SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
155 PM PDT FRI MAR 26 2010

.SYNOPSIS...

MOSTLY SUNNY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE WINDS WILL TURN NORTHEAST BY
TONIGHT BRINGING FAIR SKIES AND WARMER TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND.
AN APPROACHING LOW WILL BRING MORE CLOUDS AND A COOLING TREND NEXT
WEEK AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS BY MIDWEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MON)...NORTHWEST FLOW STARTING TO SHIFT TO
NORTHEAST TODAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH OVER THE GREAT BASIN
STRENGTHENS. SUPPORT ALOFT FOR GUSTY WINDS IS MARGINAL TONIGHT AND
EARLY SAT, BUT SHOULD BE JUST ENOUGH TO GET ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS
ACROSS THE VENTURA AND LA MTNS AND VALLEYS. WINDS MAY EVEN BRIEFLY
APPROACH ADVISORY LEVEL ACROSS COASTAL VENTURA COUNTY AND IN THE
MALIBU/HOLLYWOOD HILLS AREA SATURDAY MORNING BUT WILL NOT ISSUE AN
ADVISORY FOR THOSE AREAS AT THIS TIME.

THE OFFSHORE FLOW AND BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL PUSH TEMPS WAY UP
SATURDAY, TOPPING 80 IN MANY OF THE VALLEYS SOUTH OF PT CONCEPTION
AND EVEN PORTIONS OF THE COAST. GOOD WARMING ALSO EXPECTED AREAS
NORTH OF THERE AS WELL.

VERY SIMILAR OR EVEN SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS SUNDAY, THOUGH WANING
UPPER SUPPORT AND SLIGHTLY WEAKER OFFSHORE FLOW SHOULD RESULT IN
WEAKER AND MORE ISOLATED WINDS.

COOLING TREND WILL START TO KICK IN MONDAY FOR COAST AND VALLEYS AS
OFFSHORE FLOW TURNS ONSHORE, THOUGH MOST AREAS STILL WELL ABOVE
NORMAL. MAY HAVE SOME MARINE LYR STARTING TO RETURN TO COASTAL AREAS
SOUTH OF SBA.

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...UNSETTLED IS CERTAINLY THE TERM TO DESCRIBE
THE WEATHER FROM MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK. 12Z GFS AND ECMWF BOTH CUT
DOWN QUITE A BIT ON THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND THUS PRECIP FOR THE
SYSTEM, THOUGH TIMING IS VERY SIMILAR WITH THE GFS STILL FASTER
OVERALL WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE PRECIP AND COLD AIR ALOFT BEHIND IT.
A SMALL CHANCE OF PRECIP FOR NORTHERN AREAS TUESDAY, WITH THE MAIN
PART OF THE SYSTEM COMING IN THE SOMETIME WED, FOLLOWED BY THE COLD
CORE LOW LATE WED INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. GIVEN THE SOMEWHAT CHANGEABLE
MODEL SOLUTIONS AND THE RELATIVELY SMALL TIME 12 HOUR TIME DURATIONS
IN THE FORECAST I THINK THE POPS IN THERE NOW ARE STATISTICALLY
APPROPRIATE AND MADE VERY FEW CHANGES. BEST CHANCE OF RAIN IS STILL
WED INTO WED NIGHT. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE COLDER AIR ALOFT
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THOUGH THURSDAY COULD BE QUITE INTERESTING AS
MODEL FORECAST 500 MB TEMPS NOW ARE -32C TO -34C! EVEN WITH TEMPS AT
THE SURFACE QUITE COOL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, THOSE SORTS OF TEMPS
ALOFT WILL RESULT IN GOOD LAPSE RATES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
STRONG CONVECTION (NOT TO MENTION LOW SNOW LEVELS). THUNDERSTORMS
ARE STILL NOT PART OF THE OFFICIAL FORECAST, BUT AS WE DRAW CLOSER
TO THE EVENT IF THE TRACK OF THE LOW STAYS ABOUT WHERE IT IS NOW
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CERTAINLY BE ADDED. PRECIP AMOUNTS ARE A REALLY
DIFFICULT FORECAST, ESPECIALLY WITH CONVECTION, BUT THE FRONT ITSELF
HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR DROPPING AROUND A HALF INCH OF RAIN, FOLLOWED
BY THE USUAL HIGHLY VARIABLE CONVECTIVE PERIOD WHERE AMOUNTS COULD
RANGE ANYWHERE FROM ZERO TO WELL OVER AN INCH WITH THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.AVIATION...26/1750Z.
CLEAR SKIES AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE THE NORM THROUGH SATURDAY
WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. HOWEVER...CERTAIN LOCATIONS SUCH AS
KBUR...KVNY AND POSSIBLY KOXR WILL SEE SOME OCCASIONAL DIFFICULTIES
WITH LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR DUE TO GUSTY WINDS THROUGH AND BELOW
PASSES AND CANYONS.

KLAX...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS.

KBUR...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS. OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR.

***NOTE***
THE ASOS EQUIPMENT AT KBUR...KVNY...KHHR...KCMA...AND KOXR HAS A
SOFTWARE ERROR THAT MAY LEAD TO INCORRECT CLOUD HEIGHTS WHEN THERE
ARE TWO OR MORE CLOUD LAYERS PRESENT. OBSERVATIONS AT KBUR WILL BE
QUALITY CONTROLLED 24 HOURS A DAY...OBSERVATIONS AT KVNY WILL BE
QUALITY CONTROLLED FROM 13Z-07Z...OBSERVATIONS AT KOXR WILL BE
QUALITY CONTROLLED FROM 15Z-05Z. TAFS FOR KVNY AND KOXR WILL NOT BE
AMENDED FOR CIGS DURING THE TIME THE OBSERVATIONS ARE NOT MONITORED
