SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
326 PM PDT SAT SEP 1 2007

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT-TUE)
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH SUNDAY BETWEEN THE
HOURS OF 10 AM TO 7 PM BOTH TODAY AND FOR SUNDAY FOR THE MOUNTAINS
AND VALLEYS OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES. ALSO ADDED THE SAN
LUIS OBISPO INTERIOR VALLEYS AS WELL. PASO ROBLES JUST MET GUIDANCE
AS TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPS AND DECENT RH VALUES WERE APPARENT AND
THEREFORE WAS ADDED THROUGH SUNDAY.

TEMPS SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO  YESTERDAY IN MANY LOCATIONS. DOWNTOWN
LOS ANGELES HAS REACHED 95 AND HAS PROBABLY PEAKED FOR THE
AFTERNOON. THE OTHER BIG CONCERN OF THE DAY IS THE RETURN OF
CONVECTION ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS OF LOS ANGELES...VENTURA AND
POSSIBLY SANTA BARBARA COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND THE ANTELOPE VALLEY.
CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS LOOKED GOOD ONCE AGAIN FOR THE LA COUNTY
MOUNTAINS AND THE ANTELOPE VALLEY FOR SLOW MOVING TO STATIONARY
THUNDERSTORMS TO INITIATE OVER THE LA COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND CONTINUE
ACROSS THE ANTELOPE VALLEY ONCE AGAIN TODAY. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS AFTERNOON FOR BOTH LA COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND
ANTELOPE VALLEY TODAY. LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES A FEW
CELLS DEVELOPING OVER THE SAN GABRIEL RANGE THIS AFTERNOON.
EXPECTING A SIMILAR DAY IN REGARDS TO CONVECTION AS YESTERDAY .
EXPECTING A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE VENTURA
AND SBA COUNTY MOUNTAINS TODAY AS WELL.

MONDAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE QUITE HOT AS UPPER LVL HIGH EXPANDS OVER
MUCH OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION. HEIGHTS WILL BEGIN TO LOWER
SLIGHTLY...AND WITH 950 MB TEMPS DOWN A DEGREE OR TWO...A VERY
SLIGHT COOLING TREND WILL BEGIN. HOWEVER...TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL
ABOVE AVERAGE AND THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MIGHT NEED TO BE
EXPANDED FOR LABOR DAY. ANOTHER THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
AFFECT THE SAME AREAS ONCE AGAIN. IN FACT...LATEST WRF/GFS MODELS
SHOW DECENT MONSOONAL FRONT...K INDEX AND LIFTED INDEX VALUES BECOMING
QUITE IMPRESSIVE ALL ACROSS THE INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA ON MONDAY. POPS IN THE LOCAL MOUNTAINS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY
MIGHT HAVE TO BE RAISED TO CHANCE WORDING IF MODELS CONTINUE TO
SHOW THIS NEXT INFLUX OF MID LVL MOISTURE STREAMING INTO THE AREA.
MID LVL WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE FAVORABLE TO KEEP THIS SAME
MONSOONAL PATTERN IN PLACE THROUGH TUES.  TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO
TREND DOWN ON TUE AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BREAKDOWN AND PUSH
FARTHER WEST AND NORTH OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC. TEMPS WILL STILL BE
IN THE LOWER TRIPLE DIGITS IN WARMEST VALLEYS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY.
UPPER LVL WINDS WILL BEGIN TO TURN MORE BROADLY SW IN DIRECTION IN
THE NORTHERN ZONES...SO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ONCE AGAIN FOR LA/VTU
COUNTY MTNS.

.LONG TERM...(WED-SAT)

WHAT IS NOW TROPICAL STORM HENRIETTE...AND LIKELY TO BECOME A
HURRICANE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL MOVE UP THE BAJA PENINSULA
THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN SLIGHT
DISAGREEMENT...BUT BOTH AGREE THAT WHAT WILL BE LEFT OVER SHOULD
STAY TO THE EAST THROUGH AZ. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO TREND COOLER BUT
REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THURSDAY. ALTHOUGH REMNANTS FROM WHAT
SHOULD BE HURRICANE HENRIETTE SHOULD MOVE EAST OF THE FORECAST
AREA...THERE COULD BE ENOUGH MOISTURE IN THE MID LEVELS TO CAUSE A
FEW SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. COOLING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY TO MORE NORMAL
TEMPS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
