AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
831 AM PST FRI JAN 22 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS AND A LITTLE COOLER TODAY UNDER WEAKENING
HIGH PRESSURE. TONIGHT...MORE PATCHY FOG IS EXPECTED UNDER PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES. THEN FOR SATURDAY...A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH MOVING
INLAND THROUGH CALIFORNIA WILL BRING COOLING AND A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DRY AND WARMER WEATHER WILL RETURN
FOR MUCH NEXT WEEK AS A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE
WEST...AND WEAK TO MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS.

&&

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

SOME PATCHY DENSE FOG WAS REPORTED EARLY THIS MORNING OVER ORANGE
AND PORTIONS OF WESTERN SAN DIEGO COUNTY. OTHERWISE...HIGHER CLOUDS
COVERED MUCH OF CENTRAL CA AND OFFSHORE. SOME OF THESE WERE DRIFTING
INTO SOCAL THIS MORNING. SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS WERE TRENDING
ONSHORE...BUT REMAINED WEAKLY OFFSHORE AS OF 8 AM PST. WINDS WERE
GENERALLY LIGHT. THE 12Z MIRAMAR SOUNDING HAD SFC-BASED INVERSION.
WINDS WERE LIGHT AND VARIABLE BELOW 3K FT MSL...VEERING TO SW AT 20-
25 KT ABOVE THROUGH 12K FT.

EXPECT ANOTHER FINE MIDWINTER DAY ACROSS THE SOUTHLAND AS
HIGH CLOUDS GRADUALLY INCREASE FROM THE NW. THIS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE NIGHT...WHICH MAY HAMPER FOG FORMATION TO SOME DEGREE...
HOWEVER SOME FOG IS STILL LIKELY TO FORM TO THE SFC MOISTURE
AVAILABLE AND VERY WEAK FLOW. FOR SATURDAY...CLOUDS WILL THICKEN AND
LOWER FURTHER WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS EXPECTED BY AFTERNOON OVER
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA.

THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION IS EASTBOUND TODAY AHEAD
OF A WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE TROUGH APPROACHING THE COAST. MOST OF
THE ENERGY AND PRECIP WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BU ACROSS THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE STATE...WEAKENING AS IT MOVES SE INTO THE GREAT BASIN.
SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED BY AFTERNOON OVER NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA ON SAT...DRIFTING INTO SAN DIEGO COUNTY BY
EVENING AND DISSIPATING BEFORE SUN MORNING.

IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH...ANOTHER...WEAKER SYSTEM WILL SLIDE SOUTH
OVER THE STATE SUN NIGHT. NO PRECIP IS EXPECTED OVER THE REGION WITH
THIS TROUGH...BUT AS IT PASSES...OFFSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP AS A
STRONGER AND MORE PERSISTENT RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER THE EASTPAC AND THE
SW U.S. THE COMBINATION OF OFFSHORE FLOW AND INCREASING THICKNESS
VALUES WILL PUSH DAYTIME HIGH TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE
MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE STILL SUGGESTS TROUGHING OF SUFFICIENT
MAGNITUDE FOR SOME MODERATE PRECIP ACROSS SOCAL BY THE END OF THE
MONTH. AT THIS TIME THE 00Z ECMWF IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH THE
TROUGH WHICH IS JUST BEYOND THIS FORECAST PERIOD.
