AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
300 AM PDT WED APR 13 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
FAIR SKIES AND SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
THURSDAY...WITH AREAS OF NIGHT AND MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WEST
OF THE MOUNTAINS. LOW PRESSURE DIVING SOUTH OVER THE GREAT BASIN
WILL INCREASE THE ONSHORE FLOW THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...BEFORE TURNING
NORTHERLY OVER THE WEEKEND. THE WINDS WILL BECOME QUITE STRONG OVER
THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS BEFORE TRENDING OFFSHORE AND WEAKENING
LATE IN THE WEEKEND. FAIR AND WARM WEATHER WILL PREVAIL EARLY NEXT
WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE REGION.

&&

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

LOW CLOUDS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS THIS MORNING
BUT ARE STILL SOMEWHAT PATCHY. ELSEWHERE SKIES WERE MOSTLY CLEAR.
LOW CLOUDS WILL CLEAR BY MID-MORNING WITH FAIR WEATHER PREVAILING
THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. HIGH TEMPS WILL REMAIN RIGHT AROUND NORMAL
UNDER WEAK RIDGING ALOFT.

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE INLAND ACROSS THE PAC NW ON
THURSDAY BEFORE DIGGING SOUTH THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN AND INTO
ARIZONA ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL BRING SOME COOLING...ESPECIALLY ON
FRIDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS AS COLD AIR IS ADVECTED IN FROM
THE NORTH. THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE WIND. ONSHORE
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS BEGIN TO INCREASE THURSDAY
MORNING...PEAKING AT AROUND 7 MB SAN-IPL WITH 700 AND 850 MB WINDS
OF 30-40 KT ON THU AFTERNOON. THIS WILL GENERATE STRONG GUSTY WEST
WINDS OVER PORTIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. PEAK GUSTS LOOK
LIKE THEY WILL BE IN THE 50-60 MPH RANGE...THOUGH ISOLATED HIGHER
GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE WHERE MOUNTAIN WAVES SURFACE IN THE DESERT. WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT TO THE NORTH ON FRIDAY...INCREASING FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AS OFFSHORE GRADIENTS STRENGTHEN AND A SHORT WAVE BEGINS
TO DIVE DOWN THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW. GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL SPREAD
INTO PORTIONS OF THE INLAND EMPIRE BY SATURDAY. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO
WEAKEN BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED.

THE UPPER LOW IS SLOW TO MOVE EAST...BUT MINOR HEIGHT RISES AND WEAK
OFFSHORE FLOW SHOULD HELP WARM THINGS UP SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS.
