SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
1045 AM PDT THU MAY 14 2009

UPDATE AVIATION DISCUSSION

.MORNING UPDATE...HIGH WIND WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES WILL BE EXPIRING
AT NOON TODAY, BUT WITH WINDS EXPECTED TO PICK UP TONIGHT I WILL BE
ISSUING ADVISORIES FOR MANY OF THOSE SAME AREAS FOR THE
OVERNIGHT/MORNING PERIOD. AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY CONDITIONS DONT
APPEAR TO BE AS STRONG AS PREVIOUS COUPLE NIGHTS SO ADVISORIES
SHOULD SUFFICE. NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGES EXPECTED AT LEAST
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM...EXCEPT FOR SOME PATCHY LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ACROSS CSTL
SXNS OF L.A. COUNTY THIS MORNING...SKIES WILL BE CLEAR ACROSS THE
FCST AREA TODAY. HIGH WIND WARNINGS FOR THE MTNS OF VTU AND L.A.
COUNTIES (EXCLUDING THE SANTA MONICA RANGE) AND THE MTNS OF SBA
COUNTY ARE WORKING OUT WELL. WINDS CONTD TO GUST OVER 60 MPH IN
MONTECITO HILLS AND THROUGH THE I-5 CORRIDOR. GUSTY WINDS WERE ALSO
AFFECTING THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY AND THE S CST OF SBA COUNTY BELOW
PASSES AND CANYONS...AND WIND ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THOSE
AREAS THIS MORNING. WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH LATER THIS
MORNING...BUT SOME GUSTY WINDS SHOULD CONT...PROBABLY AT ADVISORY
LEVELS IN THE MTNS FOR MOST OF THE DAY. GUSTY WINDS WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP ON THE CENTRAL COAST THIS AFTERNOON...AND SOME WINDS MAY
SPREAD INTO THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AND THE SANTA MONICA MTNS...BUT
EXPECT WINDS TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS IN THOSE AREAS. TEMPS
SHOULD BE UP SEVERAL DEGREES TODAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE VALLEYS.

N-S GRADS TIGHTEN UP AGAIN TONIGHT...BUT UPPER SUPPORT IS SOMEWHAT
WEAKER. WINDS SHOULD INCREASE AGAIN IN THE MTNS...ACROSS THE SBA
COUNTY S CST...AND IN THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY...BUT FEEL THAT WINDS
WILL REMAIN BELOW WARNING LEVELS. HOWEVER...WIND ADVISORIES WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED IN THOSE AREAS. HAVE LEFT SKIES MOSTLY CLEAR
TONIGHT/FRI MORNING...ALTHOUGH THE 06Z RUN OF THE WRF SHOWS MUCH
MORE IN THE WAY OF MOISTURE ON NRN SLOPES...ACROSS SLO AND NRN SBA
COUNTIES AND ACROSS CSTL SXNS OF L.A. COUNTY. IF LATER RUNS CONT TO
SHOW THIS...SOME LOW CLOUDS WILL HAVE TO BE ADDED TO THOSE AREAS.
850 AND 950 MB TEMPS EDGE UPWARD ON FRI...SUPPORTING SLIGHT WARMING
IN MOST AREAS. HOWEVER...A REDUCTION IN N-S GRADS WILL LIKELY LEAD
TO SOME COOLING ACROSS THE S CST OF SBA COUNTY AND ACROSS SOME
BEACHES ON THE CENTRAL COAST.

