AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
915 PM PST MON FEB 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
SOME PATCHY DENSE FOG IS POSSIBLE NEAR THE COAST OVERNIGHT INTO
TUESDAY MORNING ASSOCIATED WITH A SHALLOW MARINE LAYER. AFTER THE
LOW CLOUDS CLEAR TUESDAY MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL PREVAIL AS A SANTA
ANA WIND EVENT DEVELOPS...AND CONTINUES INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL MOST AREAS WEST OF THE HIGHER
MOUNTAINS THROUGH FRIDAY. INCREASING CLOUDS AND COOLER ON THE
WEEKEND AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

&&

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

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ACTUALLY SHOWS SOME SCARY LOOKING STORMS MOVING
EAST IN THE JET STREAM...BUT WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA. THE ONLY EFFECT
ON US HAS BEEN THE BUMP UP IN NORTHWEST WINDS TODAY. THE LOCAL WRF
LOOKS LIKE THERE IS STILL SOME DECENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HANGING
AROUND IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER TONIGHT FOR SOME POSSIBLE PATCHY DENSE
COASTAL FOG FOR THE REGION.

ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT STARTS
NOSING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. SURFACE GRADIENTS BEGIN TO TREND
OFFSHORE FOR WARMING CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE HIGHER
MOUNTAINS.

LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...THE GFS ENSEMBLE SHOWS THE LOW
DROPPING SOUTH...THEN RETROGRADING TO THE WEST SOUTH OF THE UPPER
HIGH. BOTH THE EC AND GFS SHOW THE RETROGRADING LOW...WITH THE EC
AS THE DEEPER MODEL FOR LATE THURSDAY. THIS SHOULD BRING RATHER
STRONG WINDS TO THE REGION. BUFKIT SHOWS ABOUT A 30 KNOT JET AT
AROUND 850 MB OVER KNKX FOR UPPER SUPPORT. A MASSIVE 1050 MB HIGH
DROPS INTO THE CONUS FROM THE YUKON...AND PRESSURES RISE TO AROUND
1035 OVER THE PLATEAU FOR SURFACE SUPPORT. WITH SUCH GOOD SUPPORT AT
ALL LEVELS...I FIND IT HARD TO ARGUE AGAINST A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR
THE REGION. MOST LIKELY FOR THE MIDDAY WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
TIME FRAME.

THE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BRING GOOD WARMING IN THE VALLEYS AND COASTAL
AREAS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...AND CLEAR OUT THE MARINE LAYER. BY
FRIDAY...CONDITIONS GET QUITE WARM FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...WITH
DAY-TIME HIGHS 10-15 DEGREES...AND LOCALLY 20 DEGREES...ABOVE NORMAL
FOR THE MOUNTAINS...VALLEYS AND DESERTS...AND 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL IN THE DESERTS.

THE RETROGRADING LOW COULD LIFT NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
AND ARIZONA ON SUNDAY.

&&

AVIATION...
100430Z...COAST AND VALLEYS...SCT-BKN LOW CLOUDS AND FOG MAY RETURN
TO THE COAST AND FAR WESTERN VALLEYS AFTER 08Z. COASTAL SAN DIEGO
COUNTY HAS THE BEST CHANCE FOR LOW CLOUDS/FOG FROM 08-17Z...WITH
POSSIBLE IMPACTS FOR KSAN AND KCRQ. CIG/VIS RESTRICTIONS ARE LESS
LIKELY AT KSNA...BUT STILL POSSIBLE BETWEEN 11Z AND 16Z. ANY LOW
CLOUDS THAT FORM WILL HAVE BASES IN THE 500 AND 900 FT MSL RANGE AND
TOPS OF 800 TO 1100 FT MSL. CLEARING TO THE COAST WILL OCCUR BY
18Z...WITH SLOWEST CLEARING OVER COASTAL SAN DIEGO COUNTY. OVERALL
CONFIDENCE IN THE RETURN OF LOW CLOUDS IS LOW TO MODERATE. SKC TO
FEW AOA 25000 FT MSL WILL PREVAIL TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS...SKC TO FEW AOA 25000 FT MSL WITH
UNRESTRICTED VIS THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING.

.MARINE...
830 PM...A LARGE WEST NORTHWEST SWELL AND NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING 20
TO 25 KT WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE COMBINED SEAS NEAR 10 FT THROUGH
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. STRONGEST WINDS AND HIGHEST SWELL WILL OCCUR
OVER THE OUTER WATERS NEAR SAN CLEMENTE ISLAND. WINDS WILL DECREASE
RAPIDLY TUESDAY MORNING...FALLING BELOW 10 KTS BY NOON. THE SWELL
WILL HOLD ON LONGER...HOVERING BETWEEN 5 AND 8 FT TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN FALLING TO 3 TO 5 FT ON WEDNESDAY. DUE TO ONGOING
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT
THROUGH 4 AM TUESDAY.

&&

.BEACHES...
830 PM...THE 8-10 FT WEST NORTHWEST SWELL AT 14 SEC THAT BROUGHT
HIGH SURF TO THE BEACHES TODAY WILL PEAK DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...THEN DECREASE THROUGH THE DAY ON TUESDAY. BY TUESDAY EVENING
THE SWELL SHOULD DECLINE TO 5-7 FT AT 13 SEC. WITH THIS TREND IN
MIND...EXPECT SURF TO FALL BELOW HIGH SURF ADVISORY CRITERIA BY
TUESDAY EVENING. WEST FACING BEACHES WILL SEE SETS TO 6-8 FT TUESDAY
MORNING AND 5-7 FT TUESDAY AFTERNOON...WITH LOCAL SETS TO 10 FT
NORTH OF NEWPORT BEACH AND SOUTH OF DEL MAR. A HIGH SURF ADVISORY
