SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
910 AM PDT SAT SEP 25 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD IN ACROSS THE REGION.
THE COMBINATION OF THIS HIGH PRESSURE AND WEAK OFFSHORE PERSISTING
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL  BRING A SHARP WARMING TREND ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. THE PEAK OF THIS HEAT WAVE WILL BE SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY. A GRADUAL COOLING TREND WILL BE LIKELY BY MID WEEK...WITH
MORE SIGNIFICANT COOLING EXPECTED BY NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MON)...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST
EXPECTED. HOT WEATHER IS HERE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. OFFSHORE
GRADIENTS A LITTLE STRONGER THAN MODELS HAD PREDICTED BUT LACK OF
UPPER SUPPORT IS KEEPING WINDS VERY ISOLATED SO NO ADVISORIES
EXPECTED. STILL EXPECT HOTTEST DAYS TO BE SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH
WARMER VALLEY LOCATIONS APPROACHING 110.

***FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION***

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...
BOTH GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT IN SHIFTING THE HIGH
EAST ACROSS NV/UT WITH A WEAKER RIDGE AXIS ACROSS MUCH OF
CALIFORNIA. WITH HEIGHTS STARTING TO LOWER A BIT AND A QUICKER
RETURN OF THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE NEAR THE COAST...HIGH
TEMPS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE IMMEDIATE COAST SHOULD SEE THE FIRST
RELIEF OF COOLER TEMPS. HOWEVER...HOT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE INLAND REGION WITH TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPS STILL WIDESPREAD
ACROSS VALLEYS AND MOST INTERIOR REGIONS.

BY WEDNESDAY...THE FORECAST COULD GET A LITTLE COMPLICATED. THE ONE
CONSTANT FOR WED IS THAT THIS SHOULD BE THE START OF A MORE
SIGNIFICANT COOLING TREND. A WEAK TROUGH FROM THE ERN PAC WILL START
TO PUSH TOWARDS CALIFORNIA...WHILE ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
BEGINS TO TREK NORTH TOWARDS BAJA. ALTHOUGH THE FLOW PATTERN IS
CONDUCIVE OF DRAWING IN SOME MID LEVEL SE FLOW ON WED...700-500 MB
MOISTURE IS LACKING THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THERE IS EVEN A
COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED ACROSS THE SW PERIPHERAL OF THE HIGH
THAT COULD BRING SOME CLOUDS AND EVEN A SHOT AT SOME PRECIP...BUT
LOOKS A LITTLE FAR FETCHED AT THIS POINT. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THOUGH.

FOR THU AND FRI...TEMPS SHOULD CONTINUE TO LOWER A BIT. TEMPS WILL
BEGIN TO TREND TOWARDS NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR BY FRIDAY.
ANOTHER TROUGH LOOKS TO PUSH THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE WEEKEND
WHICH SHOULD LOWER TEMPS A FEW MORE DEGREES. ALSO A RETURN OF MARINE
LAYER ACROSS COAST AND POSSIBLY COASTAL VALLEYS BY FRI MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION...25/0930Z VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 24
HOURS.

KLAX AND KBUR...HIGH CONFIDENCE WITH CAVU TAFS.
