AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
315 AM PST WED NOV 30 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
COOLER TODAY WITH A RETURN OF PATCHY COASTAL LOW CLOUDS AND FOG IN
THE MORNING. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING STRONG
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS...MUCH COLDER WEATHER...AND A CHANCE OF RAIN AND
SNOW SHOWERS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. COLD...UNSETTLED WEATHER LINGERS
INTO THE WEEKEND THEN TURNS FAIR WITH LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS EARLY NEXT
WEEK UNDER DRY NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT.

&&

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

HIGH CLOUDS CONTINUE TO MOVE OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING. LOW CLOUDS
AND FOG ARE INCREASING OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND IMMEDIATE COASTAL
AREAS AS A WEAK COASTAL EDDY DEVELOPS.

THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WHICH BROUGHT US THE WARM WEATHER OVER
THE PAST FEW DAYS WILL ADJUST WESTWARD AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
CURRENTLY CENTERED NEAR THE WASHINGTON/OREGON STATE LINE MOVES
SOUTHEAST INTO THE GREAT BASIN DURING THE DAY TODAY. MODELS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH FORMING A CLOSED LOW IN THE BASE OF THE MEAN TROUGH
AS IT DEEPENS AND RETROGRADES INTO THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER VALLEY
THIS EVENING. THE EC...GFS...UKMET AND GEM ALL BRING THIS LOW INTO
SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA AND THIS IS THE PREFERRED MODEL
SOLUTION...ALTHOUGH THE ECM DOES POSITION THE LOW A LITTER FARTHER
WEST THAN THE OTHER MODELS. THE NAM CONTINUES TO BE THE
OUTLIER...BRINGING THE LOW ABOUT 250 MILES EAST OF THE OTHER
SOLUTIONS INTO CENTRAL ARIZONA AND KEEPING THINGS MUCH WINDIER AND
DRIER OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

MAIN IMPACT FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE STRONG AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING
NORTHEAST WINDS...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN AREAS. WINDS 25-45 MPH
WITH GUSTS TO 65 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE SAN BERNARDINO
MOUNTAINS...INLAND EMPIRE...SANTA ANA MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS...AND
THE INLAND ORANGE COUNTY COASTAL AREAS. LOCAL GUSTS TO 80 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE WIND PRONE LOCATIONS...MAINLY THROUGH AND BELOW THE
CAJON PASS AND THE CANYONS OF THE SANTA ANA MOUNTAINS. WINDS WILL
PEAK IN THESE LOCATIONS THURSDAY MORNING WITH A SECOND WEAKER PEAK
FRIDAY MORNING. IN THE RIVERSIDE AND SAN DIEGO COUNTY MOUNTAINS
WINDS WILL PEAK FRIDAY MORNING WITH GUSTS NEAR 60 MPH. WINDS WILL
QUICKLY DIMINISH FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE LOW WEAKENS AND MOVES EAST.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER AS THE LOW MOVES
OVER THE AREA. RECENT EC AND GFS RUNS ARE NOT QUITE AS COLD WITH
THIS SYSTEM...SHOWING 850 MB TEMPS AROUND 0-2C. HOWEVER...HIGH TEMPS
ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO AROUND 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL
AVERAGES. SOME MOISTURE IS BROUGHT IN WITH THE SYSTEM ALONG WITH
COLD AIR ALOFT...SO THERE REMAINS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN AND CHANCE
OF MOUNTAIN SNOW...AS WELL AS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. IF
ANY PRECIPITATION DOES OCCUR...SNOW LEVELS WILL RANGE FROM ABOUT
3500-4500 FEET. RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN...BUT AT THIS
TIME LOOKS LIKE ANY ACCUMULATION WILL BE LESS THAN ONE-TENTH INCH IN
MOST AREAS...WITH SOME LOCATIONS APPROACHING TWO TENTHS. SNOWFALL
WILL BE AROUND ONE INCH AT THE MOST.

THE LOW MOVES EAST ON SAT...BUT IS QUICKLY REPLACED BY ANOTHER
CLOSED LOW THAT DEVELOPS A SIMILAR PATTERN AS THU/FRI. THERE IS
LITTLE OR NO MODEL CONSENSUS WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE EC BRINGS THE LOW
OVER SOUTHERN CA LATE SAT...GFS BRINGING IT OVER AZ/NM...AND THE GEM
SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. IF EC/GEM VERIFIES IT WILL BE COOLER WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR PRECIPITATION...WHILE GFS SOLUTION KEEPS US UNDER DRY
NORTH FLOW. THE GFS QUICKLY LIFTS THIS LOW OUT OF THE REGION WHILE
THE EC AND GEM KEEP IT OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK. NEEDLESS TO SAY...THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY FOR THIS
PERIOD...BUT THE EC AND GEM HAVE HELD TO THIS SOLN FOR A COUPLE OF
RUN CYCLES...SO HAVE INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR PRECIP THROUGH
SUN. THIS COULD PERSIST LONGER...BUT THERE IS STILL TOO MUCH
UNCERTAINTY.

&&

.AVIATION...
301030Z...EXPANDING AREA OF LOW CLOUDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THIS
MORNING WITH CLOUD BASES FROM FL001-004 MSL. INCREASING ONSHORE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL DEEPEN THE CLOUD LAYER TODAY WITH CIGS
INCREASING TO FL010-015 AFT 20Z. SCT-BKN CLOUDS AND REDUCED VIS OF
4-6SM IN HAZE AND FOG WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO SPREAD INLAND AND
IMPACT THE COASTAL AIRPORTS THROUGH EARLY EVENING.

THIS EVENING AN INCREASINGLY STRONG...DRY OFFSHORE FLOW WILL PUSH
THE CLOUDS OUT TO SEA BTWN 03-06Z AT KSNA AND KCRQ...AND AT KSAN
BTWN 06-09Z. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS QUITE POSSIBLE AT THE AIRPORTS
WITH THE ONSET OF STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS THIS EVENING.

IN THE MOUNTAINS EXPECT STRONG UP AND DOWNDRAFTS TONIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...
AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG THIS MORNING WITH VIS REDUCED TO 1 MILE
AT TIMES.

STRONG OFFSHORE WINDS WILL BEGIN THIS EVENING. INITIAL EFFECTS WILL
BE OVER THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY COASTLINE FROM SAN CLEMENTE TO CARLSBAD
WITH STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS FROM 15 TO 25 KTS DEVELOPING BETWEEN 6PM
AND MIDNIGHT. THE WINDS WILL SPREAD SOUTH AND WEST THROUGH 6 AM
THURSDAY AS THE OFFSHORE FLOW STRENGTHENS.

THE STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS COMBINED WITH A WESTERLY OCEAN SWELL WILL
PRODUCE CONFUSED SEAS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOR BOATERS THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A VERY COLD AND STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DIG SOUTH THROUGH THE
GREAT BASIN AND THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN TODAY THROUGH
FRIDAY...BRINGING VERY STRONG AND GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS TO
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY. NORTH TO
NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS UP TO 65 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH LOCAL
GUSTS UP TO 80 MPH THROUGH AND BELOW THE FAVORED CANYONS AND PASSES.
A FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
MOUNTAINS...THE INLAND EMPIRE...THE SANTA ANA MOUNTAINS AND
FOOTHILLS...AND THE ORANGE COUNTY COASTAL AREAS.
HOWEVER...HUMIDITIES ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO DROP TO 20-30 PERCENT AT
THE LOWEST...AND THIS SYSTEM COULD BRING SOME SHOWERS...SNOW
SHOWERS...AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION AS WELL ON THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY. WINDS WILL DECREASE ON FRIDAY.
