SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
300 PM PDT MON MAR 26 2007

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT-THURSDAY)
A LARGE TROUGH WILL TRAVERSE THE AREA TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...BRINGING
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO OUR WEATHER. FIRST...LIMITED MOISTURE AND
WEST TO NORTHWEST LO LEVEL FLOW WILL LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF RAIN TO
ACCOMPANY THE SYSTEM...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION.
HOWEVER...STRONG DYNAMICS AND COOLING SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO BRING SOME
LIGHT RAIN TO MOST LOCATIONS. IN FACT...TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL COOL
TO AROUND -23C AT 500 MB WHICH MAY BE ENOUGH FOR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL TOTAL AROUND
ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION...WHILE SOUTH
OF POINT CONCEPTION AMOUNTS WILL MOSTLY BE CONFINED TO LESS THAN ONE
QUARTER INCH...ALTHOUGH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH
THUNDERSTORMS. IN THE MOUNTAINS...PLENTY OF COLD AIR WILL DROP THE
SNOW LEVEL PRECIPITOUSLY THIS EVENING FROM 7000 FEET TO 3500 FEET AS
THE COLD AIR ARRIVES LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY WEDNESDAY. THE SNOW
AMOUNTS WILL TOTAL 1 TO 3 INCHES IN MOST AREAS. THE GRAPEVINE
SECTION OF INTERSTATE 5 WILL BE VULNERABLE TO WINTER WEATHER DRIVING
CONDITIONS AS THE COLD AIR ARRIVES. MAY NEED TO ALSO HIGHLIGHT THE
LOW WIND CHILL VALUES ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS BECAUSE OF COLD
TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH STRONG WINDS. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION
WILL FALL TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY. AFTER THAT POINT...STRONG
NORTHWEST FLOW AT ALL LEVELS WILL DRY THE ATMOSPHERE EXCEPT OVER THE
NORTHERLY SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAINS WHERE SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL PERSIST
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT DUE TO UPSLOPE FLOW.

THE MAIN STORY WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE WINDS AS FORECAST
CHARTS WERE SHOWING A VERY STRONG WESTERLY JET OF 125 KT SWEEPING
ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. THE CURRENT HIGH WIND
WATCH LOOKS VERY GOOD AND WILL LIKELY BE CONVERTED TO A WARNING WITH
THIS AFTERNOONS PACKAGE. THE WARNING WILL COVER THE LA/VENTURA
COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND THE ANTELOPE VALLEY WHERE MOS DATA WAS SHOWING
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SUFFICE IT TO
SAY THAT BLOWING DUST COULD BECOME A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR THE ANTELOPE
VALLEY ON TUESDAY DUE TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER.

TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO TAKE A TUMBLE ON TUESDAY DUE TO THE COLD AIR
ARRIVING WITH THE COLD FRONT.

SKIES WILL CLEAR AND TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY MODERATE WEDNESDAY AS
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW
AND CONTINUED RIDGING WILL RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE WARMING FOR
THURSDAY UNDER CLEAR SKIES.

.LONG TERM...(FRI-MON) WARM TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILL
COOL LATER IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE RIDGE OVER THE
WEST COAST FLATTENS. SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR. ONSHORE FLOW
WILL BRING A RETURN TO LOW CLOUDS AND FOG SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY.

.AVIATION...26/1830Z
MARINE LAYER DEEPENING RAPIDLY AT THIS POINT. CURRENT OBSERVATIONS
SHOW DEPTH NEAR 030...BUT SHOULD PUSH TO NEAR 040 BY 21Z. DRIZZLE
HAS BEEN REPORTED AT VARIOUS SITES S OF KSMX...AND WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW MORE REPORTS THROUGH ABOUT 23Z. EXPECTING
STRATUS TO STAY AROUND THROUGH AT LEAST 22Z...AND VERY WELL MAY NOT
BURN OFF AT ALL AT SOME SITES UNTIL TONIGHT. ALL SITES SHOULD SEE
MVFR CATS...EXCEPT FOR THOSE NEAR MTN SLOPES...LIKE KBUR AND
KVNY...WHICH MAY CONTINUE TO SEE IFR CONDITIONS THOROUGH ABOUT
20Z...BEFORE IMPROVING TO MVFR. KSMX AND KSBP WILL SEE STRATUS
ERODE BY 20Z...WITH VFR CONDITIONS THEREAFTER. WIND WILL PICK UP
TODAY...WITH ONSHORE CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AT KSMX KSBP AND KLAX.
WINDS WILL BE IN THE 20 KT RANGE AT KWJF AND KPMD AFTER 21Z.

COLD FRONT TO IMPACT THE AREA TONIGHT. RAIN TOTALS WILL BE
LIGHT...WELL LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH EXPECT EVERYWHERE. NOT
EXPECTING MUCH S OF KSBA...BUT THERE MAY BE ENOUGH TO JUST WET THE
GROUND. CONFIDENCE IS LOW ENOUGH THAT TAFS WILL JUST MENTION BROAD
VCSH AT THOSE SITES. HOPEFULLY 0Z ISSUANCE WILL HAVE A BETTER IDEA
BASED ON WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE NORTH AS TO HOW MUCH MOISTURE THIS
SYSTEM REALLY HAS.  WIND WILL PICKUP AS WELL OVERNIGHT...WITH A VERY
WINDY DAY ON TAP FOR TUES.

