SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
130 PM PDT SAT SEP 23 2006

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-TUE)...TRULY AN UNUSUAL DAY IN TERMS OF WIND
CONDITIONS ACROSS OUR CWA. ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE WATERS, A
VERY STRONG EDDY-LIKE CIRCULATION IS CAUSING WINDS UP TO 30 MPH FROM
THE SOUTHEAST AND PATCHES OF LOW CLOUDS ARE LINGERING, ESPECIALLY
AROUND THE CHANNEL ISLANDS AND SBA SOUTH COAST. HOWEVER, GO INLAND
JUST A FEW MILES AND ITS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY. ALTHOUGH THEY
WERE SLOW TO START, NORTHEAST WINDS ARRIVED IN CAMARILLO AROUND NOON
AND THE TEMPERATURE THERE ROSE TO 90. SO THE POTENTIAL WAS THERE FOR
COASTAL AREAS TO REACH THOSE LOWER 90S AS PREDICTED. THE OFFSHORE
FLOW JUST WASNT ABLE TO OVERCOME THAT EDDY CIRCULATION AND MARINE
INVERSION ALONG MUCH OF THE COAST, PARTICULARLY IN LA COUNTY AND
TEMPS WERE MUCH COOLER THAN EXPECTED.

AND INLAND STILL, NORTHEAST WINDS HAVE BEEN PRETTY PERSISTENT SINCE
AROUND 9 AM. SO QUITE A HODGEPODGE OF TEMPERATURES TODAY WITH
VARIATIONS OF 20 DEGREES OR MORE IN A MATTER OF JUST A FEW MILES.

THE ORIGINAL WIND ADVISORY AND HIGH WIND WARNING WAS SCHEDULED TO
EXPIRE AT 3 PM TODAY. GIVEN THE WIND CONDITIONS NOW, IM INCLINED TO
LOWER THE WARNING FOR THE MTNS TO AN ADVISORY AND EXTEND IT THROUGH
NOON SUNDAY. FOR THE VALLEYS, THE BULK OF THE WIND APPEARS TO BE IN
VENTURA COUNTY, AND WITH LITTLE CHANGE INTO SUNDAY I THINK WINDS
THERE AND IN THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
AFTER A BRIEF LULL IN THE WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL
TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE OBS BEFORE 230 AND ISSUE AN UPDATE BY THAT
TIME.

ANOTHER DIFFICULT TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY. HOWEVER, GIVEN
THE DISSAPOINTING TEMPERATURES TODAY FOR MANY OF THE COASTAL ZONES
TODAY IVE LOWERED THE FORECAST HIGHS FOR SUNDAY AND LEFT THE REST
OF THE AREA ABOUT AS WE HAD IT.

COOLING TREND ON TAP FOR LOWER ELEVATIONS MON AND TUES WITH POSSIBLY
SOME MARINE LYR CLOUDS RETURNING TO THE COASTAL ZONES. MTNS AND
DESERTS WILL WARM UP A COUPLE DEGREES.

.LONG TERM (WED-SAT)...12Z GFS SOLUTION REVERTED BACK TO ITS WARM
SCENARIO FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK. ITS NOW MUCH MORE IN LINE
WITH THE ECMWF WHICH ALSO SHOWS A NICE RIDGE BUILDING OVER
CALIFORNIA AND THE GREAT BASIN. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WARMING TREND
IN THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...
MARINE LAYER INVERSION NEAR 030 AND SHRINKING...WITH VFR AT ALL
AIRFIELDS THROUGH TONIGHT. EAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONFINED
TO ABOVE THE MARINE LAYER...WHICH WILL CAUSE LLWS CONCERNS AT KVNY
AND KBUR THROUGH AROUND 23Z TODAY...AND REFORMING OVERNIGHT. KWJF
AND KPMD WILL HAVE SOME GUSTY EASTERLY WINDS TODAY AND ABOVE THE
SURFACE...AND MIGHT HAVE TO ADD SOME LLWS IF THE SURFACE WINDS
DO NOT MATERIALIZE LIKE THEY SHOULD. SMOKE MAY BE A CONCERN AT KSMX
AND KSBP DEPENDING IF THE FIRE INTENSIFIES THROUGH THE DAY.

OFFSHORE FLOW AND SHRINKING MARINE LAYER SHOULD  KEEP STRATUS FROM
FORMING OVERNIGHT AT ALL AIRFIELDS...BUT THERE IS A CHANCE
SOMETHING MIGHT FORM AT KSMX AND KSBP.

KLAX WILL BY VFR THROUGH TONIGHT. SE WINDS NEAR 08 KT SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON. CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW HOURS
ABOVE 10 KT...THROUGH THE STRONGER SE WINDS SHOULD REMAIN NE OF
KSMO. WIND SHOULD SWITCH TO SW LATE...AROUND 22Z-23Z...BECOMING
VARIABLE TO EASTERLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.
