...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

As of 10 AM, the warm sector of the storm has pushed east and we
are now advecting relatively colder air aloft. Looking at GFS 18z
forecast soundings, there is some background instability only up to
700 mbs. The axis of the trough to the north is passing east of the
coastal basin, making showers increasingly more isolated this
afternoon through this evening throughout the coastal basin, with
perhaps a few leftover showers in SD County tonight before
completely drying out region-wide overnight into Monday. Given the
relatively shallow instability profiles, any showers that do develop
will be mainly light, with only a few brief showers of moderate
intensity.

Monday will begin with cold morning temperatures, especially in the
inland valleys (40s), high desert (mid/upper 30s) and mountain
valleys (20s/30s). Otherwise, expect sunny skies across the region
with light N/NE offshore flow over the mountains and deserts during
the day, then increasing mid and high level clouds during the
evening as another trough moves north of the region.

With the weak trough moving through Tuesday, some light rain or
drizzle cannot be ruled out for coastal and inland SD County though
the one model (ECMWF ENS) picking up on this possibility seems to
be backing off.

As a result of this trough and another trough Thursday, high
temperatures will remain rather steady Tue-Thu: mid- 70s across
the coastal basin (including the IE), upper 60s in the high
desert, 50s in the mountains and around 80F in the low deserts.

Friday through the weekend, an upper ridge builds over the Western
US. While the intensity of the ridge over SoCal remains uncertain,
the thermal trough likely sets up at the coast or a few miles
inland, increasing high temperatures to the low to mid-80s in the
coastal basin and lower deserts, while the mountains and high
deserts remain cool.
