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

.SHORT TERM (Today through Wednesday)...
Sunday was the coolest day in this current cooler pattern. Anaheim
and San Jacinto both set new records for the date for the coolest
high temperature while Ramona tied the existing record.

A low pressure system moving into northern California early today
will move through southern California tonight with low pressure
then beginning to weaken across the area for much of the week.

High temperatures for today will warm slightly at the coast and
around 5 degrees for inland areas with not much change on
Tuesday. High temperatures on Wednesday will warm a few degrees to
around 5 degrees in the mountains.

High temperatures on Sunday were as much as 15 to 20 degrees below
average for the mountains and Inland Empire. Even with the
warming for today through Wednesday, it will still be around 5
degrees below average near the coast and in the lower deserts on
Wednesday with the mountains and Inland Empire still 10 to 15
degrees below average.

That low pressure system from the north moving through the area
tonight will deepen the marine layer with patchy drizzle possible
late tonight. Southwest to west winds for the mountains and
deserts during the afternoon and evening will slowly decrease
this week.


&&

.LONG TERM (Thursday through Sunday)...
The trough of low pressure across the area will gradually weaken
on Thursday and Friday. For Saturday and Sunday, high pressure to
the south may begin to expand northward into southern California.
High temperatures as much as 5 to 10 degrees below average for
the mountains and inland valleys on Thursday will gradually warm
through Sunday, but remain below average.

High temperatures on Thursday will range from around 70 near the
coast to the 80s for the Inland Empire with 100 to 104 for the
lower deserts. On Sunday, high temperatures will range from the
lower 70s near the coast to the mid 80s to lower 90s for the
