SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
300 AM PST TUE DEC 4 2007

.SHORT TERM...
MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. BUT LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
UPPER OR THERMAL SUPPORT AND EXPECT 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35
MPH WINDS TODAY. GAVIOTA PASS MAY BE A LITTLE STRONGER AND WILL HAVE
TO BE MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE WIND ADVISORY. WITH CLOUD FREE
SKIES...OFFSHORE FLOW AND 592DM HGTS LOOK FOR MANY MAX TEMPS TO BE
AT OR NEAR RECORD LEVELS TODAY. THE OFFSHORE FLOW AND VERY DRY AIR
WILL PRESENT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DANGER TODAY AND A RED FLAG
WARNING IS IN PLACE.

TONIGHT WILL BE WINDY. WIND ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR
NORTH WIND SUSCEPTIBLE LOCATIONS SUCH AS THE SBA COUNTY SOUTH
COAST...THE I-5 CORRIDOR...AND THE SANTA MONICA MTNS. WRF SHOWS
BUILDING UPPER SUPPORT THROUGH THE EVENING ALONG WITH 7 TO 8 MB
OFFSHORE FLOW TO BFL. LOW TEMPS WILL BE HIGHLY ERRATIC WITH DRY
AIR ALLOWING LARGE TEMP DROPS IN WIND SHELTERED AREAS BUT MINIMAL
DROPS IN THE BREEZY LOCATIONS.

THE RIDGE FLATTENS WEDNESDAY...COLD AIR DROPS IN BEHIND THE REMNANTS
OF A WASHED OUT COLD FRONT. HGTS DROP TO 576DM AND THE FLOW TURNS
ONSHORE BY AFTERNOON. STILL BREEZY IN THE MORNING ESP WITH THE COLD
AIR DUMPING IN...AGAIN IT WILL BE A NORTH FOCUSED EVENT. BUT TEMPS
WILL TUMBLE FROM TUESDAYS VALUES.

THURSDAY IS THE TRANSITION DAY FORM THE BREEZY OFFSHORE REGIME TO A
STORMY ONE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. OTHER THAN THAT IT WILL BE A FAIRLY
DULL DAY. CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY AS THE CIRRUS SHIELD
FROM THE UPCOMING STORM OVERSPREADS THE AREA. HGTS DROP TO 561DM AND
THE UPPER FLOW TURNS WESTERLY AS THE UPPER LOW SWINGS OUT OVER THE
OUTER WATERS OF NORTHERN CA. ONSHORE FLOW WILL INCREASE AND TEMPS
WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH INTO THE 60S.

.LONG TERM...
MODELS...UNFORTUNATELY...HAVE VERY DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT HOW THE
STORM IS GOING TO EVOLVE. GFS HAS HAD THE BEST RUN TO RUN
CONSISTENCY WITH THE STORM AND USED IT. BUT HAVE TO TEMPER ANY
FORECAST WITH THE FACT THE EC BRINGS THE UPPER LOW OVER THE CENTRAL
VLY AND PRODUCES VERY LITTLE RAIN. THE WRF IS SLOWER AND DRIER BUT
DID TREND A LITTLE WETTER FROM THE 00Z TO 06Z RUN. NONE OF TODAYS
MDL RUNS HAVE NEARLY THE SOUTH FLOW THAT WAS PRESENT IN YDYS RUNS.
STILL NOT TOO SURPRISED THAT THE MDLS ARE NOT CONSISTENT AND WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A MORE ROBUST SOLN IN TODAYS RUNS.

GFS FORECASTS LIGHT RAIN OVERSPREADING THE AREA LATER THURSDAY
EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE BAY AREA. THE LOW THEN MOVES
OVER THE CENTRAL COAST AND BRINGS THE BEST RAIN TO THE AREA EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING. LATER FRIDAY MORNING THE FRONT DRAGS THROUGH L.A.
COUNTY AND WILL BRING THEM THE BEST RAIN. THE UPPER LOW THEN
RETROGRADES BACK OVER CA AND WILL BRING WRAP AROUND SHOWERS TO THE
AREA LATER FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. AGAIN ACCORDING TO THE GFS
THE EC IS MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE AND DRIER. CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS
GOOD WITH LIKELY ON FRIDAY AND CHANCE ON SATURDAY. IT WILL BE
INTERESTING TO SEE HOW ALL THREE MDLS EVOLVE THE STORM TODAY.

TEMPS SHOULD BE RATHER COOL WITH THIS SYSTEM WITH 550 HGTS OVERHEAD
WITH TOTAL CLOUD COVER TEMPS MAY STRUGGLE TO REACH 60 BOTH FRI AND
SAT. SNOW LEVELS FRIDAY SHOULD REMAIN OVER 7000 FEET BUT WILL TUMBLE
SATURDAY TO NEAR 5000 FEET.

FROM SUNDAY ON THE EC AND GFS DIVERGE GREATLY AND FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS LOW. EC IS VERY DRY WHILE GFS HAS A LITTLE MOISTURE
WITH IT. FORECAST IS A FAIRLY GENERIC PARTLY CLOUDY ONE WITH TEMPS
NEAR NORMAL...AGAIN CONFIDENCE IS QUITE LOW.
