TODAY’S WEATHER DISCUSSION AND FORECAST
..Good Morning.
..The Marine Layer has really thickened up this morning. Currently as of 9am there is fog is up to the 4500-5000′ level. So if you are driving plan a little extra time.
..Temperatures today for the affected areas will be a little cooler as a result of the deeper Marine layer.
..To our East over the Las Vegas area an area of Low pressure at 1002mbs will help to draw in cool moist onshore flow across the area coupled with a 1016mb area of high pressure to our West, offshore of SoCal. So I don’t expect much warming today along with a persistent Marine layer for today.
..LOOKING AHEAD:
..Tuesday and Wednesday, the Low over the Vegas area will move East and we will see a little warming for both days along with a more shallow Marine layer locally.
..The gusty winds locally will be lighter as we head into the Tuesday and Wednesday along with a few degrees of warming.
..LONG RANGE OUTLOOK:
..Friday through the weekend, another area of Low pressure will move through the PAC-NW and the Great Basin Region. This will bring a return of a deeper Marine layer again, along with a cooling trend through Sunday. The Marine layer will again deepen locally with morning fog likely to the 4500-5000′ level.
..So this pattern of weak areas of Low pressure will continue through the upper level flow around an area of High pressure to our West over the Eastern Pacific. This will also be moderated by a Sub Tropical area of High pressure over Mainland Mexico that will slowly strengthen during the next couple of weeks. As this Sub Tropical High strengthens, we will see much warmer weather for the local area as soon as June 5th. So enjoy this cool weather while it lasts. RC
