AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
936 PM PST MON DEC 21 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
COOL AND UNSETTLED WEATHER WITH SHOWERS AT TIMES TONIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...ALONG WITH GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
DRY LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY...THEN COOLING...GUSTY
WEST WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS...AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. DRY WITH STRONG NORTH TO NORTHEAST
WINDS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. MORE PRECIP POSSIBLE NEXT MONDAY.

&&

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

.SYNOPSIS...

THIS EVENING...VERY WEAK ECHOES HAVE APPEARED ON RADAR OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS AND LIGHT PRECIP WAS REPORTED AS CLOSE AS SOUTHERN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY...HOWEVER MOST OF THE ORGANIZED PRECIP REMAINS
OVER CENTRAL CALIFORNIA.

THIS PRECIP IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST OF SEVERAL SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS EMBEDDED IN MOIST NW FLOW UPSTREAM OF A LONGWAVE TROUGH
OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. AND DOWNSTREAM OF A BROAD RIDGE OVER THE
EAST PACIFIC.

FOR TONIGHT THROUGH WED...THESE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL BRING
PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS TO SOCAL. WITH AMPLE
MOISTURE BUT WEAK DYNAMIC FORCING AND STRONG WESTERLY FLOW IN THE
LOW TO MID LEVELS...WE CAN EXPECT MOST OF THE PRECIP TO BE FOCUSED
ON THE COASTAL SLOPES OF THE RIVERSIDE AND SAN DIEGO COUNTY
MOUNTAINS DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF STRONG OROGRAPHIC FORCING. ONLY
MINOR ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY IN LOWER TERRAIN WEST OF THE
MTNS...AND IN THE DESERTS. THE JET STREAM WILL LIKELY REMAIN TO
OUR NORTH SO LITTLE IN THE WAY OF COLD AIR IS EXPECTED...KEEPING
SNOW LEVELS MOSTLY ABOVE 7000 FT. THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL
ALSO BRING GUSTY WINDS...MAINLY IN THE MTNS AND ON ADJACENT DESERT
SLOPES.

FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH STRONGEST GUSTS EXPECTED DURING THE DAY
ON TUESDAY. WINDS WILL BE 25 TO 35 MPH...GUSTS TO 55 MPH IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND PORTIONS OF THE DESERTS...WITH ISOLATED GUSTS TO 75
MPH ALONG THE HIGHER PEAKS. AREAS OF THE COAST COULD SEE GUSTS
AROUND 35 MPH. SEE LAXNPWSGX FOR THE DETAILS ON THE WIND ADVISORY
IN EFFECT. DRY NW FLOW WILL THEN DEVELOP LATER WEDNESDAY THROUGH
EARLY THURSDAY. HIGHS WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH A DEEP MARINE LATER IN PLACE THROUGH MOST
OF THE PERIOD.

A COLDER LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL DEEPEN ACROSS THE REGION
CHRISTMAS EVE/CHRISTMAS DAY...CREATING CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION
AND BELOW NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.
MOISTURE WILL BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED WITH THIS SYSTEM COMPARED TO
EARLIER THIS WEEK. HOWEVER...SNOW LEVELS WILL BE LOWER...POSSIBLY
REACHING AROUND 3500 FT BY CHRISTMAS. ALTHOUGH THE GFS/ECMWF
CONTINUE TO DISAGREE IN THE TIMING/PRECIP AMOUNTS...LIGHT SHOWERS
LOOK TO DEVELOP EARLY THURSDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY.
STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND
PORTIONS OF THE DESERTS THROUGH THE PERIOD. SATURDAY MORNING WILL
LIKELY BE QUITE CHILLY...WITH FROST POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF THE
VALLEYS.

THE PATTERN QUICKLY CHANGES FOR THE WEEKEND AS UPPER-LEVEL FLOW
SHIFTS NORTH/NORTHEAST AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE
GREAT BASIN. THIS WILL CREATE GUSTY N TO NE WINDS OVER AND BELOW
THE MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE COASTAL FOOTHILLS/INLAND VALLEYS
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. HIGHS WILL RISE TO JUST BELOW
NORMAL BY SUNDAY. PRECIP AND ONSHORE FLOW MAY RETURN AGAIN NEXT
MONDAY WITH ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE TROUGH MOVING IN FROM THE NW.

&&

.AVIATION...
220400Z...STRATUS LAYERS BETWEEN 2000-5000 FT MSL AND PERIODS OF SCT
SHOWERS OVER AND WEST OF THE MTNS THROUGH TUE EVENING. LOCAL CIGS
BLO 1000 FT MSL AND VIS 2-4SM POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER SHOWERS LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH WED MORNING. COASTAL MOUNTAIN SLOPES WILL REMAIN
OBSCURED IN CLOUDS AND PRECIP. AREAS OF SFC WEST WIND GUSTS 30-50
KNOTS WILL DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAIN CRESTS/DESERT MTN SLOPES AND SAN
GORGONIO PASS AFTER 06Z AND CONTINUE THROUGH TUE EVENING.

&&

.MARINE...
815 PM...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN TONIGHT WITH A LARGE SHORT-
PERIOD SWELL DEVELOPING TUESDAY. GUSTS AROUND 30 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE
IN THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS AT TIMES...MAINLY TUESDAY NIGHT TO WED
MORNING. COMBINED SEAS NEAR 10 FEET AND STEEP WAVES WILL RESULT IN
HAZARDOUS BOATING CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT. WINDS AND SEAS
DECREASE SOMEWHAT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN
THURSDAY...CONTINUING FRIDAY. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SEE LAXMWWSGX FOR
MORE DETAILS.

&&

.BEACHES...
0820 PM...TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...ASTRONOMICAL MORNING HIGH
TIDES WILL BE ABOVE 7 FEET...PEAKING THURSDAY MORNING AT 7.6 FEET.
