AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
147 PM PDT TUE SEP 8 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BRING HOT DAYTIME WEATHER THROUGH
THURSDAY... FOLLOWED BY SLOW COOLING SPREADING INLAND FROM THE COAST
FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK ALONG WITH GRADUAL DRYING. TROPICAL
MOISTURE WILL BRING A CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE MOUNTAINS...DESERTS...AND PORTIONS OF THE
INLAND EMPIRE INTO FRIDAY WITH CHANCES GREATEST TODAY THROUGH
THURSDAY. AN INCREASED FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL ACCOMPANY THESE
THUNDERSTORMS. IN ADDITION...ALL VALLEYS AND COASTAL AREAS COULD SEE
SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

&&

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

A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS IN PLACE THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH THE 12Z MIRAMAR SOUNDING SHOWING 1.77 INCHES OF
PRECIPITABLE WATER AND 1058 J/KG OF MOST UNSTABLE CAPE...WITH SOUTH
TO SOUTHEAST FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS AND SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. WITH
THIS ATMOSPHERIC SET-UP...AND THE AMPLE SUNSHINE THAT THE REGION IS
EXPERIENCING TODAY...RADAR SHOWS THUNDERSTORMS ERUPTING OVER THE
MOUNTAIN RIDGES. SLOW MOVING STORMS COULD PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING.
SEE THE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS ON THE FLOODING
POTENTIAL.

WATER VAPOR SATELLITE SHOWS HURRICANE LINDA SOUTHWEST OF SOUTHERN
BAJA...WITH SOME WISPS OF HIGH CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH LINDA MOVING
OVER SAN DIEGO COUNTY THIS MORNING. A RIDGE ALOFT IS CURRENTLY
BUILDING OVER THE REGION...AND WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD THROUGH AT
LEAST THURSDAY. THE RIDGE...IN ADDITION TO SOME INCREASING MOISTURE
AT THE SURFACE...WILL MAKE FOR HOT AND MUGGY DAYS FOR MOST AREAS.
SURFACE DEW POINTS ARE ALREADY IN THE MID 60S IN WESTERN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY AND ORANGE COUNTY. TEMPERATURES ARE ALREADY 100 TO 105 IN THE
INLAND EMPIRE...95 TO 100 IN ORANGE COUNTY...AND 95 TO 98 IN SOME OF
THE INLAND SAN DIEGO COUNTY COASTAL MESAS. FORECAST TEMPERATURES
WERE INCREASED FOR THURSDAY FOR THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY VALLEYS AND
COAST...DUE TO SOME EASTERLY DOWNSLOPE FLOW FROM THE REMNANT
CIRCULATION OF LINDA THAT THE MODELS ARE INDICATING. THUS...THE HEAT
ADVISORY FOR THOSE AREAS WAS CHANGED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY.
THE HEAT ADVISORIES FOR THE INLAND EMPIRE...SANTA ANA
MOUNTAINS/FOOTHILLS AND INLAND ORANGE COUNTY REMAIN THE SAME.

OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...LINDA WILL WEAKEN AND MOVE NORTHWEST...WITH
LOW-TO-MID LEVEL WINDS BECOMING MORE EAST TO SOUTHEAST...AND
CONTINUALLY HIGHER MOISTURE ADVECTING INTO THE REGION. ON
THURSDAY...THE WRF INDICATES 700-500 MB WIND OF 15-20 KT OUT OF THE
EAST...AND THERE IS SOME INSTABILITY INDICATED BY THE GFS BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS AT THE COAST. THUS...WE COULD SEE THUNDERSTORMS PUSH ALL
THE WAY TO THE COAST THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. THE INLAND
EMPIRE MAY HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...AS
THE WRF DOES NOT SHOW MUCH OF A CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY SETTING UP NEAR
ELSINORE. HOWEVER...THE WRF DOES SHOW A BETTER CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY
SETTING UP IN THAT AREA ON WEDNESDAY...SO THAT WOULD INDICATE A
BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE INLAND EMPIRE FOR THAT DAY.

