TODAY’S WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST
..Good Morning.
..Well, it looks like that time of year when the weather has become much more stable. The Polar Jet is slowly moving back it’s Summer position across the North Pacific. There will likely be a couple more short waves affect our area, and maybe some April and or May showers yet to come. But the likelihood of any significant storms has pretty much passed.
..Today we are under a Ridge of High pressure that will bring warm daytime temperatures, along with mostly clear skies and light winds. Perfect!
..Today should be the warmest day of the next five as a weak short wave will begin to affect SoCal starting late tomorrow through Friday night.
..Gusty winds will develop locally as the short wave moves onshore late tomorrow. By Friday morning, the Valley and possible the local foothills will likely see morning Fog, but it should not affect the mountains.
..Temperatures will be around 5-8 degrees cooler Friday compared to today’s temperatures. The gusty SW winds will help to make it feel a little cooler as well.
..LOOKING AHEAD:
..By Friday night the Short Wave will have passed to our East, and High Pressure will return to the SoCal Region. Temperatures will quickly warm up for the weekend making for a nice weekend in the mountains. Daytime temperatures will return to the upper 60s to around 70 degrees in the warmer areas for both Saturday and Sunday. Clear skies and light winds will accompany the nice weekend weather.
..CRYSTAL BALL OUTLKOOK:
..Looking into the future, next week another Trough associated with an area of Low pressure far to our North will bring cooler temperatures to SoCal again for most of the work week next week. While no rain will be in our forecast, Gusty winds, morning Fog, low clouds as well as the cooler temperatures will all be in the weather forecast for next week. Then looking into fantasy land, we may see a few showers for the weekend of the 27th and 28th to end April.
..The EL NINO is fading rapidly as we transition to an ENSO Neutral pattern for the next four to six months.
..My weather forecasts are derived from what I feel is the most probable outlook for our area.
