SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
343 AM PDT SAT SEP 22 2007

.SHORT TERM...QUITE A WILD TIME ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE FCST AREA
LAST EVENING AND EARLY THIS MORNING. BANDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
SHOWER AND ISOLATED TSTMS ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW OFF THE
COAST HAVE BROUGHT SOME DECENT RAINFALL TO THE FCST...ESPECIALLY
ACRS L.A. AND ERN VTU COUNTIES. MANY LOCATIONS IN L.A. COUNTY AND
ERN VTU COUNTY HAVE REPORTED BETWEEN ONE HALF INCH AND ONE INCH
OF RAIN...ALTHOUGH TOTALS WERE LOWER IN THE ANTELOPE VLY AND ACRS
SRN CSTL SXNS. FLASH FLOODING WAS REPORTED ON CATALINA ISLAND...
AND RAINFALL RATES WERE HIGH ENOUGH ACRS PORTIONS OF L.A. COUNTY
TO PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING IN AND BELOW THE RECENT BURN AREAS.

EARLY THIS MORNING...THE UPPER LOW WAS CENTERED ABOUT 70 MILES SSW
OF PT CONCEPTION...AND IT WAS BEGINNING TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST.
BANDS OF SHOWERS...SOME HEAVY...AND ISOLATED TSTMS WERE CONTG TO
ROTATE INTO THE FCST AREA THIS MORNING...WITH THE FOCUS ACRS L.A.
COUNTY. VERY HEAVY SHOWERS AND TSTMS WITH THE COMMA HEAD OF THE
UPPER LOW WERE APCHG THE CST OF SRN SBA AND VTU COUNTIES AS WELL.
BASED ON RADAR AND SATELLITE...WILL JUST GO WITH SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLD TSTMS ACRS THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY.
ALTHOUGH THE BAND OF SHOWERS/TSTMS MAY LIFT TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF
THE AREA BY LATE MORNING...THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH MSTR AND
INSTABILITY TO KEEP A THREAT OF SHOWERS/TSTMS THRU THE
AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE MOST ACTION WILL
TAKE PLACE THIS MORNING. FLASH FLOOD WATCHES ARE IN EFFECT FOR
2006 AND 2007 BURN AREAS THROUGH NOON...AND THIS LOOKS GOOD AT THIS
TIME. SINCE THE UPPER LOW SPENT SO MUCH TIME OFF THE COAST...IT WILL
NOT BE QUITE AS COLD IN THE MTNS AS HAD BEEN EXPECTED...BUT SNOW
LEVELS SHOULD STILL LOWER TO ABOUT 7000 FEET...WITH LOCAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ABOVE THAT LEVEL. IT SHOULD STILL BE
QUITE COOL TODAY...ESPECIALLY WHERE IT STAYS MOSTLY CLOUDY.

THE UPPER LOW WILL LIFT INTO CENTRAL CA LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT...AND
DRIER W TO NWLY FLOW AND SUBSIDENCE WILL SPREAD ACRS THE AREA. FOR
NOW...HAVE LEFT POPS OUT OF THE FCST FOR TONIGHT...BUT LATER SHIFTS
MAY HAVE TO ADD A SLIGHT CHANCE OR CHANCE OF POPS THIS EVENING
FOR SOME AREAS. AS THE UPPER LOW OPENS UP AND LIFT NEWD TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY...HGTS/THICKNESSES ACRS THE AREA WILL RISE. WITH MORE IN
THE WAY OF SUNSHINE...AND WARMING THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE...EXPECT
SEVERAL DEGREES OF WARMING ACRS THE FCST AREA ON SUNDAY.

UPPER RIDGING WILL BUILD TOWARD THE W CST SUN NIGHT AND MON AND
HGTS/THICKNESSES WILL CONT TO RISE STEADILY. SOME LOW LVL NLY FLOW
COULD CAUSE GUSTY WINDS THRU AND BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS OF SRN SBA
COUNTY AND NEAR THE INTERSTATE 5 CORRIDOR SUN EVENING...THEN LOW LVL
FLOW WILL TURN NELY LATE SUN NIGHT/MON MORNING. THERE COULD BE SOME
LOCALLY GUSTY NELY WINDS THRU AND BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS OF THE
MTNS AND FOOTHILLS OF L.A. AND VTU COUNTIES...BUT WINDS DO NOT
LOOK STRONG AT ALL. TEMPS SHOULD WARM SEVERAL MORE DEGREES IN MOST
AREAS ON MONDAY...BACK TO ABOUT NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

.LONG TERM...FAIRLY BENIGN PATTERN SHAPING UP FOR NEXT WEEK. HGTS
WILL REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH ACRS THE AREA TUE THRU THU AS A WEAK UPPER
LOW DEVELOPS ACRS THE ERN PAC. EXPECT TEMPS TO BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL IN MOST AREAS. SKIES SHOULD BE MOSTLY CLEAR...ALTHOUGH
SOME STRATUS WL PROBABLY RETURN TO CSTL SXNS...AT LEAST THE CENTRAL
CST BY MID WEEK. THE WEAK UPPER LOW IS FCST TO APCH CENTRAL CA THU
NIGHT AND FRI...WITH A BROAD TROUGH EXTENDING SWD INTO THE FCST
AREA. THIS SHOULD BRING SOME COOLING TO THE AREA...AT LEAST W OF THE
MTNS FOR FRI.
