Josh Rubenstein's Weather Forecast - April 14

DID IT HAVE CRANKERS? IT HAD THE CRANKERS, YES. DIDN'T WE USED TO SAY ROLL UP THE WINDOW? [LAUGHTER] EVEN THE CONCEPT OF ROLLING IT UP. YOU AREN'T ROLLING IT UP ANYMORE, PRESSING A BUTTON. PUSH BUTTON, UH-HUH. WINDY OUT THERE -- ALREADY HUH? ALREADY IN THE HIGH DESERT, YES. IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE, SANDRA. HERE IT IS, DOWNTOWN L.A., A COUPLE OF CLOUDS. WE HAVE GOT THIS DRY FRONT PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA. THAT'S WHAT'S CAUSING OF COURSE THE WINDS THAT WE WILL BE DEALING WITH HERE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. ONE THE WINDS PASS, IT IS GOING TO WARM -- ONCE THE WINDS PASS, IT IS GOING TO WARM UP NICELY. THIS IS BIG BEAR THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN SEE ON THE TIME LAPSE, SOME CLOUDS CLEARING OUT FOR SOME SUNSHINE AND THEN CLOUDS WILL BE POPPING THROUGH AGAIN AS THIS FRONT PASSES. MOUNTAIN AREAS, THAT'S WHERE WE WILL SEE SOME OF THE WORST OF IT. MOUNTAINS AND UP IN THE HIGH DESERT AS WELL. 67 DEGREES IN LANCASTER. 70s AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY. INLAND EMPIRE, STILL INTO THE 60s. OUR TEMPERATURES WILL BE KEPT IN CHECK BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO START TAPPING INTO THE HEAT UNTIL THAT OFFSHORE FLOW KICKS IN OVER THE WEEKEND. FOR THE TIME BEING, THOUGH, IT'S 71 FOR A HIGH DOWNTOWN. SHOULD BE ABOUT 73 FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. 59 DEGREES TONIGHT WITH CLEAR SKIES IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THOSE WINDS, THE BALLPARK, 10 TO 15 MILES-AN-HOUR IN THE BASIN. AND TOMORROW MORNING, IT IS 59. THE L.A. BASIN ACTUALLY IS NOT GOING TO BE TOO BAD WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE WINDS. THE WINDS ARE REALLY GOING TO BE CONFINED TO OUR VALLEYS, MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. IT IS 70s FOR YOUR HIGHS TODAY. 73 WHITTIER. 66 DANA POINT. 75 ONTARIO. UP TO THE NORTH IN VENTURA COUNTY, 70s AS WELL. COUPLE OF 60s OUT IN MANHATTAN. 68 DEGREES FOR THE SOUTH BAY. THAT DRY FRONT KICKS UP THE WIND. THE WORST OF THIS WILL BE IN OUR MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. THEN WE WILL WARM IT UP FOR THE WEEKEND, INTO THE 80s AND MAYBE EVEN A COUPLE 90s OUT THERE. 73 IS WHERE WE SHOULD BE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. 95 AND 39 ARE THE EXTREMES. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS US A COUPLE CLOUDS THAT WE SHOWED YOU ON THE TIME LAPSE VIDEO, BUT OTHERWISE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. THE BIG ATMOSPHERIC SET UP IS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. THE DRY FRONT RIGHT HERE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT LOW. WATCH IT JUST SWEEP DOWN. NO RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH IT. BUT WHAT WE HAVE ARE THESE PRESSURE GRADIENTS. THAT'S LOW TO HIGH. THINK OF EACH ONE OF THESE LINES AS A LITTLE STEP, SO THE HIGH IS RIGHT HERE. A STEP DOWN ONE LINE, ANOTHER, ANOTHER, ANOTHER, THE TIGHTER THESE ARE TOGETHER, THE MORE COMPACT THESE ARE, THE WINDIER IT IS GOING TO BE. SO THOSE PRESSURE GRADIENTS PRETTY TIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY MORNING, EVEN INTO SATURDAY. AND THEN THEY START TO LOOSEN UP A LITTLE BIT AS THIS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND WE GET THE WARMER AIR. YOU GET THE IDEA, THAT IT IS GOING TO BE WINDY HERE ALL THE WAY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. TONIGHT'S LOWS INTO THE 40s AND 50s WITH CLEAR SKIES YOU CAN SEE THAT THE OVERNIGHT LOWS MAY DROP DOWN JUST A BIT. WE HAVE THE 40s FOR THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AND SIMI VALLEY. 47 IS WHERE WE BOTTOM OUT. TOMORROW TEMPERATURES SIMILAR TO TODAY. MAYBE A DEGREE OR TWO WARMER. WE WILL SEE. BUT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT INTO THE 70s. AS I SAID, WE REALLY DON'T TAP INTO THE VERY WARM TEMPERATURES UNTIL SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. YOU WILL SEE IT ON THE MAP HERE. 73, 83 ON SATURDAY. 84 ON SUNDAY. THESE ARE BASIN TEMPERATURES. WE'RE GOING TO SEE 90s FOR OUR INLAND AREAS. 81 MONDAY. 79 TUESDAY.
