AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
945 PM PST SAT MAR 3 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT AND WEAKENING OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BRING ANOTHER
WARM DAY SUNDAY. GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AND
BELOW THE MOUNTAIN PASSES. MONDAY WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER WEST OF
THE MOUNTAINS...BUT STILL QUITE WARM IN THE DESERTS. MUCH COOLER ON
TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE INLAND BRINGS STRONGER ONSHORE FLOW WITH
GUSTY WEST WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. FAIR...DRY AND WARMER
FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK WITH GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS AT TIMES.

&&

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

TODAYS OFFSHORE WINDS WERE A LITTLE LIGHTER THAN FORECAST. THERE
WERE ONLY A FEW ISOLATED GUSTS TO 59 MPH: AT CRESTLINE RIDGE IN THE
SBD MTNS...AND AT HIGHLAND SPRINGS IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY NEAR THE
BANNING PASS. IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY A PEAK GUST OF 55 MPH WAS RECORDED
AT BUCKMAN SPRINGS IN THE I-8 MOUNTAIN CORRIDOR.

WINDS WILL BE A LITTLE LIGHTER SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
GREAT BASIN WEAKENS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...BUT STILL BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT GUSTY EAST WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS PASSES THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES TODAY WERE 5 TO 10 DEGREES HIGHER TODAY FROM HIGHER
HEIGHTS AND WARM OFFSHORE WINDS. THE HOT SPOTS WERE IN ANAHEIM AND
SANTA ANA WITH A HIGH OF 85. SUNDAY WILL BE EVEN WARMER THAN TODAY
IN MOST AREAS.

COOLING WILL BEGIN AT THE COAST AND VALLEYS MONDAY AS A TROUGH
APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST AND ACCELERATES THE LOW LEVEL ONSHORE
FLOW. COOLING WILL PROBABLY NOT REACH THE DESERTS UNTIL TUESDAY.
THAT IS WHEN AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH TRACKS ACROSS THE CALIFORNIA
INTERIOR TOWARD SOCAL. THE 00Z GFS IS FORECASTING A DEEPER...MORE
POTENT TROUGH THAN PREVIOUS RUNS...AND EXPECT A PERIOD OF STRONG
ONSHORE WINDS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED
BY A BURST OF GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS BEHIND THE TROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY. THE MARINE LAYER SHOULD DEEPEN RAPIDLY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON FOR ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS LATE
IN THE DAY THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS.

THE TROUGH CLOSES OFF OVER AZ WEDNESDAY BEFORE DRIFTING SLOWLY EAST
THUR AND FRIDAY. IN THE MEANTIME...A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE BUILDS
OVER THE WESTERN STATES. THIS WILL BRING WARMING TO SOCAL WED THRU
FRI AND SEVERAL DAYS OF DRY OFFSHORE FLOW.

MODELS ARE ADVERTISING A MAJOR PATTERN CHANGE AFTER NEXT WEEKEND AS
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EAST PACIFIC IS REPLACED WITH A DEEP LONG-
WAVE TROUGH. IF THIS PATTERN HOLDS...IT WILL BE MORE FAVORABLE FOR
MORE WIDESPREAD AND GENEROUS RAIN/SNOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS CA AROUND
MID MONTH.

&&

.AVIATION...
040500Z...SKC WITH VFR CONDS OVER A MAJORITY OF THE REGION. DURING
THE DAY SUNDAY GUSTY EASTERLY WINDS THROUGH AND BELOW MOUNTAIN
PASSES MAY CREATE LLWS AND WEAK TO MODERATE UP/DOWNDRAFTS OVER
INLAND AREAS WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. TOWARD THE COAST...THE USUAL
DIURNAL SEA BREEZE WILL OCCUR SUNDAY AFTER 18Z. OTHERWISE NO
AVIATION CONCERNS.

.SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

NONE.
