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

Evening Forecast Update:

No updates were needed this evening. Low clouds will begin to form
towards midnight near the coast and spread inland a few miles
through Wednesday morning.

Previous Discussion (issued at 155 PM PDT):

For Wednesday, increasing moisture will lead to a slight decrease in
temperatures by a degree or two region-wide, though highs will
remain well above seasonal averages. This will continue to lead to
moderate to locally high heat risk across the region. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms will be possible through the afternoon,
mainly across the mountains, High Desert and eastern portions of the
inland valleys. The main threat will be frequent lightning and gusty
winds, though heavy rainfall leading to local flooding will be
possible.

The ridge will weaken on Thursday as an upper-low moves through the
Pacific Northwest. Onshore winds and drying conditions are
anticipated for Thursday through the weekend, allowing for cooler
temperatures. By Saturday, high temperatures are expected to be near
or slightly below average west of the mountains, and slightly above
in the deserts.

The 12z ECMWF Ens Mean shows ridging moving into the western United
States for the second half of the weekend, with positive height
anomalies returning to Southern California Sunday night into Monday.
This may lead to slight warming early next week.
