DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...
AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST,
REACHING THE ROCKIES BY SATURDAY. IN THE ABSENCE OF THE LOW, AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD OVER THE WEST
COAST SATURDAY. AS A RESULT, A GRADUAL WARMING TREND WILL OCCUR FOR
THE END OF THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. EVEN WITH THE WARMING, HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW AVERAGE THROUGH SUNDAY.
ON SUNDAY AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP AND LINGER OFF THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AND PUSH THE RIDGE EAST. DUE TO THE
SOUTHERLY POSITION OF THE LOW, THE AIR MASS WILL BE ON THE WARMER
SIDE. THAT WILL SUPPORT THE CONTINUATION OF A GRADUAL WARMING EACH
DAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. BY TUESDAY SOME VALLEY LOCATIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WITH MORE
WIDESPREAD ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
TEMPERATURES IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS WILL BE MODERATED BY AN
INFLUX OF MONSOONAL MOISTURE FOR THE MIDDLE TO END OF NEXT WEEK. THE
MOISTURE LOOKS TO PEAK ON FRIDAY. NBM DAILY CHANCES FOR MEASURABLE
RAINFALL FOR BIG BEAR INCREASING TO 10 PERCENT ON WEDNESDAY, 19
PERCENT ON THURSDAY, AND 25 PERCENT ON FRIDAY.
A MARINE LAYER NEAR 3000 FEET DEEP TODAY WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE IN
DEPTH FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. COASTAL LOW CLOUDS WILL EXTEND INTO
PORTIONS OF THE INLAND VALLEYS FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING,
AND INTO THE WESTERN VALLEYS FOR LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING. FOR NEXT WEEK, THE MARINE LAYER WILL BECOME SHALLOWER WITH
NIGHT AND MORNING COASTAL LOW CLOUDS EXTENDING INTO THE FAR WESTERN
