AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
930 AM PST TUE NOV 27 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE COAST OF BAJA CALIFORNIA WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH VARIABLE HIGH CLOUDINESS OVER THE REGION MUCH OF
THE COMING WEEK. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN
THROUGH TOMORROW AND BRING WEAK TO MODERATE OFFSHORE WINDS TO THE
REGION. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS AND NEAR
TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY. SOME COOLING IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AS A WEAK UPPER LOW APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.

&&

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

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...
HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BE THE DOMINANT FORCE OVER THE WEST. THIS
IS SEEN MAINLY IN THE PARADE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AREAS
DEVELOPING OVER THE PLATEAU.  THE NEXT IN THE SERIES IS DUE TO HIT
THE PLATEAU WEDNESDAY MIDDAY...AND GENERATE SOME OFFSHORE WINDS IN
THE FAVORED AREAS.  THE BEST TIMING OF THE WIND LOOKS TO BE ABOUT
MID MORNING WEDNESDAY...THEN DECREASE AROUND SUNDOWN. LOOKS LIKE A
HIGH END WIND ADVISORY SCENARIO AT THIS TIME.  COUPLED WITH
HUMIDITIES THAT ARE ALREADY LOW...LOOKS LIKE A CONVERSION FROM FIRE
WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING WOULD BE THE WAY TO GO THIS
AFTERNOON.

AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY REFLECT A FAIRLY UNIFORM OR REVERSE
HEATING PATTERN WEDNESDAY...WITH THE COASTAL ZONE HOT SPOTS WARMER
THAN MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE VALLEY AREAS...AS OPPOSED TO THE NORMAL
PATTERN OF THE VALLEYS GENERALLY WARMER THAN THE COASTAL AREA HOT
SPOTS. HUMIDITIES SHOULD STILL BE IN THE LOWER TEENS MOUNTAINS AND
FOOTHILLS INTO THE EVENING WEDNESDAY BEFORE ANY SIGNIFICANT RECOVERY
BEGINS. CONDITIONS THURSDAY LOOK LIKE THOSE EXPECTED FOR
WEDNESDAY...EXCEPT ONLY LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS BELOW CANYONS AND
PASSES MIDDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...
THE MODELS ARE GENERALLY UNDECIDED ON WHAT TO DO WITH THE CUTOFF LOW
HANGING OUT OFF THE BAJA COAST. ECMWF AND GFS WANT TO PUSH IT
THROUGH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THE NAM...ON THE
OTHER HAND...STILL HAS THE LOW OFF THE COAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE
BEST SOLUTION TO FOLLOW AT THIS TIME IS ONE THAT BRINGS UP SOME
INTERESTING LOOKING TROPICAL CLOUDS ALONG WITH SOME SPRINKLES.

&&

AVIATION...
271700Z...THERE WILL BE BROKEN CLOUDS ABOVE 10K FT WITH NO VSBY
RESTRICTIONS TODAY. THE BROKEN MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE
WED. OFFSHORE WINDS WILL GET STARTED IN MTN PASSES BY SUNRISE
WED...THEN SPREAD INTO THE INLAND VALLEYS JUST BELOW THOSE PASSES BY
15-17Z...SOMETHING LIKE NE 20G30 AROUND ONT. VISBY MAY BE REDUCED IN
A FEW SPOTS BECAUSE OF BLOWING DUST IN THE NORTHERN INLAND EMPIRE
BETWEEN 16-21Z. LOCAL UPDRAFTS/DOWNDRAFTS CAN BE EXPECTED AROUND
TERRAIN...BUT LITTLE MTN WAVE OR ROTOR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED.
