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

This evening...a few showers are lingering, mostly over the mtns
and desert slopes but they are quickly moving east and
dissipating. Showers should end by midnight. Sfc pressure
gradients are still onshore to the east and the low pressure
system moving southeast into AZ continues to bring locally strong
winds to the mtn passes and adjacent desert areas. In the last
hour, the wind- prone locations have reported wind gusts as strong
as 45-55 mph.

From previous discussion...
A large low pressure system over the Inter-Mountain West will
continue the cool, cloudy and breezy conditions into early
Saturday. Skies will at least partially clear tonight as a weak
ridge starts to build in. Mostly clear skies with warmer high
temperatures near normal for the coastal areas and up to 5 degrees
below for inland areas follow Saturday. Seasonally average
afternoon breezes are expected, with a stronger sea breeze than
previous days. Some patchy low clouds will develop near the coast
overnight Saturday into Sunday, but mostly clear skies will
predominate for most areas.

Temperatures will continue to rise Sunday and Monday, and high
temperatures will be near normal for coastal regions and about 5
degrees above average for inland areas by Monday. Coastal areas
cool off slightly Tuesday, and the cooling trend spreads inland
Wednesday through Friday, with overnight and morning low clouds
and patchy fog that will gradually get slightly deeper and further
inland towards mid-week. Afternoon high temperatures will be back
to 5-10 degrees below average for this time of year by the late
week.

Ensemble weather models are in good agreement through next
Saturday, with differences in the placement of an upper low
pressure after that. A minority of model outputs indicate
precipitation around Sunday-Monday, while the majority keep us dry
if cooler than average.
