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

THE PERSISTENT RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WEST COAST
CONTINUES THE WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS TODAY. DAYTIME TEMPS ARE
SEVERAL DEGREES HIGHER THAN THIS TIME YESDERDAY AND RECORDS ARE
LIKELY TO BE BROKEN IN MANY AREAS.

THE RIDGE BEGINS TO WEAKEN TONIGHT AS A STRONG PACIFIC STORM
APPROACHES THE WEST COAST. THE CENTER OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL MOVE INLAND TO OUR NORTH WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD. WITH
THE APPROACHING STORM...HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS ARE INDICATING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL EDDY TONIGHT WITH INCREASING SFC MOISTURE
MOVING INTO THE COASTAL AREAS LATE TONIGHT INTO WED MORNING. THIS
WILL LIKELY BRING A RETURN OF COASTAL LOW CLOUDS AND COULD RESULT
IN PATCHES OF DENSE FOG ALONG THE COAST AND ON THE COASTAL MESAS
LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WED MORNING. AS THE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
CONTINUES TO MOVE EASTWARD...IT WILL BRING ONSHORE FLOW...LOWER
TEMPERATURES AND INCREASING CLOUDS FOR WED. DAYTIME TEMPS ON WED
COULD BE AS MUCH AS 10-15 DEGREES LOWER THAN TODAY.

WED NIGHT AND THU...THE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL BRING EVEN MORE
COOLING...STRONG SW TO WEST WINDS...AND A CHANCE FOR PRECIP OVER
AND WEST OF THE MTNS. PRECIP WILL MOVE IN FROM THE NW LATE WED AND
COULD LINGER THROUGH THU AFTERNOON. RAIN TOTALS COULD RANGE FROM
LESS THAN 0.10 INCH NEAR THE COAST TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH
ALONG THE SLOPES OF THE SAN BERNARDINO MTNS WHERE MOST OF THE
PRECIP IS EXPECTED. SMALLER AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED FARTHER SOUTH IN
SAN DIEGO COUNTY. LITTLE IF ANY PRECIP IS EXPECTED IN THE DESERTS.
WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST WED MORNING...PEAK
WED NIGHT/THU MORNING THEN GRADUALLY WEAKEN LATE THU. STRONGEST
WINDS WILL BE IN THE MTNS AND ADJACENT DESERT AREAS WHERE WIND
GUSTS OF 55-65 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE.

DRY AND GRADUALLY WARMER FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY IN WEAK SW FLOW
ALOFT AS A WEAKER LOW PRESSURE TROUGH MOVES INLAND ACROSS THE PAC
NW. WARMER STILL FOR MONDAY AND TUE WITH HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER THE
WEST COAST AND WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW.
