SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
145 PM PDT TUE JUL 29 2003

THINGS GOING ALONG PRETTY MUCH AS EXPECTED. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING IN RANDOM LOCATIONS AS AIRMASS REMAINS MOIST AND UNSTABLE.
HOWEVER, THERE WAS ENOUGH CLEARING IN SOME PLACES, ESPECIALLY LA
COUNTY, TO ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO WARM UP MORE THAN EXPECTED.

DONT REALLY SEE TOO MUCH CHANGE IN THE WEATHER PATTERN NEXT 48 HOURS.
A SERIES OF EASTERLY WAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH OR NEAR THE CWA CAUSING
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. SINCE THESE STORMS ARE ALSO DYNAMICALLY
INDUCED CHANCES ARE ABOUT EQUAL DAY OR NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVERAGE AND COULD LOCALLY BE SEVERAL DEGREES
WARMER THAN EXPECTED DUE TO PERIODS OF CLEARING.

AIRMASS WILL START TO DRY OUT THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS THE FLOW
ALOFT SHIFTS TO THE SOUTHWEST, PUSHING THE MONSOONAL MOISTURE TO THE
EAST. WELL ALSO SEE A RETURN TO A MORE NORMAL MARINE LYR PATTERN.
HIGHS OVER THE WEEKEND WILL BE NEAR SEASONAL NORMS.

LAX 3333. WOFFORD

.LOX...NONE.