THE 06Z ALSO SHOWS AN EDDY CRCLN WITH SOME LOW CLOUDS ACROSS CSTL
SXNS OF L.A. AND VTU COUNTIES FRI NIGHT/SAT MORNING. HAVE LEFT THE
MOSTLY CLEAR FCST FOR NOW...BUT STRATUS MAY HAVE TO BE ADDED
TO CSTL AREAS S OF PT CONCEPTION. AS A STRONG UPPER HIGH BUILDS INTO
NRN AND CENTRAL CST AND EXPANDS...HEIGHTS/THICKNESSES BEGIN TO RISE
ACROSS THE AREAS ON SAT...AS DO TEMPS AT 850 AND 950 MB. THIS SHOULD
BRING SEVERAL DEGREES OF WARMING TO THE MTNS AND DESERTS. W OF THE
MTNS...THERE STILL WILL BE A MARINE INFLUENCE...ESPECIALLY ON THE
CSTL PLAIN...SO EXPECT ONLY SLIGHT WARMING IN THE VALLEYS AND
INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE CSTL PLAIN...WITH LITTLE CHANGE NEAR THE
COAST.

.LONG TERM...HEIGHTS/THICKNESSES WILL PEAK ACROSS THE AREA ON
SUNDAY...WHICH WILL LIKELY BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE NEXT WEEK
ACROSS THE REGION. HIGHS IN THE DESERTS...AT LOW ELEVATIONS
IN THE MTNS...AND IN THE INTERIOR VLYS OF SLO AND SBA COUNTY
WILL LIKELY APCH OR EXCEED 100 DEGREES ON SUNDAY. TEMPS IN CSTL AND
VLY WILL BE MORE TRICKY. WITH SOME MARINE INFLUENCE REMAINING ACROSS
THE CSTL PLAIN...DO NOT EXPECT EXCESSIVELY HIGH TEMPERATURES
SUN...ALTHOUGH THEY STILL SHOULD BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL. STILL A BIT
CONCERNED ABOUT THE SFC LOW SETTING UP IN THE BAY AREA...WHICH COULD
DRAW COOLER MARINE AIR NWD INTO THE L.A./VTU COUNTY VLYS...BUT
AT THIS TIME...THE BETTER FCST IS FOR A HOT DAY IN THE VLYS...WITH
MOST AREAS IN THE 90S. THE UPPER HIGH BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN ON
MONDAY. FALLING HEIGHTS/THICKNESSES AND INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW
SHOULD BRING A FEW DEGREES OF COOLING TO MOST AREAS...MOST
SIGNIFICANT W OF THE MTNS. MORE SIGNIFICANT AND WDSPRD COOLING IS
EXPECTED ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA ON TUE AS A LARGE TROUGH MOVES INTO
THE W CST. THE GFS IS FASTER AND MORE BULLISH WITH THIS TROUGH THAN
IS THE ECMWF...AND IF IT IS CORRECT...TEMPS MAY HAVE BE ADJUSTED
DOWNWARD A BIT IN MOST AREAS. EXPECT ADDITIONAL COOLING ACROSS THE
AREA ON WED AS ONSHORE FLOW INCREASES AND HEIGHTS FALL A BIT MORE.

&&

.AVIATION...14/1745Z.
MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF. MARINE LAYER CURRENTLY AROUND
1200 FEET AND SHOULD DEEPEN SLIGHTLY OVERNIGHT. EXPECTING KLAX AND
KLGB TO SEE A RETURN OF MVFR STRATUS IS A SIMILAR FASHION AS THIS
MORNING. KOXR AND KSMX MAY ALSO SEE SOME CLOUDS...BUT CONFIDENCE IS
LOW. SOME POSSIBLE EARLY FRI MORNING MVFR BR AS WELL.
OTHERWISE...VFR WILL BE THE NORM. TYPICAL ONSHORE WINDS
TODAY...EXCEPT A BIT MORE GUSTY AT KSMX KSBP KWJF AND KPMD.

KLAX...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN VFR THROUGH AROUND 11Z FRI...THOUGH
STRATUS WILL LINGER NEARSHORE INTO THE AFTERNOON. TYPICAL WEST
SEABREEZE WINDS...WITH WEAK SOUTHEAST WINDS IN THE MORNING.

KBUR...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF THROUGH 12Z FRI. THERE IS AN OUTSIDE
CHANCE OF MVFR BR AND POSSIBLE IFR CIGS AFTER 12Z FRI...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON THAT ASPECT.
