AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
300 AM PDT TUE MAR 25 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEP MARINE LAYER WILL MAKE THE MORNING CLOUDY AND THE AFTERNOON
PARTLY CLOUDY TODAY. A PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH
CALIFORNIA TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AND BRING LIGHT SHOWERS...WITH
STRONG WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. FAIR AND SEASONAL WEATHER
WILL RETURN BY FRIDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...
THE COASTAL BASIN HAS FULL LOW CLOUD COVERAGE THIS MORNING WITH A DEEP
MARINE LAYER OF ABOUT 3000 FEET...A RESULT OF A WEAK CUTOFF LOW MOVING
THROUGH NORTHERN BAJA THIS MORNING. ONLY PARTIAL CLEARING IS EXPECTED
TODAY...MOST LIKELY INLAND. TONIGHT A SHORTWAVE WILL SPIN OFF A RATHER
LARGE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST AND INTO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA. THE FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN CYCLONIC THROUGH THURSDAY. ALL
THIS WILL TAKE THE EXISTING MARINE LAYER AND STRETCH IT OUT...PRODUCING
SOME LIGHT OCCASIONAL SHOWERS. THE SHOWERS ARE MOST LIKELY LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN LESS LIKELY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND
SHIFTING TO THE SOUTHEAST (EASTERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY) BY THURSDAY. THEN
NO CHANCE BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SNOWFALL WILL BE LIGHT ABOVE 6000 FEET
WITH ONLY AN INCH OR TWO AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WINDS WILL PICK UP TODAY
IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS...AND THEN EVEN MORE TONIGHT CONTINUING
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WINDS DECREASE ONLY SLIGHTLY THURSDAY BEFORE
SHUTTING OFF THURSDAY NIGHT. FAVORED WIND POCKETS WILL GET A FEW GUSTS
ABOVE 60 MPH...BUT MOST AREAS WILL STAY BELOW 50 MPH. DAYTIME TEMPS
WILL COME IN BELOW AVERAGE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. A TRANSITORY HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD FRIDAY AND CONTINUES SATURDAY. A WEAK
SHORTWAVE ZIPS THROUGH CALIFORNIA SATURDAY NIGHT TO BRIEFLY ENHANCE THE
MARINE LAYER AND THE WINDS. FAIR WEATHER WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY AND
MONDAY UNDER A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ALOFT. IT DOES NOT LAST LONG AS
A SIZABLE TROUGH SETS UP OFF THE WEST COAST. BY TUESDAY THAT THING
COULD BRING SOME LIGHT RAIN...BUT THAT MIGHT BE THE HOPE OF FOOLS.
