Area forecast discussion, Mar 8, 3:00 AM PST, 33 minutes before

SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
300 AM PST SAT MAR 8 2008

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)...OVERALL...00Z GFS/WRF ARE YET
AGAIN ON THE SAME SYNOPTIC PAGE. AT UPPER LEVELS...A RIDGE WILL
REMAIN OVER THE WESTERN STATES THROUGH THE PERIOD...GRADUALLY MOVING
EASTWARD THROUGH MONDAY. NEAR THE SURFACE...WEAK TO MODERATE ONSHORE
FLOW DEVELOPS TODAY...THEN TURNS TO NORTHERLY THIS EVENING...THEN
NORTHEASTERLY SUNDAY AND MONDAY. AT THIS TIME...THE STRONGEST
OFFSHORE GRADIENTS AND BEST UPPER SUPPORT APPEAR TO DEVELOP SUNDAY
MORNING.

WITH THIS PATTERN...THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE WINDS. THE ONSHORE FLOW
TODAY WILL PRODUCE SOME GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
AND ANTELOPE VALLEY. AT THIS TIME...LEFT THE WINDS JUST BELOW
ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR ZONE 59...BUT DAY SHIFT WILL HAVE TO MONITOR
THE SITUATION CLOSELY AS THE WESTERLY WINDS COULD INCREASE TO
ADVISORY LEVELS. FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT SOME PRETTY GUSTY NORTH WINDS
TO DEVELOP THIS EVENING (MAINLY AFFECTING THE SANTA YNEZ RANGE AND
I-5 CORRIDOR) THEN TURN TO THE NORTHEAST SUNDAY MORNING AND PEAKING
IN STRENGTH. AT THIS TIME...WOULD EXPECT SOME ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS. HOWEVER GIVEN THE TIME PERIOD...
WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT MAKE THE CALL FOR TONIGHT.

THE POSITION OF THE UPPER RIDGE WILL KEEP THE AREA IN A GENERAL
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH MONDAY. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW
SOME MID/HIGH CLOUDS TO DRIFT ACROSS THE AREA...WARRANTING THE
MENTION OF PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH MONDAY.

AS FOR TEMPS...INLAND AREAS SHOULD REMAIN NEAR PERSISTENT TODAY...
WHILE AREAS WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS COOL SEVERAL DEGREES DUE TO THE
INCREASE IN ONSHORE FLOW AND EARLIER SEA BREEZE. FOR SUNDAY...THE
MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR A NICE WARMUP WEST OF THE
MOUNTAINS DUE TO COMPRESSIONAL WARMING WHILE COLD AIR ADVECTION
DROPS TEMPS A COUPLE OF DEGREES ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS.
ON MONDAY...OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BE WEAKER. THE WEAKER OFFSHORE FLOW
WILL ALLOW FOR SOME SLIGHT COOLING NEAR THE COAST DUE TO SEA BREEZE
WHILE VALLEY/MOUNTAIN/DESERTS AREAS WARM UP DUE TO LIMITED COLD AIR
ADVECTION EFFECTS.

.LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)...ON MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY
AN UPPER TROUGH MOVES INLAND ACROSS CALIFORNIA. THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING AN DRAMATIC INCREASE IN ONSHORE FLOW AND COOLER BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPS. SO...WILL EXPECT THE RETURN OF STRATUS/FOG TO THE COASTAL
PLAIN WITH NOTICEABLY COOLER TEMPS FOR ALL AREAS ON TUESDAY.

FOR WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE RECOVERS WHILE SOME WEAK
OFFSHORE GRADIENTS DEVELOP DURING THE NIGHT/MORNING HOURS. THIS
SHOULD PREVENT ANY STRATUS DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCE A WARMING TREND
FOR ALL AREAS WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY.

ON THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE FLATTENS AS A SYSTEM
MOVES ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE RETURN
OF ONSHORE FLOW. THIS WILL PRODUCE SOME STRATUS/FOG ACROSS THE
COASTAL PLAIN AND COOLER TEMPS FOR ALL AREAS.
