346 AM PDT Sun Mar 20 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
Showers will come to an end this morning and abundant sunshine
will return as a storm system exits to the east. Upper ridging
will slowly build in from the west throughout the work week ahead.
This will result in significant warming with a few record highs
possible. Weak to moderate Santa Ana winds will develop tonight
and prevail through mid week. As temperatures warm and humidity
drops, elevated fire weather conditions will occur along the
coastal mountain slopes where northeast winds will be gustiest.
A large upper trough will develop next weekend off the U.S. West
coast and this will lead to gradual cooling and as this trough
moves inland, could deliver precipitation to the region early
next week as we close out March.
&&
.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...
-Key Points-
* Gusty west winds mountains/deserts will become northerly today
* Santa Ana winds tonight-Monday and will continue into mid week
* Significant warming this week with a few record highs possible
* Cooling next weekend; Precipitation possible beginning March 28
An upper trough is currently moving across Southern California.
This has delivered a round of shower from the coast to the
mountains. The showers are currently focused over San Diego
County. Showers will gradually wind down this morning with
clearing skies from the north making for abundant sunshine this
afternoon. See rainfall summary headlined on our webpage for
rainfall totals. Palomar Mountain is the winner in the rain
department with 0.56" so far.
A strong upper ridge will slowly build into California from the
Pacific during the work week. This will lead to significant
warming with highs soaring to 10-15 degrees above normal, possibly
as high as 20 degrees above normal at a few locales west of the
mountains mid week. A few record highs will be possible. Full
sunshine is expected throughout the work week ahead.
Santa Ana conditions will be in control this coming week, once
west winds shift to northerly this afternoon. Gusty winds will
develop along the coastal mountain slopes of the San Bernardino
County mountains, extending into the Inland Empire below the Cajon
Pass to the Santa Ana mountains tonight through Monday with gusts
of 30-40 mph, locally to 50 mph. Weak to moderate Santa Ana winds
will continue through midweek and as temps warm and humidity
falls, elevated fire weather conditions will occur, mainly along
the coastal slopes of the mountains.
The weather pattern will begin to change next weekend as a
longwave trough develops off the U.S. West coast. This will lead
to gradual cooling across Southern California this weekend while
it stays dry. Patchy fog and low clouds will return near the coast
as winds turn back onshore. There are indications in the GFS and
EC and their ensembles of precipitation reaching SoCal as early as
Monday, March 28. Given the potential oceanic trajectory of this
trough, unlike what we have been seeing since January, there is
the potential of more significant rain and mountain snow should
the trough take enough of a southern trajectory early next week.
Something we will be watching over the days ahead.
