AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
1000 AM PST THU MAR 1 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
FAIR WEATHER AND A SLOW WARMING TREND TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY. OVER THE
WEEKEND STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL BRING CLEAR
SKIES...GUSTY SANTA ANA WINDS...AND WARMER WEATHER WEST OF THE
MOUNTAINS. THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A RETURN TO
COOLER ONSHORE FLOW MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

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

NO WEATHER CONCERNS TODAY. NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH A EMBEDDED
SHORT WAVE BRUSHING AREA WILL BRING A FEW HIGH CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH TONIGHT OTHERWISE SKIES CLEAR. ON FRIDAY BUILDING HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE ALONG WEST COAST AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER
NORTHERN GREAT BASIN WILL CAUSE NORTHERLY FLOW ACROSS SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA. A FEW GUSTS AROUND 35 MPH FOR WIND PRONE AREAS OF INLAND
EMPIRE AND SANTA ANA MOUNTAINS POSSIBLE. THICKNESS RISES AND
DOWNSLOPE EFFECTS FRIDAY WILL BE SLIGHTLY OFFSET BY COLD AIR
ADVECTION IN MID LEVELS. CURRENTLY HAVE 5 DEGREES WARMING ADVERTISED
WEST OF MOUNTAINS...BUT PLAN TO BUMP UP A FEW MORE DEGREES IN THE
AFTERNOON PACKAGE. FRIDAY NIGHT THE OFFSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENT
INCREASES RAPIDLY AND THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IS IN PLACE FOR A
MODERATE TO STRONG SANTA ANA WIND EVENT SATURDAY THAT WILL CARRY
INTO SUNDAY EVEN THOUGH THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IS ESSENTIALLY GONE
ON SUNDAY DUE TO THE RIDGE AXIS SHIFTED TO THE EAST AND UPPER LEVEL
MOISTURE MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS
ADVERTISED TO BE +20 MB SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING FROM NE UTAH
TO SW CALIFORNIA COAST WITH 8 MB OF THAT ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. THIS
IS PROBABLY WHY THE MOS GUIDANCE FOR CAMPO SHOWED SUSTAINED 47 MPH
SATURDAY. THE LOCAL WIND PROGRAM HAS MOST LOCATIONS SUSTAINED +35
MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND 80 MPH IN THE MORE WIND PRONE AREAS. WILL BE
MODIFYING WIND GRIDS SHORTLY AND PLAN TO ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH IN
THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS. TEMPERATURES
WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS WILL BE MUCH HIGHER SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH
HIGHS IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S....WHILE ONLY SLIGHT WARMING IS
EXPECTED OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS DUE TO THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION OUT OF THE GREAT BASIN. ONSHORE FLOW RETURNING MONDAY
SHOULD COOL AND MOISTEN THE COAST AND VALLEYS DUE TO THE INFLUX OF
MARINE AIR WHILE THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS SHOULD WARM UP DUE TO
WARM AIR ADVECTION AND DOWNSLOPE EFFECTS FROM THE INCREASING
SOUTHWEST WINDS. FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD FROM PREVIOUS
DISCUSSION...THERE IS NO REAL GOOD CHANCE FOR PRECIP IN THE OFFING.
A WEAK TROUGH CROSSES CALIFORNIA ON THURSDAY BUT MOISTURE TOO
LIMITED AT THIS TIME.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER PATTERN SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. STRONG
OFFSHORE WINDS SATURDAY...OVER 35 MPH AT MOST LOCATIONS. VERY LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITY...BELOW 10 PERCENT DURING THE DAY. LITTLE TO NO
RECOVERY SATURDAY NIGHT WITH MAX RELATIVE HUMIDITY 12 TO 22 PERCENT.
WINDS JUST AS STRONG ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY SUNDAY WHILE A LITTLE
LOWER ELSEWHERE AND CONTINUED VERY DRY ALL AREAS WITH POOR HUMIDITY
RECOVERY AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT. INLAND VALLEYS AND COASTAL AREAS WILL
MOISTEN AND COOL MONDAY...BUT MOUNTAIN AND DESERT AREAS WILL STILL
BE IN A CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER PATTERN WITH LINGERING DRY MASS AND
INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS.

&&
.AVIATION...
011600Z...MARINE LAYER WAS VERY SHALLOW THIS MORNING BASED ON THE
12Z NKX SOUNDING...ABOUT 700 FEET. A MOSTLY CLEAR SKY WILL DOMINIATE
THROUGH FRIDAY WITH UNRESTRICTED VISIBILITIES AT ALL AREA AIRPORTS.

DEVELOPING OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BRING LOCAL GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS
THROUGH AND BELOW MOUNTAIN PASSES AND CANYONS LATE TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY WITH ASSOCIATED UP AND DOWN DRAFTS AND LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR.
