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

This weekend (Today through Sunday)...

500mb height peaks Saturday into Sunday as the modest upper level
ridge passes overhead. Heights gradually fall Sunday into Monday as
a trough slowly approaches. Under the influence of this ridge,
temperatures continue trickle up into Saturday, about 5 degrees
warmer than today. Highs reach the mid to upper 70s for the coasts,
the upper 80s to low 90s for the San Diego County Valleys, mid 90s
for the Inland Empire, and uper 90s to near 110 in the deserts.
Similar high temperatures follow for Sunday, alebit a touch cooler
with heights falling some. The marine layer lowers a bit more than
the past few mornings for Saturday and Sunday, which could bring
some patchy fog to inland higher terrain each morning.

Next week (Monday through Friday)...

A very slow-moving trough meanders its way closer to the California
coast early next week. The troughs become more defined as a cut-off
low by Tuesday, and despite this, fairly consistent agreement
between ensembles and clusters prog this feature to eventually move
inland over California Wednesday into Thursday. While Monday will be
a touch cooler than Sunday, this pattern of a very slowly advancing
cut-off low favors fairly stagnant weather, with similar
temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday. The marine layer gradually
deepens as the upper level low approaches, with futher inland extent
on Monday/Tuesday compared to this weekend.

Models begin to diverage by Thursday, with the European ensemble
mean keeping troughing over the West Coast while the GEFS is more
progressive and returns us to a quasi-zonal state.
