An inside slider is scheduled to move through Southern California this weekend, weekend of September 30th. This system will be the first system of the season to bring fall like temperatures and some rainfall, with areas of thunderstorm chances as well.

A deep trough will be placed over California this weekend. The west to east flow around it will bring gusty wind conditions for the mountain and desert regions, starting Friday, with up to 50 mph wind gusts.

A weak front will sweep the area on Saturday, starting through San Luis Obispo, Vandenberg, and sweeping across Kern, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County, The Inland Empire, San Diego, and the High Desert zones. This front will continue to be monitored as instability parameters are high enough to warrant a chance of thunderstorms, mainly Los Angeles north and westward, including the Barstow and Kern forecast zones.

Thunderstorm risks will be assessed further on Saturday morning with the next update.

Long Range suggests we will be seeing a couple systems in October, and October will be colder than normal as we move through El Nino (Reference A Below)

Master General Meteorologist – is a consulting meteorologist for over 50 companies, including energy, agriculture, aviation, marine, leisure, and many more areas. He has certs from Mississippi State for broadcast met and Penn State forecasting certs MET 101, 241, 341 and 361 as a meteorologist, but before then was completely self-taught, barely learning a thing from the schools that he did not already know.

Both short and long-range is very important to know in those jobs so you can bet on accuracy here. He is versed in fields like Western USA, Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, High Winds, Fire Behavior, Snow and Blizzards, Short Range, Long Range, Seasonal, and Life-Threatening decisions with over 25 years' experience, out forecasting all weather services available today with lead-time and precision, which makes him a focus of ridicule and envy.
