.SYNOPSIS...
Gusty westerly winds over the mountains and into the deserts through

continue early in the week, with a gradual warming for the middle to

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

For the weekend, an upper level low off the coast of British
Columbia will dig southeast into the Great Basin. This will bring 5
to 15 degree below average temperatures from the coast to the
deserts Saturday. In addition, gusty westerly winds can be expected
over the mountains and into the deserts this afternoon and evening
and again Saturday afternoon and evening. Winds will be strongest
through the San Gorgonio Pass where gusts 55 to 60 mph are possible,
otherwise gusts will be 40 to 50 mph.

Marine layer low clouds and areas of fog will be persistent into
next week, with varying depth. The marine layer is expected to
deepen slightly Saturday, although the amount of deepening will
depend on the position of a potential eddy. As the upper level low
digs into the Great Basin Sunday, the pressure gradient will briefly
turn offshore bringing an uptick in northeasterly winds Sunday
morning. Those offshore winds look to stay on the weaker side, but
have the potential to inhibit low clouds reaching portions of the
Inland Empire and near mountain foothills.

A secondary low will develop in the mean trough Sunday night into
Monday and digs towards Southern California before progressing
westward on Tuesday. This will maintain cooler weather with highs 5
to 10 degrees below normal through Tuesday and marine layer low
clouds spreading into the western valleys each night. For Wednesday
through the end of next week, the upper level troughing shifts north
resulting in a gradual warming and less extensive night and morning
low clouds. Current forecast for the end of the week follows NBM
with highs within a few degrees of normal.
