235 PM PDT TUE JUN 19 2007

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT-FRI)

...HOT TEMPERATURES TO AFFECT INLAND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN
CALIFORNIA THROUGH REST OF WEEK...

LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED BROAD CLEARING OF STRATUS WELL TO
THE WEST OF CATALINA ISLAND THIS AFTERNOON. LAX PROFILER DATA SHOWS
SIGNIFICANT HEATING ABOVE 2000 FT THIS AFTERNOON. UP 6 DEGREES
CELSIUS FROM 24 HOURS AGO. MARINE LAYER WILL CONTINUE TO SHRINK
OVERNIGHT WITH ONLY PATCHY LOW CLOUDS AND FOG EXPECTED INTO LIMITED
VALLEY LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT. WENT AHEAD AND BUMPED UP TEMPS FOR WED
THROUGH FRI AS UPPER LVL HIGH LOOKS QUITE IMPRESSIVE WITH 593 TO 594
DM HIGH FORECAST TO SIT ONTOP OF SO CAL OVER THE PERIOD. THE ONLY
QUESTION WILL BE IF THE BROAD TROF OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL CAL
DEEPEN A LITTLE...IT COULD PUSH UPPER LVL HIGH FURTHER SOUTH AND
COOL TEMPS SLIGHTLY. FEEL CONFIDENT THAT STRONG HIGH WILL PERSIST
OVER SO CAL THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. SOME VALLEY HIGHS SHOULD REACH
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S BY TOMORROW. WITH THE ANTELOPE VALLEY
REACHING 100 POSSIBLE AS EARLY AS TOMORROW. MARINE LAYER WILL
CONTINUE TO SHRINK WED NIGHT TO BELOW 1000 FT. MOST AREAS WILL SEE
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER TEMPS BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH MANY
INLAND LOCATIONS WILL BE IN THE 90S AND LOWER 100S...INCLUDING THE
ANTELOPE VALLEY...MOUNTAINS AND VALLEY LOCATIONS. WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF THE IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS WHICH WILL STILL BE UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF THE MARINE LAYER AND ONLY A FEW DEGREES OF WARMING
EXPECTED.

WRF MODEL INDICATED SOME LOCAL GUSTY WINDS SETTING UP ACROSS THE
SANTA BARBARA S COAST AND MOUNTAINS WED EVENING...WITH STRONGER
WINDS AGAIN ON THU EVENING AND FRI EVENING. EXPECT GUSTY NORTHWEST
TO NORTH WINDS 20 TO 30 MPH WITH LOCAL GUSTS TO 45 MPH. TEMPS COULD
ALSO JUMP UP BRIEFLY AFTER SUNSET ACROSS THE SBA SOUTH COAST. THIS
IS THE PEAK TIME OF YEAR FOR STRONG SUNDOWNERS TO OCCUR.

WITH HOT TEMPS EXPECTED AND VERY LOW RH VALUES ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS...A RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR ALL MOUNTAIN
ZONES...EXCLUDING THE SANTA MONICA RANGE THROUGH THU MORNING. THERE
WILL ALSO BE A FIRE WX WATCH FOR THE SANTA BARBARA MOUNTAINS AND
SOUTH COAST THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH SAT EVENING DUE TO GUSTY
SUNDOWNER TYPE WINDS AND LOW RH VALUES. FOR DETAILS...PLEASE SEE
(LAXRFWLOX) PRODUCT.

.LONG TERM...(SAT-TUE)
BOTH GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO STAY IN AGREEMENT THAT RIDGE AXIS
WILL PERSIST OVER SO CAL THROUGH TUE. NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE LONG
TERM...EXCEPT A FEW DEGREES OF COOLING WILL BE LIKELY OVER THE
PERIOD...WITH HIGH TEMPS REMAINING WARMER THAN NORMAL. NIGHT THROUGH
MORNING LOW CLOUDS SHOULD STAY LIMITED TO COASTAL AREAS AS WELL
THROUGH PERIOD. DID NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A HINT OF 500 TO 700 MB
MOISTURE THAT BEGINS TO CREEP UP FROM BAJA ON TUE. THIS COULD
TRANSLATE INTO A FEW CU POPPING UP OVER THE LA COUNTY MOUNTAINS ON
TUE. DID NOT MENTION IN THE ZONES AT THIS TIME SINCE LATER MODEL
RUNS COULD FLIP-FLOP...HOWEVER WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

&&

.AVIATION...19/1700Z

THE MARINE LAYER CLEARED EARLY THIS MORNING AND THE LATEST TRENDS
SHOW A REDUCTION IN MARINE CLOUD COVERAGE AND DURATION THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. THEREFORE...THE FORTHCOMING TAF PACKAGE WILL BE
ADJUSTED TO REDUCE THE DURATION AND COVERAGE OF MARINE CLOUDS.

KLAX...FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE MARINE LAYER MAKING A
REAPPEARANCE AROUND MIDNIGHT. CLEARING ON WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED
AROUND 16-17Z.

KBUR...THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT REGARDING THE REAPPEARANCE OF LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG IS A VERY LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST. THE MARINE LAYER
WILL SHRINK TO A DEPTH OF 1500 FEET WHICH IS RIGHT NEAR THE CRITICAL
DEPTH FOR IMMERSION OF THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY IN LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG. DECIDED TO INCLUDE LIMITED INFLUENCES FROM THE MARINE LAYER BY
EARLY MORNING.
