...updated Aviation Discussion below...

An upper level disturbance brought widespread mid and high clouds
to the region today some of which produced rain. Most of the rain
evaporated in the dry sub-cloud layer before reaching the ground,
although a trace of rain reached the ground in a few places. The
disturbance also weakened the marine layer inversion and mixed out
the boundary layer so there has been no low clouds or fog to
speak of today.

The disturbance will move east tonight taking the mid and high
clouds with it and a transient ridge of high pressure will
traverse the region through Wednesday. This will allow the marine
layer to return, with low clouds and fog in the coastal areas and
western valleys each night and morning. There will be only minor
day-to-day variations in temperature, with daytime highs remaining
about 5-10 degrees above normal each day.

Numerical models are in pretty good agreement through Friday with
respect to the evolution of the synoptic pattern. A vigorous low
pressure system, with a closed low at 500 mb, will likely impact
the region from Thursday through the weekend. Temperatures will
begin to lower, clouds increase and onshore flow strengthen on
Thursday. Daytime high temperatures will be near or a few degrees
above seasonal averages and westerly winds could be gusting to
35-40 mph in the mtns and on adjacent desert slopes.

For Friday through the weekend...model solutions begin to diverge
and there is increasing uncertainty in the details of the
forecast. In general, clouds will continue to increase through
Saturday and temperatures will continue to trend lower. Sunday
will likely be the coolest day, with high temperatures near or as
much as 10-15 degrees below seasonal averages. This low pressure
system will likely be vigorous enough to bring chances for
widespread measurable rainfall and some mountain snow. Saturday
will be the day with the best chances for precip and the greatest
accumulations. Snow levels will start out above 7000 ft before
lowering to around 6500 ft on Sunday as the precipitation begins
to taper off. The National Blend of Models currently shows a 65%
chance of 0.25 or more in the mountains, a 45%-55% chance in the
valleys and coastal areas, about a 25% chance in the high deserts
and a 10% or less chance in the lower deserts.

The low pressure system moves east by late Sunday and weak upper
level troughing remains over the Western US into Monday,
maintaining cool weather with highs near or a few degrees below
seasonal averages.

.AVIATION...
070000Z...SKC across most of the region currently. Lack of high
clouds should create better conditions for low cloud development
this evening. Low clouds based 1000-1500 ft MSL develop first in San
Diego County coastal areas around 02-05Z. Clouds slowly increase in
coverage overnight to include Orange County, reaching 15-20 miles
inland. Areas of minor vis reductions for elevated coastal terrain
and western valleys (3-6SM). Slight chance for low clouds to reach
the far western/southern Inland Empire (20% at KONT). Clouds scatter
out 15-17z with SKC expected for Tuesday afternoon and early evening.

&&

.MARINE...
Wind gusts in the outer waters could exceed 20 knots Wednesday
night. Otherwise, no hazardous marine conditions are expected
through Saturday.

&&

.SKYWARN...
Skywarn activation is not requested. However weather spotters are
encouraged to report significant weather conditions.
