AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
708 AM PDT FRI AUG 31 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BRING HOT WEATHER THROUGH THE LABOR
DAY WEEKEND. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCAL FLOODING WILL BE
POSSIBLE FROM SOME OF THE STORMS. COOLER AND LESS HUMID WEATHER IS
EXPECTED BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

&&

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED THIS
MORNING WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. THIS ACTIVITY FORMED ALONG THE
LEADING EDGE OF A MUCH LARGER COMPLEX THAT DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT TO
THE SE. THE 12Z MIRAMAR SOUNDING SHOWS A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE WITH WEAK WINDS ALOFT.

EXPECT ANOTHER UNCOMFORTABLY HOT DAY...ESPECIALLY JUST INLAND FROM
THE COAST. WEAK OFFSHORE GRADIENTS WILL LIKELY DELAY SEA BREEZE
ONSET AND ALLOW TEMPERATURES OVER THE COAST AND COASTAL VALLEYS TO
CLIMB A FEW MORE DEGREES THAN YESTERDAY. EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS
IN EFFECT FOR THE VALLEYS...BUT ALL AREAS WILL BE QUITE WARM. LOCAL
THUNDERSTORM EFFECTS COULD CAUSE SURFACE TEMPERATURE JUMPS FOR A
TIME AS WELL TODAY.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY
BASED ON THE WRINGING WET ATMOSPHERE...CONSIDERABLE INSTABILITY...
AND THE SLOW EAST DRIFT OF THE WINDS ALOFT. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT
DEVELOP OVER THE MTNS WILL LIKELY MOVE OVER THE VALLEYS AND MAY
AFFECT COASTAL AREAS AS WELL WHERE THE SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE COULD
ENHANCE UPDRAFTS FOR A TIME.

MODELS INDICATE A GRADUAL DRYING THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK BUT A THREAT OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE AT
TIMES. CONTINUED HOT THROUGH AT LEAST MON...THEN COOLING AS THE
UPPER HIGH BREAKS DOWN AND STRONG ONSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A THROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE PACIFIC NW.

&&

.AVIATION...
311400Z...MAIN ISSUE OF THE DAY WILL BE THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
AREA. THUNDERSTORMS WERE ALREADY OCCURRING OVER THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY
AREA EARLY THIS MORNING BEFORE SUNRISE WITH ONE THUNDERSTORM
DRIFTING CLOSE ENOUGH TO KSAN TO WARRANT AN AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING
FOR LIGHTNING WITHIN 5 MILES OF THE AIRPORT. THIS AREA HAS
DIMINISHED IN ACTIVITY SINCE SUNRISE BUT MORE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. MOST OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS WITH SOME DRIFTING WEST
OF THE MOUNTAINS AT TIMES. BASES SHOULD BE AT OR ABOVE FL080 WITH
TOPS TO FL400 AT TIMES. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD END AROUND
SUNSET.

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TODAY SHOULD APPROACH 30 DEGREES AT KSAN AND
KSNA...40 TO 43 DEGREES AT KONT...AND 45 TO 48 DEGREES AT KPSP.

THE MARINE LAYER IS QUITE SHALLOW AND SHOULD NOT POSE A PROBLEM TO
ANY OF THE COASTAL AIRPORTS TODAY.  HORTON
