.SYNOPSIS...30/1045 AM.

Skies will be clear except for night through morning low clouds
across the coasts and some valleys through next weekend.
Afternoon high temperatures will be 3 to 6 degrees below normal
through the weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM (MON-THU)...30/839 PM.

***UPDATE***

Temperatures varied dramatically between the coasts and the
interior, due to a solid blanket of marine layer clouds that
persisted through the day along the Central Coast. Clouds were
more sparse for Ventura and LA Counties, where highs reached the
mid 60s to low 70s, in contrast with the cooler 50s for the
Central Coast. As the low approaches through Wednesday expecting
more marine layer clouds that extend further into the valleys and linger
longer each day. The current forecast generally looks on track,
but may need to increase onshore winds over interior San Luis
Obispo County and the Antelope Valley for Tuesday afternoon.

***From Previous Discussion***

A quiet weather pattern is expected this week across southwest
California with temperatures near to slightly below normal. A weak
upper low currently over the Bay Area will slowly drift south
Tuesday and Wednesday. This will bring about a slow rise in the
marine layer depth and bring a few degrees of cooling to the
coastal valleys and eventually bring some low clouds there as
well, possibly as early as Tuesday morning. Otherwise, a lot more
of the same weather this week with clouds clearing to the coast
each afternoon. Moderate to strong onshore flow will maintain the
usual gusty winds into the Antelope Valley each afternoon but
mostly below advisory levels.

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...30/1055 AM.

Really just more of the same Friday through the weekend with
temperatures very similar day to day and low clouds pushing in to
some of the valleys each morning.

Ensemble based long range forecasts do show a substantial shift
in the weather towards the middle of next week (July 8th or 9th).
A very warm upper high is forecast to develop and trigger the
first heatwave of the summer. The mdls have also been consistently
hinting at the first monsoonal moisture push of the season as
well which would bring the threat of afternoon convection to the
area if it develops. Please stay tuned as we monitor this
developing situation over the upcoming days.
