Ben's Weather Forecast Updated: Monday, Nov 12 @ 08:22am |
| Temperatures on a roller coaster ride as we transition seamlessly from one offshore flow to another, decreasing later this week as offshore gradients relax a bit. Good cold air advection will bring SoCal another round of gusty Santa Ana winds today, making for a chilly start to the week with highs only reaching the mid 40's this afternoon. Expect northeast winds 10-20 at times with gusts to over 70mph possible in a few locations this morning. The colder temperatures have also given resorts some excellent snowmaking runs, mainly during the overnight hours since Friday, this will continue through Tuesday before the offshore flow weakens. High pressure over the Great Basin will flatten out and shift east on Tuesday, giving the offshore flow more of an easterly component, cutting off the colder air and allowing temperatures to return to normal through the second half of the week. Daytime highs will climb back in the 50's by Wednesday where we'll stay through the weekend, while overnight lows cool to the teens and 20's later in the week; easterly winds 5-15mph at times. Looking at the extended forecast, models push a nice little front through the region over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and even generate some precip across our area, but this has yet to materialize as long-range guidance remains fairly inconsistent, very typical when looking that far out, stay tuned! Local resorts have yet to announce an opening date, but could happen towards the weekend if weather conditions remain favorable. At this time, there are no active fires threatening the San Bernardino mountains, but occasional drift smoke may be visible from other wildfires currently burning across the state. |
