Good Morning.
As we begin the weekend, There will be few changes that will affect the weather over the next few days. First off, temperatures will begin to cool today through Tuesday. Onshore flow will be on the increase along with a deeper Marine layer across all of SoCal’s Inland areas.
This morning the Marine layer is up against the bottom of the hill with a depth of around 1500-2000′ as of 6am.
An area of High pressure that has brought very nice weather to the IE for the last several days will move out and be replaced by a Cutoff Low that is currently about 600 miles to our West. As this area of Low pressure gets closer to SoCal, gusty SW winds will pick up along with increasing clouds through Monday.
Temperatures today should be around 5-8* cooler than yesterday. Tomorrow morning we could see the Marine layer spilling over the Rim during the morning hours. This will again help to bring temperatures down by a few more degrees for Sunday.
By Sunday afternoon, the effects of the Cutoff Low will bring a chance for a shower over the local mountains lasting through Monday afternoon. As of this morning the center of the Low looks like it will track a little further South, taking most of the energy to our South as well. However, the Low is still deepening as of this morning and will continue to do so through it’s arrival time early Monday morning.
Wrap around moisture along with some convection is expected to bring a chance for Thunderstorms to the region.
Big Bear will have the best chance locally. Lake Arrowhead, Running Springs, will have a lesser chance, then Crestline will likely see a few showers with only a slight chance for a T-Storm.
In areas where T-Storms do develop, be aware of your surroundings as a brief heavy shower could quickly bring a flash flood to the local waterways, as the ground is still fairly saturated from the Winter rains.
Long range, after the Cut Off Low passes through, we will slowly warm up as an area of High pressure will move over the area. The next possibility for a change will come around the 3rd of May when another weak Low will pass through the West.
Have a great day and week ahead. That’s it for today. Thank you for joining me @ lakegregoryweather.com
