SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
215 PM PDT TUE NOV 1 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

OFFSHORE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A QUICK WARMUP ON WEDNESDAY
WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS IN LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES. A LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH WILL BRING CLOUDY SKIES AND POSSIBLE PRECIPITATION
ON FRIDAY WITH SIGNIFICANT COOLING. EXPECT ONLY SLIGHTLY WARMER
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER COLD
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-FRI)...MARINE LYR STARTING TO DISSIPATE THIS
AFTERNOON AS IT STARTS TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THE DEVELOPING
OFFSHORE FLOW FOR TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THE 12Z AND 18Z NAM BOTH
SPED UP THE TIMING OF THE ONSET OF WIND AS WELL AS INCREASED THE
STRENGTH. THIS STILL KEEPS MOST OF THE VALLEYS AND COASTAL AREAS OF
VENTURA AND LA COUNTIES IN ADVISORY CRITERIA, HOWEVER THE HIGHER
PORTIONS OF THOSE ZONES AS WELL AS THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY WILL
LIKELY SEE WARNING LEVEL GUSTS DEVELOPING TONIGHT. ALSO UPGRADED THE
SANTA MONICA MTNS AND VENTURA COUNTY MTNS TO A WARNING, THOUGH WITH
THE LATTER WINDS WILL BE MOSTLY CONFINED TO THE EXTREME EASTERN
PORTION OF THAT ZONE WHERE SURFACE OBS DON'T EXIST. IN ANY CASE, A
STRONG SANTA ANA EVENT IS EXPECTED AND PEOPLE IN THE WARNED AREAS
SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS NOW. THE COLD AIR ADVECTION DRIVING THESE
WINDS SHOULD ALSO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH GUSTY WINDS OUT TOWARDS
THE CHANNEL ISLANDS AND CATALINA.

HIGHS WILL BE A LITTLE TRICKY WEDNESDAY, BUT TYPICALLY WITH THESE
STRONG EVENTS THE COASTAL AREAS ARE BY FAR THE WARMEST. TRIMMED A
FEW DEGREES OFF THE VALLEY, MTN, AND DESERT HIGHS BUT LEFT THE
COASTAL AREAS MOSTLY IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S.

THIS WILL BE A VERY QUICK HITTING SANTA ANA WIND EVENT AS A TROF
WILL MOVE INTO THE ERN PACIFIC LATE WED INTO THURSDAY AND QUICKLY
TURN GRADIENTS ONSHORE. LOOK FOR HIGHS THU TO BE SIMILAR TO TODAY'S
LEVELS, MEANING A GOOD 10-15 DEGREE DROP FOR COASTAL ZONES AND 4-8
DEGREES LOWER FOR THE VALLEYS.

A VERY COLD BUT MOSTLY MOISTURE STARVED SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE
AREA LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THE TRAJECTORY OF THE STORM IS
MOSTLY FROM THE NORTH, MEANING BASICALLY NO SOUTH FLOW AND UPWARD
FORCING AT LOW LVLS TO GENERATE MUCH PRECIP SOUTH OF PT CONCEPTION.
THE GFS IS TAKING THE LOW AND COLD CORE FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE NAM
AND THUS A SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ACROSS LA/VENTURA
COUNTIES ON FRIDAY. FOR NOW I BUMPED UP POPS JUST A TAD INTO THE
20-30 RANGE, BUT EITHER WAY ANY PRECIP WILL BE LIGHT AND
INSIGNIFICANT. MAIN THING WILL BE MUCH COOLER TEMPS FRIDAY, FOLLOWED
BY SOME GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS DEVELOPING MAINLY IN THE MOUNTAINS AND
OUTER COASTAL WATERS LATE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRIDAY STORM
WILL LIKELY CLEAR ANY MARINE LYR OUT OF THE AREA SO MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES EXPECTED SATURDAY SAVE FOR SOME POSSIBLE MORNING CLOUDS/FOG
FOR OUR UPSLOPE AREAS BORDERING KERN COUNTY. BREEZY AND COOL IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS GENERALLY 5-15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. A SECOND
SYSTEM WILL BRING CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AGAIN MAINLY FOR
NORTHERN AREAS SUNDAY, OTHERWISE CONTINUED WELL BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND BREEZY AT TIMES. THE SECOND SYSTEM WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY AND MAY HAVE ENOUGH
LEFT TO BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO THE LA/VENTURA COUNTY MTNS THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING, OTHERWISE PROBABLY LITTLE IMPACT LOCALLY OTHER THAN
TO MAINTAIN THE COOL AND BREEZY CONDITIONS. A SLIGHT WARMING TREND
WILL BEGIN EARLY NEXT WEEK UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.

