.SYNOPSIS...
Slightly cooler today with variable high clouds but temperatures
will still be above seasonal averages. Patchy dense fog over the
coastal waters could move ashore again this evening, becoming
more widespread tonight into Tuesday morning. Warmer Tuesday
through Thursday with periods of weak to locally moderate Santa
Ana winds. Cooler with a return of onshore flow Friday through the
weekend.

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

There were a few patches of locally dense fog at the immediate
coast in San Diego County earlier this morning. The fog has since
lifted and the rest of the day will be mostly hazy sunshine with
variable high clouds. Today will be generally cooler than
yesterday as a weak upper level trough moves over the region, but
high temperatures will still be 5 to 10 degrees above seasonal
averages.

High-resolution models indicate a return of low clouds and fog to
the coastal areas tonight into Tuesday morning. This is in spite
of the surface pressure gradient trending stronger offshore during
the next 24 hours as the upper level trough moves east and a sfc
high moves into the Great Basin. The developing offshore flow will
likely not be strong enough to push the marine layer clouds/fog
offshore tonight/Tue morning. Wind gusts below the passes and on
the coastal slopes will only peak at around 25-30 mph. Tuesday and
Wednesday will be warmer as a Rex Block develops over the west
coast, with an upper level low centered off the coast of central
Baja and an upper high centered over the Bay Area. This pattern
will provide easterly flow aloft over SoCal, enhancing the
offshore flow on Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday and Wednesday
will likely be the warmest days with high temps 15-20 degrees
above normal for the coastal areas and valleys and around 10-15
degrees above normal in the mountains and deserts. The national
Blend of Models indicates a 25-45 percent chance of 90+ degrees on
Wed for portions of inland OC. This drops to about 15 percent on
Thu.

Temperatures begin to trend lower on Thu as the upper high shifts
east in response to a low pressure trough approaching from the
West. This trough will merge with the low to the south as it moves
southeast over the region. The evolution of these systems remains
very uncertain due to the spread among model solutions. Some
previous solutions were indicating very small chances for
precipitation Fri-Sat. Current solutions are mostly dry but the
possibility of light precip on those days can`t be eliminated. We
can say with reasonable confidence that Fri-Sat will be cooler
with increasing marine layer clouds as onshore flow returns.

A transient ridge will likely bring fair weather and a minor
warmup on Sunday before a more significant low pressure trough
moves in on Monday. This has the potential to bring precip to
SoCal, mainly from the mtns westward. A majority of ensemble
members across model platform indicate chances for precip on
Monday. The NBM indicates about a 45 percent chance of measurable
precip.

.AVIATION...
021800...Coastal areas...VFR this afternoon, then low clouds based
400-700 ft MSL return after 02z Tue to the coast. VIS reductions
expected 1-5SM for coastal sites after 03z, then VIS reductions 1/4-
2SM with FG for coastal mesas around I-15 and I-405 beginning 06-
08z, with a 40-50% chance of below 1/2SM at KCRQ. Low clouds and FG
scatter out 15-17z Tue.

Otherwise, VFR conditions with SCT high clouds through Tuesday
morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Patchy fog with local visibility under 1 nautical mile tonight into
Tuesday morning. Otherwise, no hazardous marine conditions are
expected through Friday.

&&

.BEACHES...
Surf of 3 to 6 feet with sets to 8 feet peaks today and tonight, and
gradually diminishes Tuesday. A higher than average tide Tuesday
morning will combine with this high surf to produce minor tidal
overflow and flooding, along with strong rip currents and hazardous
swimming conditions, most likely in San Diego County, through
Tuesday morning. Check the Coastal Hazard Message for details on
these multiple hazards.

&&

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