Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Diego CA
142 PM PDT Thu Aug 1 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak area of low pressure moving through the region will bring a
chance for many through this evening. A ridge of high pressure
over the desert southwest will continue to usher in monsoonal
moisture through early next week. This will bring a chance for
daily storms across the mountains and deserts with warm and humid
conditions for the region, peaking early next week. The marine
layer will be thin with night and morning low clouds and fog near
the coast and far western valleys.

&&

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

.SHORT TERM (Through the Weekend)...
The weak area of low pressure continues to push westward this
afternoon, leading to some clearing of higher clouds across the
mountains and deserts. In its wake, daytime heating with moisture
and instability has led to some cumulus build ups across the
mountains and adjacent deserts. Weak pulses have been observed on
radar where small areas of showers and weak storms have occurred.
Sheer may the most inhibiting factor today, limiting how strong
the storms are able to build. Some of these storms in the
mountains may push westward and provide rainfall to areas west of
the mountains this afternoon and evening but chances are low at
this time. Low clouds will have a tougher time forming near the
coast tonight as higher clouds may disrupt the marine layer.

Monsoonal moisture will remain in place, but in more normal
SoCal fashion with southeast flow in place and small chances
across the mountains and adjacent deserts. As the ridge of high
pressure over Texas moves westward toward the Four Corners region,
warmer temperatures will felt across the area. By Friday,
temperatures will be about 5 degrees warmer than they are today
for many. Temperatures will slowly increase this weekend with a
drier atmosphere in place per latest PWAT ensemble guidance.
Central portions have a 50-70% chance of seeing highs of at least
105 degrees by this weekend.Saturday looks to be the driest day
overall. Mountain chances for storms look minimal (10-15%) each
afternoon by this weekend. The marine layer will keep the coastal
areas cooler with low clouds and patchy morning fog, but highs
quickly increasing away from the coast is also expected.

&&

.LONG TERM (Next Monday and Beyond)...
The high will flatten out a bit with even higher heights by early
next Monday and Tuesday as 850 mb temps reach near 31-32C. This is
when the peak of the heating is expected over SoCal. By Monday,
inland valleys, mountains, and deserts can expect temperatures up
to 10 degrees above normal. NBM projects near a 70% chance of
seeing temperatures over 115 in Palm Springs Sunday through
Tuesday. For the Inland Empire, temperatures above 105 have about
20-40% chance of occurring for areas near Riverside by early next
week. Most areas will stay in the 70s near the coast, quickly
rising into the 80s five miles or so inland by early next week.
Per latest model ensembles, the ridge will slowly break down
starting around next Wednesday into the latter part of next week.
This will decrease chances of rain over the mountains and bring
not as hot and humid conditions elsewhere.

.AVIATION...
012000Z...Coast/Valleys...Mid and high clouds moving offshore
with SCT-BKN Cu over the mountains and valleys with bases to
