AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
328 AM PDT WED APR 27 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
FAIR WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TODAY...BUT CLOUDS AND WINDS WILL
INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH MOVES
INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION AND
STRONG WINDS WILL HIT PARTS OF THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY. FAIR WEATHER WILL PREVAIL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
ANOTHER TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. FAIR AND WARMER WEATHER
WILL RETURN NEXT WEEK.

&&

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

CLOUDS ARE HARD TO SPOT THIS MORNING BUT A FEW LOW CLOUDS HAVE
APPEARED OVER THE OCEAN AND SOME HIGH CLOUDS ARE INCREASING FROM
THE NORTH. FAIR BUT COOL WEATHER WILL PREVAIL TODAY AS WE GET
READY FOR A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING DOWN THE COAST. THIS
SYSTEM WILL INCREASE CLOUDS AND WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
LEADING TO SOME SHOWERS TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THERE IS ALSO JUST
ENOUGH COLD AIR ALOFT TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE FOR A CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY FAR INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOONS. SHOWERS
WILL BE CONVECTIVE AND VERY SPOTTY SO AMOUNTS WILL RANGE FROM
NOTHING TO OVER A HALF INCH. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE QUITE HIGH BUT A
COUPLE INCHES COULD ACCUMULATE IN THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS. WESTERLY
WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST THIS EVENING INTO THURSDAY MORNING...AND
ALONG RIDGETOPS AND DESERT SLOPES OF RIVERSIDE AND SAN DIEGO
COUNTIES. TOP GUSTS WILL EXCEED 50 MPH. ENOUGH MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY REMAIN FOR SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTORMS THURSDAY
MAINLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE SYSTEM MOVES OUT AND WE WILL HAVE
FAIR WEATHER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH SOME SORT OF COASTAL EDDY
AND AREAS OF COASTAL LOW CLOUDS NIGHTS AND MORNINGS. THE NEXT
TROUGH DIVES DOWN FROM THE NORTH...A MORE INTERIOR TRACK...AND
HEADS INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SATURDAY. MOISTURE IS LACKING BUT
DYNAMICS COULD SQUEEZE OUT A FEW SHOWERS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
MORNING MOST LIKELY IN THE MOUNTAINS. IT WILL BRING SOME STRONG
WINDS TO THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS TOO. DRY NORTHWEST FLOW WILL
FOLLOW SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY FOR FAIR AND WARMER WEATHER. AN
UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFIES QUITE WELL NEXT TUESDAY FOR A BOOST IN
WARMTH. A BIG TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE OCEAN AROUND THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK THAT COULD DRAW MOISTURE AND SHOWERS INTO OUR REGION
LATER NEXT WEEK.
