Area forecast discussion, Mar 30, 10:39 AM PDT, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Diego CA 1039 AM PDT Mon Mar 30 2026 .SYNOPSIS... Onshore flow will strengthen through Wednesday with stronger and gusty southwest to west winds for the mountains and deserts each afternoon and evening. Wind gusts to 35 to 45 mph into Tuesday evening, and to 45 to 55 mph for late Tuesday night into Wednesday are likely. Onshore flow will also spread cooling farther inland through Wednesday, with high temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday within a few degrees of average. There is a chance of light showers late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Friday through next weekend will be warmer and drier with high temperatures warming to 10 to 15 degrees above average for inland areas next Sunday. && .DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE... SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES... This morning...The marine layer is about 1500 ft deep and there was locally dense fog on portions of the coastal mesas. Low clouds and fog had extended about 10 miles inland earlier this morning but is now clearing and will likely clear to the beaches by noon but could linger there into this afternoon. High temperatures today will likely be noticeably lower than yesterday especially west of the mountains in those areas influenced by the marine layer. From previous discussion... A low pressure system moving across the eastern Pacific will move inland through southern California late Tuesday. Onshore flow will strengthen into Wednesday. Southwest to west winds will be strongest for the mountains and deserts during the afternoons and evenings with gusts 35 to 45 mph for today and Tuesday, and gusts to 45 to 55 mph for late Tuesday night and Wednesday. Cooling will spread inland through Wednesday, with Wednesday high temperatures falling to within a few degrees of average, ranging from the upper 60s to around 70 near the coast to the lower to mid 70s for the valleys and inland Orange County with the lower deserts in the 80s. There is a chance of light showers for late Tuesday into Wednesday morning for Orange and southwestern San Bernardino Counties from the coast to the mountains with a slight chance for San Diego County and western Riverside County from the mountains westward. For the San Bernardino County mountains, one-tenth inch or less to locally one-qaurter inch is possible. Elsewhere from the coast to the mountains, a few hundredths of an inch or less is expected. The snow level will be mostly above 8000 to 8500 feet through Tuesday night, lowering to around 7500 feet Wednesday morning. Friday through Monday... There will be drying with warming for Friday through next weekend. High temperatures will warm to 10 to 15 degrees above average for inland areas next Sunday. High temperatures for next Sunday will range from the lower to mid 70s near the coast to the mid to upper 80s for the Inland Empire with the lower deserts in the 90s. && .AVIATION... 301730Z...Low clouds near 1000-1500 ft MSL will slowly clear coastal areas 18-20Z, though some low clouds may stick around within 5 miles of the coastline the entire afternoon with moderate confidence on coverage. Low clouds will push much further inland tonight after 00Z Tue, reaching parts of the Inland Empire after 06Z Tue. Bases will be higher around 800-1200 feet MSL with vis reductions for higher inland terrain. Above and beyond the marine layer, VFR conditions will prevail today and tonight. High clouds will increase and lower to about 150000 feet MSL tonight into Tuesday. && .MARINE...No hazardous marine conditions expected through Wednesday. Northwest winds increase Thursday to near 20 kts. && .SKYWARN... Skywarn activation is not requested. However weather spotters are encouraged to report significant weather conditions. && .SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...None. PZ...None. && PUBLIC...JGM/PG AVIATION/MARINE...APR
