Ation section for 06Z TAF package,
Low clouds in the coastal basin are making their retreat to the coast with clearing skies behind and to the east of the mountains. Clearing at the coast will be short lived with the marine layer expected to move back in later this afternoon and once again filling into the coastal basin late tonight into the early Monday morning. High temperatures will be near to just below the seasonal average as an upper level low moves from just off the coast and to the east Monday.
As low pressure decreases at the surface through Thursday, temperatures will continue to cool and the marine layer will deepen. This will increase chances for patchy drizzle west of the mountains beginning Monday night through Thursday morning and bring daily highs 10-15 degrees below average for the Inland Empire, mountain areas, and deserts by Thursday afternoon.
An upper level trough is expected to slide down the coast Tuesday through Thursday before moving out to the northeast Friday. This trough will produce gusty onshore winds in the mountains and deserts, especially in the desert mountain slopes and passes. The strongest winds are expected Tuesday and Wednesday in the afternoons evenings with wind gusts around 35-55 mph in desert areas, with isolated gusts up to 60 mph through the passes.
Temperatures will begin to increase Friday, reaching near the seasonal average by the weekend.
Near average temperatures today with below average temperatures expected Monday through midweek. Low clouds will spread into the valleys each night and morning, lingering into the afternoon at times along the coast. Increased westerly winds expected Tuesday through potentially Thursday for the mountains and deserts. Patchy drizzle or light rain possible west of the mountains each night and morning from Monday night through Thursday morning.
