.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...
JUNE GLOOM IS IN FULL BLOOM. TODAY WAS ANOTHER DAY OF THICK GRAY
MORNING CLOUDS THAT SELECTIVELY BURNED OFF BACK TO THE COAST IN THE
AFTERNOON. POCKETS OF DRIZZLE THIS MORNING LASTED LONG ENOUGH FOR A
FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH TO ACCUMULATE IN COASTAL ORANGE COUNTY.
THE 3000 FOOT THICK MARINE LAYER BROUGHT A FEW DEGREES OF COOLING
WEST OF THE MTNS...AND THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH BROUGHT COOLING TO
MTNS AND DESERTS. WINDS WERE STRONG AGAIN TODAY THANKS TO STRONG
ONSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENTS TO THE DESERT THERMAL LOW. THE WINDS WERE
SUBSIDING THIS EVENING AND THE WIND ADVISORY WILL BE CANCELLED WITH
THE EVENING UPDATE.
TOMORROW WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY. THE CLOUD LAYER WILL BE 2500-3000
FEET THICK...THICK ENOUGH FOR AREAS OF DRIZZLE LATE TONIGHT AND
EARLY FRIDAY. THE CLOUD DECK WILL THEN DO ITS USUAL SLOW BURN BACK
TO THE COAST IN THE AFTERNOON. DESERT WINDS TOMORROW WILL NOT BE
QUITE AS STRONG AS TODAY SINCE THE THERMAL LOW WILL NOT BE QUITE AS
DEEP.
OVER THE WEEKEND THE TROUGH WEAKENS SLIGHTLY AND THE MARINE LAYER
WILL BE A LITTLE SHALLOWER...BUT THE OVERALL DIURNAL TRENDS REMAIN
UNCHANGED.
NEXT WEEK IS LOOKING WARMER AND BRIGHTER. THE UPPER LOW IS FORECAST
TO LIFT NORTH AND BE REPLACED BY THE EASTERN PACIFIC HIGH THAT SETS
UP RESIDENCE OFF THE COAST OF NORTHERN BAJA. HIGHER PRESSURE AND
HIGHER HEIGHTS MEAN WARMER DAYS AND A SHALLOWER MARINE LAYER. BY
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK EXPECT IT TO FEEL A LOT MORE LIKE SUMMER
WITH VALLEY HIGHS IN THE 80S AND LOW 90S...MOUNTAINS HIGHS IN THE
70S AND 80S...AND DESERT HIGHS WELL ABOVE 100. THE IMMEDIATE COAST
MAY STRUGGLE TO CLEAR ON SOME DAYS DUE TO A PERSISTENT SHALLOW
MARINE LAYER AND VERY STRONG INVERSION THAT COULD LIMIT CLEARING AT
THE BEACHES.
.AVIATION...
170230Z...COAST/VALLEYS...WIDESPREAD CIGS 1-1.5K FT WITH LAYERS TO
2.5-3K FT SPREADING FAR INLAND AGAIN TONIGHT WITH AREAS OF 3-5SM VIS
IN -DZ/BR/HZ AND LOCALLY LOWER OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. EXPECT
CLEARING TO PROGRESS FROM THE FOOTHILLS OF THE MOUNTAINS...WESTWARD
TO NEAR THE BEACHES BTWN 16Z AND 21Z ON FRI. COMPLETE CLEARING ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COAST WILL BE DIFFICULT AS THE SEA BREEZE STRENGTHENS
AND BRINGS THE STRATUS BACK IN BEFORE DUSK.
OVER MTNS AND DESERTS...WESTERLY WINDS OF 25 TO 35 KTS WITH HIGHER
GUSTS THROUGH THE PASSES AND SOME CANYONS INTO THE DESERTS WILL
CREATE MODERATE UDDFS AND LOCAL LLWS THROUGH FRI. SKIES WILL BE
CLEAR AND VIS UNRESTRICTED...EXCEPT IN LOCAL AREAS OF BLOWING DUST.
&&
.MARINE...
SURF REPORTS SHOWED MAX SETS ONLY 4 FT AT 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON. FOUR
FOOT SOUTH SWELL EXPECTED TO PERSIST TOMORROW...BUT MODELS SHOW A
SHORTER PERIOD. IF THE BUOYS CONFIRM OVERNIGHT...IT IS LIKELY THE
SURF FORECAST FOR FRI WILL HAVE TO BE LOWERED 1-2 FT.
