There were a few drizzle reports last night and this morning, mainly
focused in coastal areas of northern San Diego County. The marine
layer deepened about 2300 ft from yesterday as the main core of the
trough of low pressure moved into the Great Basin. The overall
pattern will remain troughy through Friday, with another shortwave
expected to move through the mean flow early Tuesday. This will
increase the onshore pressure gradient again, maintaining a deeper
marine layer, elevating winds, and maintaining below average
temperatures. Additionally, patchy drizzle is possible Monday
night into Tuesday morning.

Winds over the mountains and into the deserts will remain elevated
today, but weaker than yesterday. Peak wind gusts yesterday topped
out at 72 mph at Cuyamaca Peak, 69  mph at White Water, and 56 mph
at Burns Canyon. Strongest winds today will be through the San
Gorgonio Pass and in the San Diego deserts with peak gusts 45 to 55
mph, with local gusts to 65 mph through the pass. Winds will weaken
into Monday morning. Winds for the mountains, deserts, and passes on
Monday evening into Tuesday look like they will likely peak at 35
to 50 mph. Strongest winds will be through west to east oriented
passes, like the San Gorgonio Pass.

Highs through Wednesday for inland areas will be 10 to 20 degrees
below average. There is good model agreement in the upper level
pattern through next Friday. For the 4th of July weekend, there is
more uncertainty in the upper level pattern. About half of the
ensemble solutions indicate ridging will develop over the western
United States although there are varying solutions as to where.
20 to 30 percent of ensemble solutions have the ridge in a
position to bring us more notable warming. Official forecast
follows the NBM for the end of the week which indicates a gradual
warming trend Thursday through the weekend. By next Sunday some
locations will start to see near or slightly above average
temperatures. &&
