340 AM PDT TUE MAY 20 2008

.SHORT TERM...
BIG WINDS WILL DOMINATE THE FORECAST FOR THE SHORT TERM. WEAK FRONT
WILL PUSH THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND USHER IN COLD AIR AND A
VERY STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT. THIS WILL BE A NORTHWEST TO NORTH
FOCUSED EVENT AND WILL AFFECT THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SOUTH COAST
AND SANTA YNEZ RANGE AS WELL AS THE I-5 CORRIDOR AND THE ANTELOPE
VALLEY. TIMING OF ALL THE INGREDIENTS NOT PERFECTLY CLEAR AND IS
THE REASON THERE IS A WATCH UP FOR SBA COUNTY AND ADVISORIES FOR THE
MTNS AND THE ANTELOPE VALLEY IN VTA AND LA COUNTIES. FAIRLY SURE
THAT ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS WILL START LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND LAST
OVERNIGHT FOR L.A./VTA MTNS AND THE ANTELOPE VALLEY THEN WEDNESDAY
MORNING WITH THE BEST COLD AIR IS THE BEST CHANCE FOR WARNING LEVEL
WINDS. WORRIED THAT SBA COUNTY MAY JUMP RIGHT TO WARNING. WILL LET
DAY SHIFT EVALUATE 12Z RUNS AND MAKE THAT DECISION. CONTINUED WINDY
THROUGH THURSDAY WITH A VERY STRONG GRADIENT IN PLACE AND LOTS OF
UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. THE CENTRAL COAST AND THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY
WILL ALSO BE ON THE BRINK OF WIND ADVISORIES BOTH WED AND THU.

MARINE LAYER INTO MOST COASTAL AREAS AND WITH 10MB ONSHORE PUSH
FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON CLEARING MIGHT BE TOUGH. FORECASTING A
RETURN OF LOW CLOUDS TONIGHT BUT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE CENTRAL
COAST CLOUD DISSIPATION BY COLD AIR ADVECTION. BY THURSDAY THE
CENTRAL COAST WILL BE CLEAR. EDDY SHOULD KEEP LOW CLOUDS GOING FOR
L.A. COUNTY BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF COLD AIR WINS THE BATTLE
THERE ALSO PRODUCING CLEAR SKIES.

WILL SEE MAX TEMPS TODAY DOWN FROM MONDAY BUT STILL NEAR OR A DEGREE
ABOVE NORMAL BUT THEM WITH ALL THE COLD AIR WED AND THU LOOK FOR
TEMPS DROP TO BELOW NORMALS AND STAY THERE.

.LONG TERM...
EMPHASIS ON WINDS FADES BY FRIDAY AND CONCERN OVER CONVECTION STARTS.
GFS AND EC IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH SUNDAY AND THE GFS ENSEMBLES
STAY PRETTY COHERENT THROUGH SATURDAY. THE FEATURE THAT IS KILLING
THE FORECAST IS A LARGE CUT OFF LOW THAT PINCHES OFF FROM THE MAIN
FLOW THURSDAY. BY FRIDAY THE LOW RETROGRADES OVER SOCAL BUT THEN
PULLS UP AND WOBBLES OVER THE BAY AREA OR NEVADA FOR THE WEEKEND. BY
MONDAY THE GFS FORECASTS A WEAK TROF WHILE THE EC SENDS A RIDGE INTO
THE AREA. EITHER WAY MONDAY LOOKS UNEVENTFULLY. BUT...THE WEEKEND IS
INTERESTING. RIGHT NOW IT LOOK LIKE THE COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH
THE UPPER LOW WILL STAY FAR ENOUGH NORTH TO ELIMINATE THE CONVECTION
RISK. THIS KIND OF FORECAST CAN CHANGE WITH EACH AND EVERY MDL RUN
AND WILL HAVE TO MONITOR IT.
