SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA 945 AM PST THU NOV 22 2007 .SHORT TERM...FOG IS QUICKLY DISSIPATING WITH THE MORNING SUN ACROSS LA AND VENTURA COUNTY. VISIBILITIES ARE ALL ON THE RISE AND HAVE LET DENSE FOG ADVISORY DIE. SAME GOES FOR FREEZE WARNING ACROSS ANTELOPE VALLEY AND FROST ADVISORY ACROSS INTERIOR SAN LUIS OBISPO AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTY WHERE TEMPERATURES HAVE ALL CLIMBED ABOVE FREEZING. OTHERWISE A QUIET THANKSGIVING DAY ACROSS THE CWA FOR ALL. CURRENT FORECASTS RIGHT ON THE MARK AND NO OTHER CHANGES THIS MORNING. (FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION)...MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER PATTERN OVER THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS. ALL SHOW A RATHER VIGOROUS UPPER LOW OVER THE PAC NW DROPPING THRU NEVADA TODAY AND TONIGHT...REACHING NRN AZ BY EARLY FRI MORNING. EXPECT AREAS OF GUSTY NW TO NE WINDS ACROSS THE MTNS TONIGHT/FRI MORNING...BUT THEY SHOULD STAY BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS IN MOST AREA. EXPECT THE MARINE LAYER TO BE CONFINED TO CSTL SXNS OF L.A. AND VTU COUNTIES... POSSIBLY SQUEAKING INTO THE VLYS. MODELS ALSO INDICATE A BIT MORE COVERAGE ON THE CENTRAL CST. IT WILL BE ANOTHER COLD NIGHT ACROSS THE ANTELOPE VLY...THE INTERIOR VLYS OF SLO COUNTY...AND THE CUYAMA VLY...AND FREEZE WARNINGS/FROST ADVISORIES WILL PROBABLY BE NEEDED ONCE AGAIN. A VORT LOBE WRAPPING AROUND THE WRN SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW IN AZ WILL PULL IT WWD SOME LATE FRIDAY AND FRI NIGHT...CAUSING SIGNIFICANT TIGHTENING OF THE HEIGHT FIELD AT 500 AND 700 MB...AND A CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN WINDS AT THOSE LEVELS. IN ADDITION... MODELS SHOW A LARGE AREA OF FAIRLY STRONG SUBSIDENCE SWEEPING ACRS THE REGION. XPCT WINDS TO BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS THE MTNS OF L.A. AND VTU COUNTIES FRI AFTERNOON...THEN WINDS SHOULD REALLY PICK UP FRI NIGHT AS THE STRONG SUBSIDENCE SPREADS INTO THE AREA...FORCING RATHER IMPRESSIVELY STRONG WINDS DOWN TO 950 MB BY SAT MORNING. WIND GUSTS COULD EASILY REACH 60 TO 65 MPH OR EVEN GREATER IN THE MTNS OF L.A. AND VTU COUNTIES INCLUDING THE SANTA MONICAS DURING THE PEAK OF THE EVENT FRI NIGHT INTO SAT AFTERNOON...SO HIGH WIND WATCHES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE AREAS. AS SUBSIDENCE CONTS TO SPREAD INTO LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE... AND AS LOW LVL OFFSHORE GRADS CONT TO SHARPEN...XPCT STRONG WINDS TO BECOME WDSPRD IN THE VLYS OF L.A.

WITH LESS IN THE WAY OF WINDS...SAT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY SUN NIGHT COULD BE VERY COOL ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...WITH SOME FROST POSSIBLE ON THE CENTRAL CST...AND IN WIND SHELTERED VLY LOCATIONS. TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY. THE GFS IS MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED WITH A TROUGH MOVG THRU THE ERN PAC SUN AND SUNDAY NIGHT...THAN THE ECMWF WHICH MAINTAINS BROAD NWLY FLOW ACRS THE AREA. THE LATEST RUN OF THE GFS REALLY DIGS THIS SYSTEM TO OFF NRN BAJA BY MON AFTERNOON. WL GO WITH THE MORE CONSERVATIVE APCH SHOWN BY THE ECMWF WHICH MAINTAINS WKLY ANTICYCLONIC FLOW ALF ACROSS THE AREA THRU MON. THEN...THE GFS IS MUCH FARTHER W WITH THE TROUGH DIGGING SWD ACROSS THE WRN STATE TUE...WITH A COLD UPPER LOW FORMING RIGHT OVER THE AREA LATE TUE AND TUE NIGHT.
