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

.SHORT TERM (Today through Friday)...
The marine layer is around 1400 feet deep with not much change in
depth over the past 24 hours. A weak coastal eddy should help to
maintain that depth today, even as high pressure aloft to the
south strengthens slightly. Low clouds along the coast will spread
into portions of inland Orange County early this morning to
around Interstate 5 in northern Orange County, and in San Diego
County into the far western valleys.

High temperatures for the mountains will warm around 5 degrees
today with slight cooling for the western valleys and inland
coastal areas. High temperatures for today will be as much as 8 to
12 degrees above average for the mountains, deserts, and inland
valleys ranging from the lower 70s near the coast to the 90s to
around 100 for the Inland Empire with 112 to 116 for the lower
deserts.

For Thursday into the weekend, a low pressure system over the
eastern Pacific will move slowly into the western states. This
will strengthen the onshore flow across southern California and
weak high pressure aloft. This will spread cooling inland with
cooling on Thursday of a few degrees to around 5 degrees for the
mountains and inland valleys with slightly greater additional
cooling on Friday.

With the cooling, Friday high temperatures will be around 5
degrees below average for the mountains, but still around 5
degrees above average for the lower deserts. High temperatures on
Friday will range from around 70 near the coast to the 80s to
around 90 for the Inland Empire with 105 to 110 for the lower
deserts.

The marine layer will begin to deepen, to 1500 to 2000 feet for
Friday with night and morning coastal low clouds spreading into
portions of the western valleys.

&&

.LONG TERM (Saturday through Tuesday)...
The cooling will continue into the weekend with weekend high
temperatures a few degrees below average near the coast to 5 to 10
degrees below average for the mountains and valleys with high
temperatures ranging from around 70 near the coast to the upper
70s to upper 80s for the Inland Empire with the upper 90s to
around 100 for the lower deserts. The marine layer will deepen to
2000 to 2500 feet with night and morning coastal low clouds
spreading farther into the valleys.

For Monday and Tuesday, high temperatures may warm around 5
degrees, but remain below average with night and morning coastal
low clouds spreading into portions of the valleys.
