.SYNOPSIS...
Inland heat peaking today with high temperatures 5 to 10 degrees
above normal. Breezy west winds across the mountains and deserts
each afternoon and evening, strongest on Monday. A slow cooling
is expected through most of the week with highs generally 5
degrees above average through Wednesday and closer to normal
heading into the end of the week. Night and morning low clouds and
fog can be expected each day along the coast and will reach into
portions of the valleys at times.

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

Low clouds have spread back into the San Diego county coastal
areas and western valleys, with less coverage in Orange County.
Elsewhere a few high clouds continued to move northeast over the
area. Low clouds will slowly spread northward along the Orange
County coast through the morning as a very weak coastal eddy
develops, and for what seems like the first time in a long time,
we will actually have total clearing of the low clouds this
afternoon. Otherwise warmer today with highs 5-10 degrees above
normal inland as an upper level ridge of high pressure strengthens
over the Desert Southwest. There is a 50-70 percent chance of high
temperatures over 100 degrees in the far inland portions of the
Inland Empire and a 75-100 percent chance for lower elevations of
the Mojave Desert. There is a 25-35 percent chance of highs of 115
or more in the low deserts. Breezy west winds will develop below
the passes this afternoon and evening, strongest through the San
Gorgonio Pass where gusts to around 40 mph are likely (80%
chance).

The upper level ridge begins to flatten as an upper trough moves
inland across the West Coast. This trough will bring some cooling
Monday as well as gusty west winds in the mountains and deserts
again with local gusts to around 50 mph below the passes and 25-40
mph elsewhere. Subtle cooling continues on Tuesday though highs
will still be around 5 degrees above normal. The marine layer will
remain relatively shallow with low clouds and patchy fog confined
to the coastal areas each night and morning.

The upper ridge reamplifies over So Cal on Wednesday for brief
warming. Ensembles are still in generally good agreement with the
development of an upper trough off the coast Thursday, slowly
progressing eastward through the end of the week for gradual
cooling and a deeper marine layer with more widespread night and
morning low clouds.
