Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 940 PM PST Fri Jan 12 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Fair weather Saturday will be followed by more clouds and perhaps a few light showers Sunday, but most areas will be dry. Early next week high pressure building over the Southwest will bring dry weather and a warming trend. && .DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE... SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES... Mostly clear and cold again tonight with light winds and scattered high clouds. Patchy frost will form again in the coldest valleys, but not as widespread as the last few nights. A short wave west of Washington this evening will bring rain and mountain snow to Oregon and northern California Saturday, then weaken Saturday night and move down the California interior Sunday. Almost all of the precipitation will be wrung out of the atmosphere north of Pt Conception, with very little precipitation reaching Southern California. The best chances for light showers will be over San Diego County on Sunday where moisture advection will be greatest. Even with the weak moisture advection, there really isn't any strong lifting mechanism to generate widespread showers, and this is borne out by the small QPF values in the high resolution models. Most areas north of San Diego County will receive no precipitation. Next week, upper ridging over the West will bring gradual warming through Friday when highs will climb into the 70s in the coastal, valley and lower desert zones, the 60s in the high deserts, and the 50s and 60s in the mountains. && .AVIATION... 130445Z...FEW-SCT clouds AOA 20,000 ft MSL through tonight and Saturday across the region. High confidence in low clouds staying well offshore overnight. Low to moderate confidence on cigs 1500- 2000 ft MSL impacting coastal TAF sites after 06Z Sun with slight chance of -SHRA across SD County. && .MARINE... Northwest winds gusting 20-25 kt possible over the outer coastal waters Saturday night through Sunday afternoon, creating conditions hazardous to small craft. && .SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...None. PZ...None. && PUBLIC...Moede AVIATION/MARINE...APR
