TODAY’S WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST

..Thursday, 01-15-2026.
..Good Morning.
..This morning we have clear skies, with light winds.
..The Plateau High over the Interior West has begun to weaken as of this morning. As a result, the strong and gusty NE winds we have had for the past several days are much weaker this morning. Looking at the current wind speeds around the mountain most are running from 5-10mph. Winds along the Ridges and the Foothills are, at Heaps Peak as of 8am the winds are from the North at 10-18mph, Waterman Canyon has winds from the NW-5-15mph. These winds speeds are down substantially from yesterday morning. Here at my location at the South shore of Lake Gregory, I have winds from the ESE at 1-5mph.
..Along the Coast, a Coastal Eddy has formed that has brought onshore flow to the Coastal areas as well as much higher humidity levels and even patchy fog in some areas.
..For the mountains, we will have a nice day today with temperatures running in the upper 50s to low 60s. Clear skies and light winds will be the outlook for today.
..AS for the winds, it looks like we will have a couple days of light winds then they will pick up again on Saturday for a short time. The winds on Saturday are not expected to be as strong as these past few days. They will again be from the NNE running from 10-20mph except in the Cajon Pass and acsoss the local Foothills where the winds will be stronger and gusty.
..Sunday, and for the next five to seven days, I don’t see much change in our general weather pattern, other than not so windy. There was a glimmer of hope for some rain late next week, but this morning that has been taken out of the forecast, at least for now.
..Temperatures are expected to remain in the upper 50s to low 60s through the period.
..On the latest model run this morning, High pressure across the Western States will remain in place diverting the storm track to the North and away from the SoCal area. There will be an Inside slider pass to our East on Friday the 23rd, but the models are not in agreement on how close this will get to our area or if there will be any affects from this as it passes by. So for now, we have a lull in the Winter Weather for all of SoCal.
..ENSO conditions are still in a weak La Nina state (latest weekly Niño-3.4 index value was -0.5°C) and are expected to stay this way through March.
..Have a good day and enjoy this nice mild Mountain weather. RC*
