.SYNOPSIS...
The heat for inland areas will peak today and Friday with high
temperatures for the mountains, deserts, and inland valleys 15 to
20 degrees above average. This will be followed by a gradual
cooling trend for Saturday into the middle of next week as high
pressure aloft weakens and onshore flow strengthens. A shallow
marine layer with low clouds and locally dense fog near the coast
will become deeper for Saturday into next week with night and
morning coastal low clouds extending into portions of the valleys
at times.

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

Update: The marine layer is mostly confined to the inner waters, off
the coast of San Diego County. There is still some areas of patchy
dense fog in and around the city of San Diego, and also within some
of the bay and inlet areas. Otherwise, these low clouds/fog are
continuing to slowly mix out and is expected to do so over the
majority of the coastal areas between 10 and 11 AM. This marine
layer may remain in place over the coastal waters, and may
occasionally move overhead for some of the coastal locations
throughout the afternoon with overcast skies possible at times,
especially after the push of onshore flow after Noon. The high res
models still appear to be in track with the timing of the return of
the marine layer later this evening, mainly after 10 PM. It does
appear that cloud bases will be a little more elevated tonight
through tomorrow morning, which translates to more of the inland
valleys getting the marine layer invasion. There still looks to be
lower ceilings for the coastal waters, and patchy fog could exist,
which may allow for the issuance of a Marine Weather Statement, and
possibly another Dense Fog Advisory.

(Previous discussion submitted at 311 AM):

.SHORT TERM (Today through Saturday)...
High pressure aloft will continue the warming trend through Friday
with high temperatures for the mountains, deserts, and inland
valleys 15 to 20 degrees above average. On Friday, high
temperatures will range from around 70 near the coast to the mid
80s to lower 90s for the Inland Empire with lower deserts reaching
the upper 90s to 103. The shallow marine layer will continue into
Friday with areas of low clouds and dense fog over the coastal
waters extending locally inland along the coast.

On Saturday, high pressure aloft will begin to weaken and onshore
flow strengthen. Cooling will spread inland with high temperatures
on Saturday around 4 to 8 degrees cooler than Friday. The marine
layer will begin to slowly deepen with more widespread low clouds
and fog spreading into the far western valleys for late Friday
night into Saturday morning. There will be stronger and gusty
southwest to west winds for the mountains and deserts for Saturday
afternoon and evening with isolated stronger gusts of 40 to 50
mph.

&&

.LONG TERM (Sunday through Wednesday)...
The gradual cooling trend will continue into Wednesday with
Wednesday high temperatures as much as 5 degrees below average
for the western valleys and inland coastal areas and as much as 5
degrees above average for the deserts. High temperatures on
Wednesday will range from the lower to mid 60s near the coast to
the 70s for the Inland Empire with the lower deserts in the upper
80s and lower 90s. Night and morning low clouds and fog will spread
into portions of the valleys.

.AVIATION...

the vicinity of KSAN. This will continue to scatter out by 17Z or
shortly thereafter, but patchy and intermittent fog will linger at
