AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
1000 AM PDT TUE APR 30 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COASTAL EDDY AND STRONGER ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE A DEEP MARINE
LAYER THROUGH TONIGHT. A TROUGH MOVING BY TO THE NORTHEAST WILL
PRODUCE GUSTY WEST WINDS ACROSS THE DESERTS THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.
FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE WEST COAST AND
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL BRING MUCH WARMER
TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS NEAR THE COASTAL FOOTHILLS.
FOR THE WEEKEND THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY...A TROUGH AND BACK DOOR COLD
FRONT ARE FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTHWEST FROM THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TO
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS WILL BRING A RETURN OF ONSHORE FLOW...
MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES...AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN...WITH
SNOW POSSIBLE ABOVE 8000 FEET.
