AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA
330 AM PDT WED JUN 1 2005
.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL
CONTINUE LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS DURING THE
NIGHTS AND MORNINGS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE COULD BE LOCAL
DRIZZLE FROM A DEEP MARINE LAYER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY MORNINGS. LOCAL
GUSTY WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS AT TIMES. OTHERWISE...FAIR.
&&
.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES.
WEAK COASTAL EDDY HAS DEVELOPED AS FORECAST BY THE NAM. EXTENSIVE
STRATUS FIELD OVER THE COASTAL WATERS EXTENDS INLAND INTO THE LOWER
COASTAL VALLEYS. STRATUS SHOULD GRAUDUALLY SPREAD INTO THE INLAND
VALLEYS THROUGH SUNRISE. NAM SHOWS A STRONGER COASTAL EDDY TONIGHT
INTO FRIDAY. THIS SHOULD BRING ADDITIONAL DEEPENING OF THE MARINE
LAYER WITH LOW CLOUDS EXTENDING ONTO THE LOWER COASTAL SLOPES DURING
THE LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS. THE UPPER LOW MOVING INTO
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL STRENGTHEN THE ONSHORE FLOW OVER SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA BRINGING GUSTY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WINDS TO THE
MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS TODAY AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL ALSO BRING SOME
MINOR COOLING FOR INLAND AREAS.
EXTENDED MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH AN UPPER LOW MOVING
INLAND INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK. BROAD LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE WEST WILL MAINTAIN A FAIRLY DEEP MARINE LAYER...
SUFFICIENT FOR LOW CLOUDS TO REACH THE INLAND VALLEYS...THROUGH MUCH
OF NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES NEAR THE COAST WILL BE NEAR SEASONAL
LEVELS WITH INLAND TEMPERATURES A LITTLE UNDER SEASONAL AVERAGES.
&&
.AVIATION...LARGE SWATH OF STRATUS COVERS THE BIGHT AND EXTENDS
INLAND ACROSS ORANGE COUNTY AND THE SAN DIEGO VALLEYS. EDGES OF THE
2000 FT DEEP MARINE LAYER ARE CREEPING INTO THE INLAND EMPIRE FROM
THE WEST NEAR ONTARIO AND FROM THE SOUTH NEAR TEMECULA...AND WILL
COVER THE INLAND EMPIRE BY SUNRISE. CLOUD BASE IS 1500 FEET MSL WITH
TOPS 2000 TO 2500 FEET. SLOW CLEARING OF THE STRATUS EXPECTED TODAY.
IT WILL RETURN AND DEEPEN FURTHER TONIGHT.
