.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL CONTINUE OUR SEASONAL WEATHER WITH
SOME COASTAL LOW CLOUDS AND FOG DURING THE NIGHTS AND MORNINGS.
ONSHORE FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN WEDNESDAY INTO THE WEEKEND AS A LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH APPROACHES. THIS WILL BRING A COOLING TREND AND MORE
EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUDS. FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY IT WILL GIVE
US A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

COUNTIES...

POCKETS OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WERE MAINLY OVER SAN DIEGO COUNTY THIS

OUR SKY. AFTER ITS PASSAGE WE WILL BE LEFT WITH A MOSTLY SUNNY DAY
SHINING THROUGH THINNER HIGH CLOUDS. MORE OF THE SAME IS EXPECTED
THROUGH ABOUT WEDNESDAY. SEASONAL WEATHER WITH OCCASIONAL HIGH
CLOUDS AND COASTAL CLOUDS DURING NIGHTS AND MORNINGS...ALTHOUGH THE
COASTAL CLOUDS WILL BE MORE EXTENSIVE. WEAK SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE
THROUGH WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT TONIGHT AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
AS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC DEEPENS AND
HEADS TOWARD SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS WILL GRADUALLY DEEPEN OUR
MARINE LAYER AND EXTEND THOSE COASTAL CLOUDS IN TIME AND
SPACE...MAYBE EVEN ENOUGH FOR DRIZZLE THURSDAY AND/OR FRIDAY. BRISK
WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS DURING AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS
WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE THIS WEEK AS WELL. THE TROUGH IS PROGGED TO
ARRIVE FRIDAY AND BRING US A DECENT CHANCE OF RAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS FAIRLY LIGHT. THAT
TROUGH MOVES OUT PROVIDING A SHORT BREAK LATE SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY...BUT LINGERING SHOWERS COULD CONTINUE. A SECOND TROUGH WILL
CLOSELY FOLLOW THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
RIGHT NOW THIS SECOND TROUGH LOOKS WETTER...BUT IT ALSO SHOWS SIGNS
