AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
1000 AM PST FRI DEC 13 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
AS A SYSTEM MOVES BY TO OUR NORTHEAST...EXPECT ONE LAST COOL DAY
ACROSS THE REGION...WITH LOCALLY GUSTY WEST WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS
AND DESERTS.  HOWEVER...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK OVER THE WEST
COAST...WITH DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS DEVELOP THROUGH THE FIRST
PART OF WORK WEEK.  AS THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
GREAT BASIN TONIGHT AND ON SATURDAY...MODERATE TO LOCALLY STRONG
NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE SOUTHLAND...AND
CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY...BEFORE WEAKENING A BIT ON MONDAY.  A
GRADUAL COOLING TREND WILL DEVELOP FOR THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK
THOUGH...WITH COASTAL LOW CLOUDS AND FOG RETURNING BY THURSDAY.

&&

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

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CLEARLY SHOWS A SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT
BASIN THIS MORNING...WITH DRY NORTHWESTERLY FLOW DEVELOPING OVER
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.  AS A RESULT...SKIES ARE PREDOMINATELY CLEAR
THIS MORNING...EVEN THOUGH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE
COOLER WHEN COMPARED TO THOSE OF YESTERDAY.  LOCALLY GUSTY WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL ALSO BE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON.  HOWEVER...THE WINDS WILL TRANSITION AND INCREASE
TONIGHT TO THE NORTHEAST...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
GREAT BASIN.

THESE WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN THROUGH THIS WEEKEND
AND THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK...AS MODERATE TO LOCALLY STRONG AND
GUSTY NORTHEAST AND EAST WINDS DEVELOP FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.  IN
FACT...THE 12Z NAM CONTINUES TO SHOW THE SURFACE GRADIENT BETWEEN
SAN DIEGO AND TONOPAH INCREASING AND PEAKING EARLY SATURDAY MORNING
AROUND 15 MBS...WHILE THE SAN DIEGO TO DAGGETT GRADIENT PEAKS AROUND
8 MBS.  THERE WILL ALSO BE GOOD UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...WITH 850 MB
WINDS RANGING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KTS.  THE 06Z WRF IS STILL A LITTLE
STRONGER WITH THESE WINDS...SHOWING THE WINDS RANGING BETWEEN 40 TO
50 KTS.  THESE WINDS WILL ALSO SPREAD SOUTH THROUGH THE
DAY...INCREASING ACROSS SAN DIEGO COUNTY BY THE AFTERNOON.  ALTHOUGH
THE GRADIENTS WILL WEAKENING A BIT FOR THE DAY...THERE WILL BE A
SECONDARY PEAK ON SUNDAY MORNING.  THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS SHOW
THIS PEAK FAVORING RIVERSIDE AND SAN DIEGO COUNTY...WITH THE UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT STILL RANGING BETWEEN 35 AND 45 KTS.  AT THIS
TIME...STILL THINK MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE GUSTS IN THE 45 TO 55 MPH
RANGE...WITH THE FAVORED WINDY SPOTS THROUGH AND BELOW THE FAVORED
PASSES AND CANYONS GUSTING UP TO 65 MPH...SUCH AS FREEMONT
CANYON...HIGHLAND SPRINGS...AND SILL HILL.  THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT
WILL FINALLY START TO WANE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...EVEN THOUGH THE
SURFACE GRADIENTS WILL STILL BE SIMILAR TO THOSE OF SUNDAY MORNING.
THEREFORE...EXPECT BREEZY CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE INTO AT LEAST
MONDAY.

BESIDES THE GUSTY WINDS...THIS WEEKEND WILL BE VERY NICE...AS CLEAR
SKIES PREVAIL.  TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BETWEEN 5 TO 10 DEGREES EACH
DAY...WITH VALLEY TEMPERATURES FLIRTING WITH THE 80 DEGREE MARK BY
SUNDAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS BY SUNDAY.  THESE WARM CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE INTO MONDAY...AS WARM A FEW MORE DEGREES.  TUESDAY WILL BE
VERY SIMILAR TO MONDAY AS WELL...WITH THESE DAYS LIKELY BEING THE
WARMEST OF THE WEEK.

THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WORK
WEEK...AS ANOTHER SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION.  AS A
RESULT...COOLER CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP...AND THE MARINE LAYER WILL
LIKELY RETURN TO THE COASTAL EACH NIGHT.  AT THIS POINT IN
TIME...THE MODELS ARE STILL STRUGGLING WITH HOW TO TRACK AND HOW
STRONG THIS NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE.  THESE DIFFERENCES WILL GREATLY
IMPACT WHETHER OR NOT THE SOUTHLAND WILL SEE ANY PRECIPITATION.  IN
THE MEANTIME THOUGH...JUST EXPECT COOLER CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL.
