.SYNOPSIS...
Fair and slightly cooler weather is expected today through
the weekend as a low pressure trough hangs over the West. The
marine layer will send coastal clouds into parts of inland valleys
each night and morning. Temperatures will remain a little below
normal. Next week, high pressure rebuilds over the Southwest,
which will bring a modest warming trend to Southern California,
with temperatures returning to around average.

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

As we suspected, coastal clouds have struggled and failed to fully
clear from the coast so far today. The strong marine inversion and
the coastal eddy are doing their job of juicing the marine layer. A
weak but deepening trough of low pressure over the Pac NW and our
local coastal eddy have contributed to this deeper marine layer
trend. This trough will drive our general cool pattern through
the weekend, with cooler weather in all areas and low clouds and
fog reaching into parts of the inland valleys each night and
morning. Temperatures will continue a few degrees below normal
west of the mountains through Thursday, while temps continue a few
degrees above average in the mountains and deserts. That is
especially true today as we head into the final hours of our
Extreme Heat Warning for our lower deserts. A cooler air mass
Friday and Saturday will bring the entire region below average
those days and through the weekend at least. Next week we`re
fairly confident that the high pressure ridge over the Southwest
will strengthen and expand into SoCal, eventually centering over
the four corners area. This will bring a warming trend for all
areas and of course a shallowing of the marine layer. That will
mean less extensive coastal cloudiness and less duration next
week. It won`t be a rapid or significant warming trend, as
temperatures will take a few days to get back to average, maybe
not until Wednesday. For the past monthor so we`ve been teased by
model guidance showing some increase in monsoon moisture about a
week into the future. But we`re not offended by the bullying
tease, so we have no meaningful chances of precipitation in our
forecast. There are some hints late next week that the ridge will
weaken slightly, hinting at a cooling trend.
