SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
345 AM PST THU NOV 23 2006

.SHORT TERM...
A WEAK FRONT WASHING OUT OVER THE CENTRAL COAST WILL BRING PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES TO THE AREA TODAY...CLEARING SOME IN THE AFTERNOON AS
THE SYSTEM MOVES SOUTH AND EAST. THIS WILL USHER IN 48 HOURS OF
COOLING AS THKNS OVER KLAX DROPS FROM 562DM RIGHT NOW TO 551 DM IN
48 HOURS. ALL THE COLD AIR WILL CREATE BREEZY NORTH WINDS THROUGH
SATURDAY. RIGHT NOW KEEPING THE WIND SPEEDS BELOW WAD CRITERIA...BUT
SOMETIMES THESE LITTLE WEAK SYSTEMS CAN SURPRISE WITH THE WINDS AND
THIS WILL BE WELL WORTH WATCHING. THE NORTH FLOW TODAY WILL CREATE
UPSLOPE CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER THE NORTH SLOPES OF VTA
AND LAX COUNTIES MOUNTAINS. TEMPS WILL COOL A FEW DEGREES EACH DAY
AND BY SATURDAY ONLY A BARE FEW SITES WILL SEE 70 DEGREES...DESPITE

GFS 00Z SOLN WAS SLOWER PLACING THE RAIN SQUARELY ON MONDAY NOW 06Z
RUN IS SPEEDING THINGS UP. WILL KEEP POP BIAS TOWARDS MONDAY BUT
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THIS. EC AND GFS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT ABOUT
GENERAL PATTERN. RAIN CHANCE MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL COAST LATE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND LASTS INTO MONDAY...FURTHER SOUTH RAIN CHANCE
BEGINS IN EARNEST LATE SUN NIGHT. POPS LOW MOSTLY BECAUSE OF TIMING
ISSUES. IF POP PERIOD WERE 36 HOURS LONG WOULD USE LIKELY VALUES.

THIS FRONT DOES NOT GENERATE MUCH IF ANY SOUTH FLOW AND WILL BE
PUSHED ALONG NICELY BY STRONG NW FLOW. THIS WILL LIMIT QPF WITH
THIS SYSTEM. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A HALF INCH OR LESS STORM BUT
THERE IS STILL A WAYS TO GO BEFORE IT REALLY TIPS ITS HAND.

ANOTHER SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL REALLY COOL THINGS OFF. SOME VALLEY
LOCATIONS MAY NOT SEE 60 ON MONDAY.

FRONT SHOULD SCOOT OFF MONDAY NIGHT. STILL SOME SHOWER CHANCES
DURING THE EVENING...ESP ACROSS THE NORTH SLOPES WITH THE MOIST
NORTH FLOW.

TUESDAY SHOULD SEE SOME SUN AS THERE WILL BE QUICK CLEARING BEHIND
THE FRONT. CONTINUED COOL AND THE NEW COLD AIR WILL SET OFF ANOTHER
ROUND OF POST FRONTAL BREEZY CONDITIONS IN THE MTNS AND DESERTS.

WEDNESDAY MIGHT BE WARMER AND BREEZY AS LATEST GFS SHOWS A WARMING
AIR MASS AND OFFSHORE FLOW. WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW THIS PLAYS OUT
TOMORROW.