&&

.AVIATION...01/1805Z...GENERALLY HI CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT TAF
PACKAGE. LOW CLOUDS AND MVFR CONDITIONS AT KSBA AND KOXR ARE
EXPECTED TO CLEAR TO VFR FOR THE MOST PART BY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...ALTHO THERE IS A 20 PERCENT CHANCE THE LOW CLOUDS COULD
PERSIST INTO LATE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED AT THE AIRFIELDS THRU WED MORNING. OFFSHORE FLOW IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP QUICKLY THIS EVENING WITH GUSTY NE WINDS
EXPECTED AT KOXR AND KVNY LATER THIS EVENING THRU WED MORNING. NE
WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED AT KLAX AFT ABOUT 06Z BUT WIND SPEEDS SHOULD
BE 10 KT OR LESS. HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL BE POSSIBLE AT
KLAX AND ALSO KBUR OVERNIGHT INTO WED MORNING DUE TO THE STRONG NE
WINDS IN THE LOWER LEVELS. GUSTY W TO NW WINDS IN THE ANTELOPE
VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON WILL DIMINISH RAPIDLY BY EARLY EVENING AND
TURN NE.

KLAX...GENERALLY HI CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT TAF. THERE WILL BE A
BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR VSBYS TIL AROUND 20Z THEN VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED THE REST OF TODAY THRU WED. NE WINDS GENERALLY 10 KT OR
LESS ARE EXPECTED AFT ABOUT 06Z WITH LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR FROM
08Z-21Z.

KBUR...HI CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT TAF. MVFR VSBYS WILL GIVE WAY TO
VFR CONDITIONS BY 20Z THEN PERSIST THRU WED MORNING. SOME GUSTY N
WINDS WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT WITH LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR POSSIBLE FROM
08Z-18Z.

&&

.FIRE...
STAGE IS SET FOR A STRONG AND WIDESPREAD SANTA ANA WIND EVENT ACROSS
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. CRITICAL RED FLAG CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS ALL OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES (WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE ANTELOPE VALLEY). 12Z NAM AND GFS CONTINUE TO TREND STRONGER
WITH THIS OFFSHORE WIND EVENT IN TERMS OF OFFSHORE PRESSURE
GRADIENTS AND UPPER LEVEL WIND SUPPORT. AS A RESULT...FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING FOR A STRONGER AND MORE WIDESPREAD
EVENT...WITH OFFSHORE WINDS SPREADING DOWN TO THE COAST. AS IS
TYPICALLY THE CASE ACROSS OUR REGION...LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA
COUNTIES WILL BE THE FOCUS OF THIS EVENT. OFFSHORE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO RAMP UP QUICKLY THIS EVENING ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...AND
BECOME WIDESPREAD ACROSS ALL OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES
AFTER MIDNIGHT. OFFSHORE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN STRONG THROUGH
THE MORNING HOURS.

AS THE STRONG OFFSHORE WINDS DEVELOP...HUMIDITIES WILL RAPIDLY LOWER
TO 15 PERCENT OR LESS ACROSS MOST OF THE RED FLAG WARNING AREA
OVERNIGHT...WITH WIDESPREAD SINGLE DIGIT READINGS EXPECTED ON
WEDNESDAY. OFFSHORE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH LATER WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...HOWEVER SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. DUE TO THE STRENGTH OF THIS WIND
EVENT...THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR DOWNED POWER LINES. IF ANY
FIRE IGNITIONS WERE TO OCCUR...THERE WOULD BE A HIGH RISK FOR RAPID
SPREAD ACROSS LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES.