KLAX WILL CONTINUE TO SEE STRATUS DECKS THROUGH 23Z ON THE
OPTIMISTIC SIDE...THOUGH I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT STAYS
BKN-OVC UNTIL LATE THIS EVENING. IN THAT CASE...CIGS SHOULD IMPROVE
TO VFR ABOVE 030 BY 23Z. WESTERLY SEABREEZE SHOULD KICK IN AROUND
20Z...A BIT STRONGER THAN NORMAL...WITH SOME GUSTY OBS TO 18KT
POSSIBLE. NORTHWESTERLY WINDS NEAR 10KT WILL SETTLE IN AFTER 04Z AND
CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT. COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH SHOULD NOT
BRING MORE THAN A VERY LIGHT SHOWER OR TWO...IF ANYTHING AT ALL. SEE
SECTION ABOVE FOR MORE ON THAT. WINDY DAY ON TAP TUESDAY.

KBUR WILL CONTINUE TO SEE STRATUS DECKS THROUGH 23Z ON THE
OPTIMISTIC SIDE...THOUGH I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT STAYS
BKN-OVC UNTIL EARLY THIS EVENING. IFR CATS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR BY
19Z-20Z...AND COULD GO TO VFR ABOVE 030 AFTER 0Z IF IT STAY CLOUDY
ALL DAY. COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH SHOULD NOT BRING MORE THAN A VERY
LIGHT SHOWER OR TWO...IF ANYTHING AT ALL. SEE SECTION AT TOP FOR
MORE ON THAT. WINDS WILL REMAIN SOUTHERLY THROUGH ABOUT
08Z...SHIFTING TO NWLY BY 10Z AFTER THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG NW WINDS STILL ON TAP FOR THE COASTAL WATERS STARTING TONIGHT
AND CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. AT THIS TIME...HAVE ISSUED
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR ALL COASTAL WATERS ZONES. HOWEVER...WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE WINDS REACH GALE LEVELS LATE TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY. WILL UPGRADE IN LATER PACKAGES WHEN CONFIDENCE INCREASES.

ALSO FROM TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A LARGE WESTERLY SWELL WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. THIS SWELL...COMBINED WITH THE CHOPPY WIND
WAVES...WILL PRODUCE VERY TREACHEROUS SEAS FOR MARINE VESSELS. SEE
MWSLOX FOR MORE DETAILS.

...COLD AND WINDY WEATHER WITH A THREAT OF SHOWERS FOR THE SOUTHLAND...

A LATE SEASON COLD PACIFIC STORM WILL AFFECT CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. AREAS OF DRIZZLE OR LIGHT RAIN
COULD PRECEDE THE COLD FRONT...ESPECIALLY IN FOOTHILL AND MOUNTAIN
AREAS. THIS FAST MOVING COLD FRONT COULD BRING A QUICK SHOT OF RAIN
TO SAN LUIS OBISPO AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES THIS EVENING. THIS
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION...
BUT THERE IS STILL A THREAT OF RAIN FOR VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES
COUNTIES OVERNIGHT. BEHIND THE FRONT...A MUCH COLDER AND SLIGHTLY
UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL BRING A THREAT OF SHOWERS THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR AREAS NORTH OF
POINT CONCEPTION...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND
SMALL HAIL.

DUE TO THE SHOWERY NATURE OF THE PRECIPITATION...RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE WIDELY VARIABLE...WITH SOME AREAS RECEIVING UP TO ONE
THIRD OF AN INCH...AND SOME AREAS RECEIVING LITTLE OR NO RAIN. AT THIS
POINT...IT APPEARS THE BEST CHANCES OF MEASURABLE RAIN WILL BE AREAS
NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION AND THE MOUNTAINS. SNOW LEVELS WILL RAPIDLY
FALL OVERNIGHT...FALLING TO BETWEEN 3000 AND 4000 FEET ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA BY LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS UP TO 3
INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM...WITH ACCUMULATING SNOW
POSSIBLE IN THE GRAPEVINE AREA ALONG INTERSTATE 5.

SINCE THIS STORM SYSTEM IS TRACKING FURTHER INLAND THAN FIRST
ANTICIPATED...IT WILL BRING WIDESPREAD GUSTY WINDS TO THE REGION
LATER TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
OCCUR ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS OF SANTA BARBARA...VENTURA...AND LOS
ANGELES COUNTIES...AS WELL AS THE ANTELOPE VALLEY. THESE AREAS
ARE CURRENTLY UNDER A HIGH WIND WATCH...SINCE THERE WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OVER 60 MPH. IN ADDITION...MANY
COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS MAY REQUIRE WIND ADVISORIES. FOR MORE
INFORMATION ON THE GUSTY WINDS...PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST HIGH WIND
WATCH/WIND ADVISORY PRODUCT (LAXNPWLOX).

THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BRING MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES TO THE REGION
LATER TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF COLD
TEMPERATURES AND STRONG WINDS COULD BRING VERY LOW WIND CHILL
READINGS INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS DURING THIS
PERIOD.

PLEASE STAY TUNED TO YOUR LATEST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS
AND STATEMENTS ON THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATION.
