SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
409 AM PST SAT JAN 2 2010

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG OFFSHORE SURFACE GRADIENT BENEATH DEVELOPING
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS IN SOME
LOCATIONS TODAY. A WARMING TREND WILL PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE
WEEKEND. DRY AND MILD CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MONDAY)...A STRONG NORTHERLY SURFACE GRADIENT
CONTINUES TO DEVELOP THIS MORNING OVER THE AREA AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS OVER THE REGION. SEVERAL POTENTIALLY DAMAGING GUSTS AROUND
60 MPH HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED OVER THE LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA
COUNTY MOUNTAINS THIS MORNING. WITH NAM-WRF AND 13-KM RUC
SOLUTIONS INDICATING 20 TO 35 KNOTS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER OVER
THE WESTERN LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND EASTERN VENTURA COUNTY LATER
THIS MORNING AND SURFACE GRADIENTS STRONGLY OFFSHORE...WIND
ADVISORIES WERE EXPANDED TO THE MALIBU AND HOLLYWOOD HILLS IN THE
LOS ANGELES COUNTY COAST...AND THE SAN FERNANDO AND VENTURA COUNTY
VALLEYS. WIND ADVISORIES FOR THE LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTY
MOUNTAINS WERE UPGRADED TO HIGH WIND WARNINGS.

WITH STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW IN PLACE...TEMPERATURES WERE BUMPED UP
A BIT FOR THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. THE WARMEST DAY WILL LIKELY
BE SUNDAY AS OFFSHORE GRADIENTS REMAIN STRONGLY OFFSHORE...BUT
UPPER-LEVEL SUPPORT FOR ANY STRONG OFFSHORE WIND WANES. THE AIR
MASS WILL LIKELY STAGNATE ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO BUMP UP A
COUPLE ADDITIONAL DEGREES ON SUNDAY. IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE FOR A
FEW LOCATIONS TO POSSIBLE TOUCH 80 DEGREES ON SUNDAY.

OFFSHORE FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE TO WEAKEN ON MONDAY AFTER THE RIDGE
AXIS SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND SOUTHWEST FLOW
ESTABLISHES. A COOLING TREND SHOULD DEVELOP TO START THE WORK
WEEK...BUT A LOT WILL DEPEND ON THE MOVEMENT AND LOCATION OF THE
SURFACE THERMAL TROUGH ALONG THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST.

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY-FRIDAY)...A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL PUSH
OVER THE REGION IN A UPPER-LEVEL NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN FOR THE
REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL LIKELY KEEP THE AREA DRY AND
MILD THROUGH THE LONG-TERM PERIOD...WITH AT LEAST A WEAK
NORTHERLY GRADIENTS IN PLACE OVER THE AREA. TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN
RAISED SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE PERIOD TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. MODELS
STILL COULD BRING IN A STORM SYSTEM FOR THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR
LATE NEXT WEEK...BUT POPS HAVE BUMPED DOWN TO ADJUST FOR BETTER
TIMING WITH THE MODEL SOLUTIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...02/1200Z.
VFR LIKELY THROUGH THE EVENING THEN A CHANCE OF SOME MVFR FOG
ALONG THE COAST...EXCEPT KPRB WHICH COULD BE LIFR WITH CIGS AND
VIS AFTER DAWN. STRONG WINDS THROUGH THE MTNS WILL CREATE
