AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
930 AM PDT MON MAR 31 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
COOLER WEATHER WILL OCCUR TODAY AS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
EAST PACIFIC APPROACHES. GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR AGAIN IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY
MORNING...THEN AGAIN LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WHEN WINDY
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY AGAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. SOME SNOW
WILL OCCUR IN THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE 5000 TO 5500 FEET. PARTLY CLOUDY
AND COOL WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THEN OVER THE
WEEKEND A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL FORM OFF THE COAST AND BRING
WARMER DRY WEATHER.

&&

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

SOME LOW CLOUDS OCCURRED NEAR THE COAST AND LOCALLY IN THE VALLEYS
THIS MORNING...BUT OTHERWISE SKIES WERE CLEAR. NKX SOUNDING SHOWED
SLIGHT COOLING BELOW 925 MB BUT WARMING IN THE 825-925 MB LAYER.
OVERALL...GIVEN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION TODAY AND STRENGTHENING
ONSHORE FLOW...TEMPS SHOULD BE ABOUT 5 DEG F LOWER TODAY. LOCAL WRF
SHOWS 850 MB WINDS LOCALLY TO 50-55 KNOTS TONIGHT...WITH NAM4
SHOWING ABOUT A 11 MB MSLP FROM SAN DIEGO TO LAS VEGAS...SO THERE
SHOULD BE SOME STRONG WINDS AGAIN IN THE DESERTS/DESERT MTN
SLOPES...THOUGH NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS THE SUNDAY MORNING WINDS.
LOCAL GUSTS COULD REACH 65 MPH IN USUAL LOCATIONS SUCH AS N PART OF
THE COACHELLA VALLEY...AND THE WIND ADVISORY LOOKS GOOD EXCEPT THAT
THE STARTING TIME COULD BE A BIT EARLIER THAN 4 PM AS GUSTY WINDS
WILL ALREADY HAVE STARTED THEN.

BROAD CLOSED UPPER LOW NOW HAS TWO MAIN CENTERS...ONE NEAR 42N/132W
AND ONE FURTHER UPSTREAM NEAR 45N/138W...WITH THE ONE FURTHER
UPSTREAM TO WRAP AROUND THE WEST AND SOUTH SIDES OF THE LOW...AND
THIS ONE WILL IMPACT SO-CAL MAINLY TUE MORNING. MOISTURE WILL BE
AVAILABLE UP ALMOST TO 700 MB WITH MODERATE OROGRAPHICS ON THE WEST
SLOPES DUE TO WESTERLY WINDS IN THE 850-700 MB LAYER OF 20-40 KNOTS
THERE. THE DYNAMICS WILL BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED THOUGH...AND MOSTLY
FURTHER NORTH. MOST LOCATIONS WITH THIS FIRST WAVE WILL GET 1/10 TO
1/4 INCH OF PRECIP WITH LOCALLY OVER 1/2 INCH IN THE MTNS. A COUPLE
OF WAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE TUE NIGHT AND WED AND HAVE BETTER
DYNAMICS AND INSTABILITY. MORE WIDESPREAD 1/4 INCH PRECIP AMOUNTS
ARE LIKELY W OF THE MTNS WITH 1/2 TO 1 INCH IN THE MTNS. THE SNOW
LEVEL WILL BE NEAR 4500-5000 FEET BY WED...SO AFTER SOME LIGHT SNOW
TUE...THERE COULD BE 3-7 INCHES TUE NIGHT/WED IN THE
MTNS...ESPECIALLY SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY WHERE DYNAMICS/INSTABILITY
WILL BE BETTER THAN FURTHER SOUTH. DAYTIME TEMPS WILL BE 10-15 DEG F
BELOW NORMAL BY WED DUE TO THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW...CLOUDS AND COOL
PROFILE ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW...EXCEPT LESS THAN 10 DEG F
BELOW NORMAL AT THE COAST WHERE DAYTIME TEMPS ARE TYPICALLY LOWER
THIS TIME OF YEAR.

ANOTHER WAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE BROAD UPPER TROUGHING
SHIFTS EAST...BUT NOT MUCH MOISTURE IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WAVE.
BROAD RIDGING WILL DEVELOP OFF THE COAST OVER THE WEEKEND AND COULD
MOVE OVER CALIFORNIA EARLY NEXT WEEK FOR WARM DRY WEATHER.
