SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
1155 AM PDT TUE OCT 17 2006

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED SOME THIS MORNING
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...ALLOWING THE WIND ADVISORY TO EXPIRE.
HOWEVER...SHOULD SEE A CONTINUATION OF NORTHERLY WINDS BETWEEN 20 AND
30 MPH WITH LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS THROUGH THIS EVENING ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS...WITH THE MAIN FOCUS BEING ACROSS THE PASSES AND CANYONS OF
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY AND THE INTERSTATE 5 CORRIDOR.

DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PASS
TO OUR EAST ACROSS THE DESERTS OF SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA. IN
ASSOCIATION AND BEHIND THIS WEATHER SYSTEM...THERE WILL BE A SUBSTANTIAL
INCREASE IN UPPER LEVEL WIND SUPPORT...SUBSIDENCE...AND THERMAL
SUPPORT. OFFSHORE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE QUICKLY AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT...FIRST AFFECTING THE MOUNTAINS. ACROSS OUR CWA...THE FOCUS
OF THIS SANTA ANA WIND EVENT WILL BE THE PASSES AND CANYONS OF LOS
ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL LIKELY AFFECT
THE MOUNTAIN PASSES...WHERE A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED (PLEASE
SEE LAXNPWLOX FOR MORE DETAILS). AREAS UNDER A HIGH WIND WATCH WILL
HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS OVER 60 MPH. WIND ADVISORIES WILL
LIKELY NEED TO BE POSTED WITH THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE FOR THE VALLEYS OF
LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES...AS WELL AS THE SANTA MONICA
MOUNTAINS. INITIALLY THIS OFFSHORE WIND EVENT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH
A FAIRLY COOL AIR MASS. EVEN WITH COMPRESSIONAL WARMING ON
WEDNESDAY...MOST TEMPERATURES IN COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS WILL
REMAIN IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S. AS THE OFFSHORE EVENT CONTINUES
ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THERE WILL BE GRADUAL WARMING OF THE AIR
MASS...AND WE SHOULD SEE TEMPERATURES CLIMB WELL INTO THE 80S AND
POSSIBLY 90 DEGREES IN SOME COASTAL AND VALLEY LOCATIONS.

THE COMBINATION OF STRONG OFFSHORE WINDS AND LOWERING HUMIDITIES ON WEDNESDAY
HAS PROMPTED A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE MOUNTAINS OF LOS ANGELES AND
VENTURA COUNTIES...AS WELL AS THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY MOUNTAINS (PLEASE
SEE LAXRFWLOX FOR MORE DETAILS). WHILE THE OFFSHORE WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO DIMINSH SOME ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITES WILL
LIKELY OCCUR ACROSS THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREAS...RESULTING IN THE EXTENSION
OF THE RED FLAG WARNING.

*** LONG TERM AND AVIATION FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ***

.LONG TERM...BROAD NWLY FLOW ALF ACRS THE AREA ON FRI. HGTS WILL
BEGIN TO LOWER AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY DIGS SWD INTO THE GREAT BASIN.
GRADS WILL BE WKLY OFFSHORE IN THE MORNING...THEN WILL FLIP ONSHORE
IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD BRING SOME COOLING TO AT LEAST THE
CSTL PLAIN...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE IMDT CST. VLYS MAY ALSO COOL A BIT
ON FRI. CONTD NWLY FLOW PATTERN WITH SLIGHT HEIGHT FALLS OVER THE
WEEKEND...BUT NOTHING MAJOR. THE 00Z RUN OF THE GFS HAD STRONGER
ONSHORE FLOW ACRS THE AREA WHICH WOULD INDUCE SOME COOLING. A QUICK
CHECK AT THE 06Z RUN NOW SHOWS SOME WK OFFSHORE FLOW DVLPG AGAIN
BRIEFLY ON SUNDAY...THEN BRINGS A WEAK UPPER LOW NWD TOWARD THE AREA
LATE SUN AND MON. FOR NOW...WILL CONT WITH THE GRADUAL COOLING TREND
OVER THE WEEKEND...AND KEEP CLOUDS TO A MINIMUM ACRS THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...
WEAK FRONTAL PASSAGE HAS CLEARED SKIES OVER MOST OF THE REGION AND
BROUGHT MODERATE ONSHORE WINDS TO MOST AIRFIELDS. THESE WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGH THE EVENING UNTIL TURNING N-NE BY EARLY
MORNING. THIS SANTA ANA WIND EVENT SHOULD STAY BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS
FOR ALL AIRFIELDS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KVNY. THE MOIST LAYER STILL
REACHES TO AROUND 3500 FEET...AND THAT COMBINED WITH A WEAK
INVERSION HAS LEFT AREAS OF THE LA BASIN WITH SCATTERED CLOUDS WHICH
SHOULD CLEAR OUT COMPLETELY BY 00Z. SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
CLEAR THROUGH AT LEAST 18Z TOMORROW.

KLAX HAS SCATTERED OUT FOR THE DAY AND IS EXPECTED TO STAY THAT WAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEABREEZE HAS ALREADY KICKED IN AT 10 KTS
AND SHOULD PICK UP TO NEAR 15 KTS AFTER 21Z.
