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

Hot conditions will continue for inland areas through Wednesday with
widespread moderate HeatRisk in the inland valleys, mountain
foothills, and deserts. This afternoon, moderate to locally major
HeatRisk will occur in the low desert. Make sure you`re staying
hydrated and seeking shade if you`re spending time outdoors through
the middle of the week. If possible, avoid strenuous outdoor
activity during the hottest part of the day (through 5pm). Most
model guidance is showing minimal changes in high temperatures
between today and Tuesday for inland Orange County, San Diego
valleys, and mountains. For inland Orange County and western
portions of the San Diego valleys, how much marine layer low cloud
coverage develops overnight will have an impact on how hot it gets
Tuesday. Currently high resolution guidance keeps low cloud and fog
coverage quite patchy overnight, so the forecast is trending towards
the hotter end of the guidance. Patchy dense fog is possible, most
likely in San Diego county near the coastal mesas. For the Inland
Empire, temperatures will see minimal changes through Wednesday,
keeping highs between in the upper 90s to just over 100 degrees.

A very gradual cooling is expected in the deserts for Tuesday into
the weekend, although highs will remain 5 to 7 degrees above
average. The exception is the High Deserts are expected to see a
degree or two of warming on Wednesday, before continuing their
cooling trend. Widespread moderate HeatRisk will continue through
Thursday for the High Desert and Friday for the low desert.

A passing weak area of low pressure will move across central
California today, which will strengthen the onshore pressure
gradient. That will bring breezy west winds to the desert mountain
slopes, below the passes, and into the deserts during the afternoons
and evenings. Strongest winds are expected this afternoon and
evening with gusts 30 to 45 mph, locally up to 50 mph through the
San Gorgonio Pass.

Ensemble guidance is in good agreement that the ridge of high
pressure will get pushed east ahead of an incoming low pressure
system approaching the Pacific Northwest. The incoming low will
bring widespread cooling, a deeper marine layer, and increased winds
over the mountains into the deserts. Marine layer low clouds and fog
are expected to reach well into the valleys by the end of the week.
There is high confidence in dry conditions with this passing trough.
Near average temperatures will return by Friday, with below average
temperatures expected through the weekend.
