SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
400 AM PDT WED APR 28 2010

.SYNOPSIS...

GUSTY WINDS WILL AFFECT MOST OF THE AREA THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS TODAY AND THURSDAY.
WINDS WILL CALM ON FRIDAY...AND TEMPERATURES WILL WARM THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND EVEN FURTHER MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-FRI)...
ONLY A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS REMAIN OVER EASTERN LA COUNTY THIS MORNING
AS A COLD FRONT EXITS THE REGION. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WERE GENERALLY
UNDER ONE TENTH OF AN INCH...BUT SOME SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FACING
AREAS OF SANTA BARBARA AND SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTIES SAW UP TO THREE
QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAIN. ANOTHER WEAK IMPULSE WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN
REMAINS NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION...WITH LITTLE ACCUMULATION
EXPECTED. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ALSO REMAINS OVER
NORTH FACING SLOPES OF THE LA AND VENTURA COUNTY MOUNTAINS THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES TODAY AND THURSDAY WILL REMAIN QUITE
COOL...WITH ONLY THE SBA SOUTH COAST EXPECTING ANY SLIGHT WARMING
WITH DOWNSLOPING WINDS.

THE MAIN STORY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE WINDS. THIS AFTERNOON
GRADIENTS TURN STRONGLY ONSHORE...WITH LAX-DAG UP TO 7.8 MB THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS COMBINED WITH PRETTY DECENT COLD AIR ADVECTION
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD GUSTY WEST WINDS
DEVELOPING OVER ALMOST THE WHOLE AREA BY THE AFTERNOON. ADVISORIES
HAVE BLANKETED MOST OF THE CWA FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND
HIGH WIND WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ANTELOPE VALLEY AND THE
LA/VTU COUNTY MOUNTAINS. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A GUST TO 70
MPH AT SOME OF OUR I-5 CORRIDOR STATIONS. BLOWING DUST MAY ALSO BE A
PROBLEM ACROSS THE ANTELOPE VALLEY...LIKELY THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

GRADIENTS TURN MORE NORTHWEST TO NORTH TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...AND
WINDS OVER THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND SOUTH COAST ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE THURSDAY EVENING. A HIGH WIND WATCH IS IN
EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS THURS EVENING THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING...AND GUSTS TO 60 MPH ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR THE
USUAL GUSTY CANYONS. ANOTHER ROUND OF ADVISORIES IS LIKELY FOR THE
LA AND VTU COASTS AND VALLEYS THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING.

BY FRIDAY MORNING...THE OFFENDING TROUGH CAUSING THE WINDS PUSHES
FAR EAST ENOUGH OF THE AREA TO ALLOW WINDS TO RELAX. TEMPERATURES
WILL START TO CLIMB BACK UP ON FRIDAY AS HEIGHTS RISE AND COLD AIR
ADVECTION IS SHUT OFF. NORTH SLOPE SHOWERS SHOULD ALSO CEASE TO BE
AN ISSUE BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS WELL.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...
THE LONG RANGE MODELS DIFFER A BIT WITH HANDLING THE NEXT WORK WEEK.
OVER THE WEEKEND...TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB BACK TO AT LEAST SEASONAL
NORMALS AS A WEAK RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE WEST COAST. BY SUNDAY
NIGHT...THE GFS TRIES TO PULL A CUTOFF LOW INTO NEVADA AND ARIZONA
BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY WINDS. THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO BUILD
THE RIDGE THROUGH TUESDAY. HAVE GONE WITH MORE OF THE RIDGING WARM
FORECAST...BUILDING TEMPS WELL INTO THE 80S ACROSS INLAND AREAS BY
TUESDAY. EITHER WAY...EXPECT DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE LONG TERM.

&&

.AVIATION...28/1200Z.

WILL BE UPDATED SHORTLY AFTER THE 12Z TAFS.
