Good Monday morning to you.
We start off the day with May G.
Good morning, I'm Evan and Ronn.
We're going to jump into what this week
looks like as we start off the month of May.
But I want to start by kind of
backtracking and showing you wht
April ended up looking like in total.
We have our numbers in now
on our afternoon highs,
our overnight lows, precipitati.
And all three for the month of
April came in below normal.
Average afternoon highs came in
two degrees cooler than normal.
Average overnight lows nearly
3 degrees cooler than normal.
And our precipitation also below normal.
So on all three fronts the montf
April was not all that spring like to
us I guess except for the precipitation part.
But luckily January, February,
March we had so much rain that were able
to compensate from those three months.
Keep in mind though this does kd
of set the stage for now how we
are starting off the month of M,
it's May 1st through of low pree
sinks down the coast over the nt
several days and that gives us a daily
marine layer meaning morning Gray skies.
Overcast,
a bit of drizzle associated wit,
some light rain in some cases,
and then it all culminates to Thursday.
Thursday is going to be the dayf
widespread rain in the forecast.
Not going to be heavy necessari,
but we do have the threat of
more moderate showers in the mi.
A couple tenths of an inch in tl
is what we're looking at.
So this makes its arrival into Thursday,
Thursday afternoon and evening t
starts to exit to our E leaves us with
a few remaining showers into early Friday,
but otherwise what we're looking
at is Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
A drying trend thanks to.
This a building Ridge of high pressure.
It's going to be very brief and
you see how minimal that climb,
that actual ridging is.
Instead, with this weak Ridge,
what we'll do is see.
Less dense marine layer,
so more sunshine on hand by
the upcoming weekend.
Friday, Saturday,
Sunday.
We'll get a little bit of
a boost in temperatures,
but it's still going to stay
below normal for the next 8 day,
essentially because we've got another
through of low pressure quickly behind it.
That could start to allow for me
rain in the forecast as early as
about the middle of next week.
In the meantime though, wind is very breezy.
It's going to be something that
we talk about each afternoon.
We'll pause this. At 6:00 PM to.
And you see this is sort of where we'll
reach our peak in terms of your wind gusts.
Now across the mountains and deserts,
a wind advisory takes effect to.
It lasts from 10:00 AM Monday
through 3:00 AM Tuesday.
And that's because of these
double digit wind gusts.
And above double digits,
I mean you're up to 56 mph in Borrego
Springs along the coast in inlad
10 to 20 mph. So much calmer.
But notice the direction of those winds.
These arrows are all pointing.
From the West to the east.
And that means that this is
that push of onshore flow,
dense cloud cover each morning and night.
And in some cases those clouds are willing
to drop a little bit of rain on.
So that's what we'll see
each morning to come.
Temperatures are going to
stay cooler than normal.
It's going to feel not like spr.
Instead still a bit like
winter out there for us,
60s along the coast in inland,
we're essentially going to be 5o
10 degrees cooler than normal fr
our afternoon high temperatures,
62 for San Diego, 59 for Alpine.
Warmest will see is Brego Sprins
and they'll bear they're going
to barely make it into the 80s.
Eighty one is about we're lookig
at on the 8 day forecast.
Temperatures across the board fr
the next 8 days are below norma.
Our best opportunity for widespd
accumulating rain is going to
be this upcoming Thursday.
It's going to be more moderate,
not heavy,
but does present the chance for maybe a
few thunderstorms to squeeze out coastline.
You're going to be struggling
to see much sunshine this week,
but inland is where we'll likely have
a little bit more of it on hand.
The expectation is that closer to Tuesday,
Wednesday will have at least a
bit of sun peeking through acros
the mountains and deserts.
Mountains will likely pick up
on the heaviest accumulations.
Temperatures stand in the 40s and 50s
out there and then you see the deserts.
They are going to struggle with
wind today through Thursday.
Likely minimal amounts coming in
for Brego Springs octeal wells,
for example,
as we head into that rain event on Thursday.
Just because deserts.
Inventoriously stay very dry dug
these types of events because
of how weak they are.
So the expectation is cloudy sk.
Temperatures still cooler than
average 72 is about as warm as
we'll get by Thursday,
but then warm and back up as wed
toward the beginning of next we.
