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

This evening...The marine layer is about as deep as yesterday,
with low clouds and fog increasing in coverage along the coast and
over the coastal waters. High-resolution models indicate low
clouds and fog with a little more areal coverage than last
night/this morning. There will be about a 40-60 percent chance of
dense patchy dense fog on elevated coastal terrain.

From previous discussion...
Winds will likely strengthen in the mountains and high deserts for
the afternoon and evening tomorrow (Thursday). Strongest winds
will be through Banning Pass, with gusts possibly over 50 mph at
times going into late evening tomorrow. At this time, there is
still not enough in the way of widespread winds reaching
thresholds to warrant the issuance of a Wind Advisory, although
after decoupling a bit Thursday night into Friday morning, they
will strengthen again by Friday afternoon.

Low clouds are going to regather and fill back in during the evening
hours, and some of the inland areas will see patchy fog as well.
These clouds should begin to lift slightly and thicken by Friday
morning ahead of the next approaching low pressure trough. There
will be a slight chance of drizzle for Friday night into Saturday
morning.

Models continue to show the ridge breaking down after today and
leading to temperatures becoming cooler and closer to the
seasonal average by this weekend. Saturday will likely be the
coolest day for the next week, then it will be slightly warmer on
Sunday as a weak transient ridge moves over the region. The ridge
will shift east and weaken, and troughing upstream over the
Pacific Northwest will continue to advance towards SoCal and
allow for the increase of the marine layer and slightly cooler
temperatures as a result, closer to the average, and this slight
cooling trend will continue over the weekend. Low clouds will
continue to stick around for most of the coastal areas and
portions of the inland valleys, especially on Saturday. By the
early part of next week, a weak upper level low could move down
the over California and reinforce a some cooler temperatures with
a slight chance of precipitation, mainly west of the mtns.