BY TOMORROW...MODELS INDICATE PRECIPITABLE WATER INCREASING TO 1.9
INCHES...AND POSSIBLY NEAR 2 INCHES ON THURSDAY. THE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BRING AN INCREASED FLASH FLOOD THREAT. BY FRIDAY...THE GFS
KEEPS THE REMNANT CIRCULATION FROM LINDA CLOSER TO THE COAST THAN
THE OTHER MODELS...AND SO PRECIPITABLE WATER DOES NOT DECREASE
MUCH...WHILE THE NAM12 AND SREF HAVE THE LINDA CIRCULATION FARTHER
TO THE SOUTHWEST...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER DECREASING TO 1.5-1.7
INCHES. THE GFS CONTINUES TO KEEP A FAIR AMOUNT OF MOISTURE IN THE
AREA SATURDAY...AND POSSIBLY ENOUGH SUNDAY AS WELL FOR SOME
THUNDERSTORMS OF THE MOUNTAINS AND POSSIBLY DESERTS. HAVE ADDED
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY FOR THE MOUNTAINS. MEANWHILE...NIGHT AND MORNING
MARINE LAYER STRATUS SHOULD REMAIN ABSENT FOR A WHILE...DUE TO THE
RIDGE AND INTERFERENCE FROM ALL OF THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE.

GRADUAL COOLING LOOKS TO TAKE PLACE FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK
AS THE RIDGE ALOFT SLOWLY WEAKENS AND A TROUGH EVENTUALLY MOVES IN
ALONG THE WEST COAST EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
082015Z...COAST...NO VIS RESTRICTIONS WILL OCCUR THROUGH WED WITH
OCCASIONAL CLOUDS ABOVE 10000 FEET MSL.

VALLEYS/MOUNTAINS/DESERTS...THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
03Z...MOST NUMEROUS OVER THE MOUNTAINS...BUT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
COULD OCCUR IN THE DESERTS AND VALLEY FOOTHILLS. BASES WILL BE 8000
FT MSL WITH TOPS TO 45000 FT MSL POSSIBLE...WITH STRONG
UP/DOWNDRAFTS...HAIL...AND LOCAL SURFACE GUSTS OVER 40 KT. THERE IS
A CHANCE OF VCNTY THUNDERSTORMS AT KPSP/KTRM. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
LIKELY DEVELOP IN THE SAME AREAS WED AFTERNOON. OUTSIDE OF
THUNDERSTORMS...NO VIS RESTRICTIONS WILL OCCUR...AND MOST CLOUDS
WILL BE ABOVE 8000 FEET MSL.

&&

.MARINE...
115 PM...THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST. OTHERWISE...NO
HAZARDOUS MARINE WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.BEACHES...
115 PM...THE LONG-PERIOD SOUTHWEST SWELL WILL GRADUALLY LOWER THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING BUT CONTINUE TO PRODUCE ELEVATED SURF AND STRONG
RIP AND LONGSHORE CURRENTS. THE BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IS IN EFFECT
FOR ORANGE COUNTY BEACHES THROUGH 8 PM THIS EVENING...SEE LAXCFWSGX
FOR DETAILS. FOR MORE SURF DETAILS SEE LAXSRFSGX. A NEW SOUTH
SOUTHEAST SWELL COMING FROM HURRICANE LINDA WILL ARRIVE THURSDAY AND
WILL BRING SOME 5-7 FOOT SURF...LOCALLY HIGHER...IN NORTHERN ORANGE
COUNTY THU/FRI.

ALSO...THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AT THE BEACHES
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH THURSDAY FOR THE
MOUNTAINS...DESERTS AND PORTIONS OF THE INLAND EMPIRE...AS THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN MOIST AND UNSTABLE THROUGH THAT TIME. THIS
WILL CREATE THE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN. THE
WINDS ALOFT WILL BE LIGHT AS WELL...RESULTING IN SLOW MOVING STORMS
WHICH WILL INCREASE THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING FURTHER. RAIN RATES
OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR WILL BE POSSIBLE UNDERNEATH THE HEAVIER
STORMS. THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT STARTS TO DIMINISH FRIDAY INTO THE
WEEKEND AS MOISTURE SLOWLY DECREASES.

&&

.SKYWARN...
SKYWARN ACTIVATION IS REQUESTED FOR SAN DIEGO...RIVERSIDE AND SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTIES. ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED FOR SIMILAR AREAS AND
