AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
124 PM PST THU JAN 5 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAKENING HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT...AND DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
GREAT BASIN WILL BRING ONSHORE FLOW...COOLING...AND INCREASING
HUMIDITY WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH SATURDAY. NORTHERLY FLOW
ALOFT AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL TURN THE
WINDS BACK OFFSHORE BY SUNDAY WITH DRY AND LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS
RETURNING THROUGH AND BELOW MOUNTAIN PASSES AND CANYONS INTO MONDAY.
CONTINUED MILD AND DRY WEATHER THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK UNDER HIGH
PRESSURE AND NW FLOW ALOFT. HIGH SURF ARRIVES THURSDAY NIGHT AND
CONTINUES THROUGH SATURDAY.

&&

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

IT APPEARS MORE RECORD TEMPERATURES WILL FALL TODAY...INCLUDING
LINDBERGH FIELD. AT 1 PM PST...MOST AREAS WEST OF THE MTNS WERE IN
THE UPPER 70S OR 80S WITH VERY LOW RH. SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS
REMAINED WEAKLY OFFSHORE BUT WERE TRENDING ONSHORE...ESPECIALLY TO
THE NE. WINDS WERE LIGHT AND SKIES SUNNY. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY
DID NOT SHOW ANY LOW CLOUDS ANYWHERE OVER THE CA BIGHT.

ALL MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE RIDGE OVERHEAD FOR THE PAST
COUPLE OF DAYS WILL WEAKEN AND RETROGRADE TEMPORARILY AS A STRONG
SHORT-WAVE TROUGH DIVES SOUTH THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN ON SAT. ALONG
WITH THE FALLING HEIGHTS/THICKNESS...ONSHORE FLOW WILL INCREASE AND
THE MARINE LAYER SHOULD DEEPEN RAPIDLY WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS WITH
ATTENDANT COOLING...CLOUDS/FOG...AND HIGHER HUMIDITY. SKIES WILL
REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR OVERNIGHT...BUT MARINE CLOUDS SHOULD APPEAR BY
FRI AND BEGIN TO PUSH INLAND LATER IN THE DAY. IT WILL BE NOTICEABLY
COOLER AS WELL. PARTLY CLOUDY AND COOLER FOR SATURDAY WITH A GOOD
CHANCE FOR A WELL DEVELOPED COASTAL EDDY.

THE DEGREE TO WHICH THE TROUGH WILL DIG AND POTENTIALLY DEVELOP A
CLOSED LOW IS SOLIDIFYING NOW WITH THE 12Z MODEL SOLUTIONS FARTHER
EAST AND MORE IN LINE WITH PREVIOUS RUNS OF THE GFS MODEL. THIS
SHOULD LIMIT THE ONSHORE FLOW AND ANY CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE
PCPN...AND BUILD CONFIDENCE IN A PERIOD OF GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS
BEGINNING EARLY SUN MORNING. STRENGTH OF OFFSHORE WINDS IS STILL A
BIT UNCERTAIN...BUT AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE WINDS SHOULD AT LEAST
BE ADVISORY STRENGTH IN THE SAN BERNARDINO MTNS...INLAND EMPIRE...
AND SANTA ANA MTNS WITH LOCAL GUSTS OF 50 MPH OR MORE POSSIBLE
THROUGH AND BELOW WIND FAVORED PASSES AND CANYONS. WINDS MAY ALSO
REACH ADVISORY STRENGTH IN THE NORTHERN COACHELLA VALLEY. BECAUSE
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE MORE NORTHERLY AS OPPOSED TO EASTERLY...WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE SLIGHTLY WEAKER AND LESS WIDESPREAD IN THE
RIVERSIDE AND SAN DIEGO COUNTY MOUNTAINS WHERE THEY WILL BE MOSTLY
GRADIENT-DRIVEN. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK SUN MORNING...THEN
GRADUALLY WEAKEN THROUGH MON AS THE LOW MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND
PRESSURE GRADIENTS WEAKEN.

DRY AND MILD THROUGH THE MOST OF NEXT WEEK UNDER WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
AND NW FLOW ALOFT. MODELS ARE SUGGESTING A CHANGE MAY BE IN THE
WORKS BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK WITH MORE FLOW BREAKING UNDER THE EAST
PACIFIC RIDGE. THIS MAY BE THE FIRST SIGNS OF A RETURN TO A WETTER
PATTERN FOR THE SECOND HALF OF JANUARY.

&&

.AVIATION...
052015Z...VFR CONDS WITH FEW-SCT CLDS FL170-FL250 THROUGH FRIDAY
MORNING. ALTHOUGH PATCHY FOG/STRATUS MAY FORM NEAR THE COAST
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...IT IS UNLIKELY TO MOVE OVER ANY OF THE COASTAL
AIRPORTS. HOWEVER...STRATUS LOOKS LIKELY TO MOVE INLAND BY TOMORROW
EVENING.

&&

.MARINE...
A NEW LARGE WEST SWELL ORIGINATING FROM THE CENTRAL NORTH PACIFIC
WILL ARRIVE TONIGHT...WHICH WILL RESULT IN HIGH SURF FOR WEST FACING
SHORES...PARTICULARLY THOSE SHORES THAT ARE NOT BLOCKED BY THE
ISLANDS WITHIN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BIGHT. SURF OF 6 TO 10 FEET
AND LOCAL SETS TO 12 FEET CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. THE HIGH SURF...COMBINED WITH HIGH TIDES OF 6 TO 7 FEET
DURING THE MID-MORNING HOURS...MAY ALSO CAUSE SOME COASTAL EROSION
AND MINOR COASTAL FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS. A HIGH SURF ADVISORY
AND COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY BOTH GO INTO EFFECT TONIGHT AND LAST
THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

THE SWELL WILL ALSO PRODUCE COMBINED SEAS OF 10-13 FEET IN THE
COASTAL WATERS...WHICH MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO MARINERS. THUS...A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY WILL GO INTO EFFECT TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.

THE SWELL WILL DIMINISH SLOWLY LATE SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
HIGHER HUMIDITY IS ON THE WAY FOR FRI AND SAT AS ONSHORE FLOW
RETURNS TO SOCAL. BUT ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO
RETURN BY SUN AS STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS REDEVELOP THROUGH THE
MOUNTAIN PASSES AND CANYONS AND INTO SOME VALLEYS. GUSTS OF 40 TO 50
MPH AND LOCALLY HIGHER ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WINDIEST AREAS NORTH OF
SAN DIEGO COUNTY ON SUNDAY MORNING...WEAKENING SUN PM INTO MON.
VERY DRY AIR MAY PUSH DAYTIME HUMIDITY SUN AFTERNOON AND AGAIN ON
MON TO AROUND TEN PERCENT WITH POOR OVERNIGHT RECOVERY IN THE WIND
PRONE AREAS. HIGHER HUMIDITY WITH WEAKER OFFSHORE WINDS TUE AND WED.
