AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO CA 140 PM PDT SUN SEP 3 2006 .SYNOPSIS...WARM AND INCREASINGLY HUMID WEATHER WILL PERSIST THROUGH TUESDAY AS MOISTURE FROM THE REMNANTS OF JOHN SPREADS NORTH. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL FORM IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS THE NEXT FEW DAYS...AND SOME STORMS COULD DRIFT WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS AT TIMES. A WEAK TROUGH WILL PUSH MOST OF THE MOISTURE TO THE EAST LATER THIS WEEK...BUT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL LIKELY IN THE MOUNTAINS. && UPDATED TO ADD HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK MONDAY AND TUESDAY. .DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE... SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTIES... TEMPERATURES WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS TODAY WERE HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY DUE TO ABSENCE OF MARINE LAYER AND FROM DOWNSLOPE WARMING IN THE LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW. IN CONTRAST...MTN AND DESERTS TEMPS WERE LOWER FROM INCREASED MOISTURE. THE EAST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CIRCULATION AROUND T.S. JOHN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY...AND THE LACK OF MARINE LAYER AND DOWNSLOPING WILL CONTRIBUTE TO WARMER DAYS IN THE COASTAL ZONES. I HAVE INCREASED HIGH TEMPS WEST OF THE MTNS ACCORDINGLY. THUNDERSTORMS FORMED OVER THE MOUNTAINS AROUND 19Z AND SHOWED VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT. VAD WIND PROFILE INDICATED LIGHT NE WINDS ABOVE 7000 FEET SO EXPECT SLOW SOUTHWEST DRIFT TO THE CELLS THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE ATMOSPHERE AND SLOW MOVING STORMS WITH HIGH VERTICAL EXTENT FAVORS VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND FLASH FLOODING. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UP 8 PM TODAY. TROPICAL STORM JOHN WAS WEAKENING OVER THE RUGGED TERRAIN OF THE BAJA PENINSULA AND WILL LIKELY BE DOWNGRADED TO THE TROPICAL DEPRESSION BY THIS EVENING. ITS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO DISCERN ITS CIRCULATION CENTER ON THE IR SATELLITE LOOP. THE FORECAST TRACK IS NORTH-NORTHWEST OVER CENTRAL BAJA...BUT THE MODELS HAVE TRENDED TOO FAR WEST WITH THIS FEATURE. THE 12Z GFS TAKES JOHN UP THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE BAJA PENINSULA...AS DOES THE 12Z ECMWF...AND IT MAY BRIEFLY DRIFT OVER THE WARMER WATERS OF THE SEA OF CORTEZ. THE BLOCKING HIGH FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN 500 MILES WEST OF NORTHERN BAJA ON MONDAY MAY SLOW ITS WESTWARD ADVANCE...OR IT MAY STALL FOR A TIME OVER NORTHERN BAJA. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY...SINCE ANY DEVIATION FROM ITS CURRENT WESTERLY TRACK WILL IMPACT THE PRECIPITATION FORECAST. DEBRIS CLOUD BLOWOFF FROM JOHN IS WELL EAST OF OUR CWA WAY OVER NEW MEXICO. SO EXPECT MAX DAYTIME HEATING TOMORROW AND TUESDAY WITH HIGH INSTABILITY COUPLED WITH COPIOUS MOISTURE LEADING TO ANOTHER ROUND OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS AND FLASH FLOODING. SOME STORMS WILL DRIFT WEST OF THE MTNS AS THE EAST WINDS ALOFT WILL BE STRONGER TOMORROW. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR MONDAY IN THE MTNS AND DESERTS. EXTENDED PERIOD WED-FRI...A WEAK TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE WEST WILL SLIDE DOWN THE COAST AND SHIFT UPPER LEVEL WINDS TO THE NW...REDUCING THE RAIN THREAT WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. THE FLOW WILL BE TOO WEAK FOR SIGNIFICANT DRYING THROUGH A DEEP LAYER...AND THAT WILL KEEP THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS GOING OVER THE MTNS AND DESERTS WED-FRI. && .AVIATION... SCATTERED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THRU 02Z IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. BASES NEAR 7500 FT MSL AND TOPS TO FL450 WITH ASSOCIATED STRONG UDDFS AND TURBULENCE. STRONGER STORMS THIS AFTN COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL WITH GUSTY SURFACE WINDS TO 40 KTS. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH LOCAL HAZE NEAR THE BEACHES. SHALLOW MARINE LAYER HAD VERY MINIMAL IMPACT EARLY THIS MORN...ALMOST NIL LOW CLOUDS/FOG EVEN AT THE BEACHES. FOR TONIGHT AND EARLY MON WITH SOME OFFSHORE WIND COMPONENTS THE COAST COULD EASILY REMAIN COMPLETELY FREE OF STRATUS AND ANY FOG BELOW 3-5SM VSBY. IF ANY STRATUS/FOG DOES MANAGE TO OCCUR IT WOULD BE BRIEFLY BETWEEN 11-15Z MON...PATCHY TO ISOLATED IN EXTENT AND CONFINED CLOSE TO THE IMMEDIATE COAST. && .SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 8 PM TONIGHT...SEE LAXFFASGX. FLASH FLOOD WATCH MONDAY...SEE LAXFFASGX. SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT...SEE LAXSPSSGX. HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SEE LAXSRFSGX.
