TODAY’S WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST:
..Friday, 04-18-2025
..Today will be another cloudy and foggy day across the Mountains, foothills and in the Valley.
..Light showers can be expected today especially along the front side of the mountain and the foothills.
..Currently the Marine layer has filled the entire area below 7000′ along with light drizzle and or light rain showers below that elevation.
..Temperatures will be cool again today due to cold air advection wrapping around the area of Low pressure passing through the Great Basin Region today.
..This area of Low pressure will stay to the East of SoCal but we will see a 30-40% chance for showers through tonight. The freezing levels will be ~6500′ so snow flurries can’t be ruled out above that elevation overnight tonight.
..WEEKEND OUTLOOK:
..As the area of low pressure passes overnight tonight, clearing skies along with a warming trend will begin tomorrow. A weak Ridge of High pressure will develop over SoCal for the weekend and Monday.
..Temperatures will warm up into the 50s and low 60s by Easter Sunday.
..LOOKING AHEAD:
..For next week, a more Zonal flow aloft will help to keep us in a fair weather pattern through the end of the work week.
..Late in the work week there may be an area of Low pressure pass across the PAC-NW that will increase the chances for morning fog and low clouds along with a slight cooling trend followed by a strong area of High pressure at the end of April.
..Have a great day and enjoy the upcoming Easter Weekend. RC

TODAY’S WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST:


..Good Morning.
..This morning, a weak Trough is passing over SoCal. As a result, the Marine layer has moved inland and is up to around 5500′ thick, with fog and clouds along and below the Rim.
..This will slowly clear out today as the Trough moves out of the area. However morning fog and low clouds can be expected again overnight and in the morning tomorrow.
..Temperatures will be running in the upper 50s to mid 60s today across the mountains as well as on Sunday.
..Late Sunday as a much stronger system approaches the West, we will see gusty winds develop along the Rim and front country in advance of a pretty wet system that will bring a good wetting rain to the area through early Tuesday morning.
..This system will have support of an Atmospheric River (AR) that will be dying out as it passes over SoCal. However, it will be strong enough to bring up to 2 inches of rain in some local mountain upslope areas. The recent burn areas need to keep watch over the recently burned hills for the possibility of flash Flooding or mud flows.
..The snow levels due to the AR from the South will keep those levels at 7500′ and above for this storm.
..As this will be the first rain that will likely cause some run off, this is a good time to check those drainage areas to make sure they are clear of debris.
..Tuesday and for the rest of the week ahead, we will have clearing skies and warming temperatures as High pressure rebuilds into the SoCal region. RC
..That’s it for now, have a good day! RC
