AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
248 AM PST FRI JAN 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL KEEP THE WEATHER FAIR AND MILD WELL INTO
NEXT WEEK. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE AROUND TEN DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
WHILE OVERNIGHT LOWS REMAIN NEAR NORMAL. GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE IN AND BELOW THE MOUNTAIN PASSES AND CANYONS AT TIMES. SOME
COOLING IS POSSIBLE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...BUT THE WEATHER IS
LIKELY TO REMAIN DRY.

&&

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

PATCHY HIGH CLOUDS WERE DEVELOPING NORTHEASTWARD OVER SOCAL EARLY
THIS MORNING. OTHERWISE...IT WAS CLEAR AND NOT AS COLD MOST AREAS.
GUSTY WINDS TO 40 MPH WERE STILL BLOWING THROUGH SANTA ANA WIND-
PRONE CANYONS AND PASSES. TEMPERATURES IN THESE AREAS WERE DOWNRIGHT
BALMY...AROUND 60 F AT 2 AM PST. SFC PRESSURE GRADIENTS WERE STILL
RUNNING AROUND 10 MBS FROM WESTERN NV.

THE FORECAST CONTINUES ON TRACK WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR DRY AND
MILD TO WARM DAYS WELL INTO NEXT WEEK UNDER A STATIONARY RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE WEST COAST. THE HIGH WILL CONSOLIDATE
FARTHER TO THE NORTH THROUGH THE WEEKEND ALLOWING SOME WEAKNESS IN
THE HEIGHT/THICKNESS FIELD OVER SOCAL SUN-MON. AT BEST...THIS WOULD
BRING MORE HIGH CLOUDS AND ONLY SLIGHT COOLING. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE GREAT BASIN AND DOMINATE OUR WEATHER
WITH A VERY DRY...WEAK TO MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW INTO NEXT WEEK. THE
MODELS DIVERGE AFTER MID-WEEK REDUCING CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST
FOR THE LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK. MODEL CONSENSUS IS STILL DRY...BUT
TEMPS WILL TREND MORE TOWARD CLIMATOLOGY WITH A WARM BIAS.

THE ONLY DETRACTION FROM OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ENDORSED WEATHER
WILL BE THE WIND. WITH STRONG SUPPORT FROM THE OFFSHORE GRADIENT...
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS WE WILL STILL SEE A FEW GUSTS WELL INTO THE 40 MPH
RANGE AND POSSIBLY EVEN AN ISOLATED 50 MPH GUST OR TWO IN THE
WINDIEST REMOTE AREAS THIS MORNING...BUT IN GENERAL THE TREND IS FOR
WEAKER WINDS THROUGH SUN.

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEKEND...THE END OF THE MODEL RUNS...THERE
ACTUALLY IS A CONSENSUS THAT A LONG-WAVE SHIFT WILL EMERGE FAVORING
LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE WEST COAST. THIS IS BEYOND OUR FORECAST
PERIOD BUT WORTH NOTING SINCE THREE SEPARATE 00Z GEM/ECMWF/GFS
DETERMINISTIC MODEL RUNS CONCUR. IT COULD MEAN A RETURN OF A WETTER
AND CERTAINLY COOLER REGIME TO WIND UP THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR.

&&

.AVIATION...
181045Z...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH ONLY THIN CLOUDS ABOVE 20000 FT
MSL AND UNRESTRICTED VIS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SATURDAY. GUSTY EAST
TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH STRONGEST
SFC GUSTS OVER 35 KT NEAR SAN GORGONIO PASS...INCLUDING VCNTY
KBNG...AND THROUGH E-W PASSES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY...INCLUDING VCNTY
KRNM AND KCZZ.

&&

.MARINE...
A 20+ SEC PERIOD/5 FT SWELL GENERATED FROM A STORM OFF THE COAST OF
JAPAN IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE IN THE COASTAL WATERS SAT EVENING. THERE
WILL BE ENOUGH OF A NORTHERLY COMPONENT AS THE SWELL WILL BE FROM
ABOUT 290 DEGREES...SO THE ISLANDS WILL BLOCK MOST OF THE HIGHEST
SWELL. HOWEVER...STARTING SAT NIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH
MONDAY...HIGHER THAN NORMAL SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL BE
EXPECTED ALONG ORANGE AND SAN DIEGO COUNTY BEACHES.

&&

.SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.

PZ...NONE.
