYING MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH GREATLY
REDUCED POPS FOR MONDAY AND LESS FOR TUESDAY. NAM DOES SHOW AN
INCREASE IN STRATUS COVERAGE FOR TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING....BUT BY MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY IS BACK TO THE IDEA OF
MINIMAL STRATUS FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER ARIZONA WILL BUILD AND EXPAND WITH TEMPERATURES
RISING TO A LITTLE ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES. MINOR INTRUSIONS OF MID
LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH COULD BRING SOME AFTERNOON CLOUDS TO
THE MOUNTAINS AT TIMES...BUT IS MARGINAL FOR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. LOW POPS ARE IN THE GRIDS...BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR
PRECIPITATING WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION...
261030Z...MARINE LAYER ABOUT 1500 FT TODAY AND ABOUT 1200 FT MONDAY.
BASES ABOUT 1200 FT MSL TODAY AND 900 FT MSL MON. EXPECT JUST PATCHY
STRATUS AND FOG NEAR THE COAST NIGHT AND MORNING THROUGH MONDAY.
LOCAL VSBY 3-5SM WITH ISOLATED BELOW 3SM ON THE MESAS IN THE
MORNINGS. STRATUS WILL CLEAR OUT ABOUT 17Z AND RETURN LOCALLY ABOUT
03Z. SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE CONTINUES OVER THE AREA WITH WIDELY
SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS...DESERTS AND INLAND VALLEYS. TOPS OF THUNDERSTORMS
40K-50K. LIGHT SOUTHEAST FLOW THIS MORNING...BECOMING SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY...BECOMING WEST MONDAY
AFTERNOON.
