...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Elevated surf of 3-5 feet with sets up to 6 feet this
  weekend. Astronomical tides of 6.0-6.5 feet expected, leading 
  to minor tidal overflow.

* WHERE...Beaches of Orange and San Diego Counties.

* WHEN...Through Sunday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Minor tidal overflow and minor coastal erosion
  expected during high tides. Additionally, elevated surf will
  lead to strong rip currents.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides are expected to be around 6.2
  feet today, gradually rising to over 6.5 feet Sunday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A beach hazards statement for minor tidal overflow means that 
high astronomical tides in combination with above normal surf 
will likely produce minor flooding of low-lying areas along the 
beach such as beach parking lots. Coastal officials should take 
the necessary precautionary measures to safeguard their beaches.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service San Diego CA
1118 AM PDT Thu Sep 24 2026

.SYNOPSIS...
Warmer through Saturday with moderate HeatRisk for the coast and
western valleys Friday and Saturday. Night and morning low clouds
and fog will stay confined to the coastal areas for the next few
nights. There is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms over
the mountains this afternoon. Tropical mid and high level
moisture will bring more clouds and cooler temperatures late
weekend early next week. Warming trend after Monday.

&&

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

Ample cloud cover this morning from a very robust and shallower
marine layer, with satellite still showing some inland coverage as
of 11am. Areas of patchy fog were reported, mostly in part thanks to
increasing heights as a weak ridge attempts to take hold of SoCal
and a shortwave trough moves eastward today. The morning sounding
already shows drier air in the mid and upper levels with the
departure of the trough, also evident on mid-level water vapor
satellite with additional subsidence 150 miles southwest of San
Diego. This lack of moisture will be a main limiting factor for
storms in the mountains this afternoon, although a few thunderstorms
remain possible for primarily the San Diego and Riverside County
Mountains. Anything that develops will be diurnally driven and
unlikely to produce flash flooding, with storms ending by sunset.

Southern California will be in a push-and-pull for the remainder of
the week between a deepening low over the PacNW, high pressure over
Texas, and two tropical cyclones in the eastern Pacific. The
aforementioned weak ridge will hold through at least Friday and keep
temperatures well above normal with highs in the 90s for inland and
High Desert, 80s for the coast and mountains, and 100-103 for the
low deserts. Things start to change this weekend as the ridge is
compressed and the high over Texas shifts southward, allowing for
tropical moisture to shift up Baja and into Southern California and
western Arizona. This could mean some very warm morning temperatures
both Saturday and Sunday as the moisture reduces radiational cooling,
and temperatures in the afternoon remain elevated as heights will be
slow to fall. This is likely to bring about some Moderate HeatRisk
for the coastal areas on Saturday with temperatures around 10-12
degrees above normal and warm overnight lows above 71 degrees. A lot
of this will depend heavily on cloud cover associated with the
tropical cyclones well to our south, which could impact peak heating
on Saturday, limiting our warming.

By late weekend, a trough off the aforementioned larger low in the
PacNW will swing down and become a closed low by Monday. This could
help initiate some convection while mixing with the influx of
moisture. For now, much of any precipitation looks to stay east of
the region, as drier air on the backside of the trough looks to push
in as tropical moisture is shunted east of the mountains. Should
SoCal get dry slotted (80-90% confidence), Sunday and Monday would at
least feature cooler weather thanks to the deepening low as it
meanders into Arizona and Utah. Meanwhile, other states in the
Desert SW may experience multiple rounds of precipitation and some
heavy rainfall. At this point, the tracks of Polo and Odalys and
where the larger upper level pattern will be are not conducive to
precipitation for SoCal.

With building high pressure to the west and drier air filter in, the
region will return to a warming trend after Monday along with
quieter weather.

A few impacts that may be observed early next week due to the
tropical cyclones:
-higher humidity for the deserts, especially the low deserts, late
weekend into early next week.
-coastal flooding and coastal erosion, especially for south-facing
beaches, Sunday through Tuesday. Additional details on this can be
found in the Beaches discussion below.

.AVIATION...
241130Z...Coast/Valleys...Low clouds based near 1200 feet MSL will
continue to cover coastal areas and western valleys this morning.
Some inland vis reduced 3-5SM. Scatter out 16-19Z. Low clouds based
around 1000-1200 feet MSL to move ashore after 02Z, but in somewhat
random fashion. Eventually, a very similar areal coverage is
expected by early Friday.

Otherwise...mostly clear today and tonight. Except for SCT cumulus
based near 10 kft over mountains and isolated SHRA/TSRA 20-01Z. Any
storm that develops will be capable of producing gusty, erratic
winds, lightning, and vis reductions.

.MARINE...
No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Monday.
