.DISCUSSION...FOR EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDING ORANGE...
SAN DIEGO...WESTERN RIVERSIDE AND SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTIES...
...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM (Today through Wednesday)...
High temperatures for the deserts into the mountains will warm a
few degrees today with not much change for the coast and valleys.
High temperatures for today for the coast and valleys will be
mostly in the mid 70s to lower 80s and for the mountains in the
50s and 60s.
A gradual cooling trend will begin on Tuesday and continue through
next weekend. High temperatures on Wednesday will be a few
degrees below average near the coast and in the lower deserts to 4
to 8 degrees below average for the mountains and inland valleys.
High temperatures on Wednesday for the coast and valleys will be
mostly in the 70s and for the mountains in the mid 40s to mid 60s.
Coastal low clouds may return for tonight into Tuesday morning
with greater spread into the valleys for Tuesday night into

mountains in the mid 30s to mid 50s.
The center of a closed low pressure center will be near the
