KITTELL

SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
340 AM PST SAT JAN 22 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AND A RETURN TO ONSHORE FLOW WILL BRING
SOME COOLING TO THE REGION TODAY. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO
THE GREAT BASIN WILL BRING OFFSHORE FLOW TO THE REGION SUNDAY...WITH
STRONG WINDS IN SOME AREAS. GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT TIMES
THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK...BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS...WITH WELL
ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MON)...CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS
MORNING. GRADS WERE STILL OFFSHORE...SO AT THIS POINT...DO NOT
EXPECT ANY STRATUS ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING. THE POSSIBLE
EXCEPTION IS ALONG THE IMDT CENTRAL COAST...WHERE SOME PATCHY LOW
CLDS/FOG MAY DEVELOP. PROFILER DATA SHOWS SOME COOLING DURING THE
PAST 24 HOURS BELOW 2000 FEET. THE WRF SHOWS SOME COOLING AT 950 MB
IN CSTL AND VLY AREAS...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SANTA CLARITA
VALLEY...WHERE THERE WILL BE LITTLE CHANGE. WITH THIS IN MIND...AND
WITH GRADS FCST TO FLIP ONSHORE...WILL GO FOR A FEW DEGREES OF
COOLING IN MOST AREAS W OF THE MTNS...WITH THE BEST COOLING IN
COASTAL AREAS S OF PT CONCEPTION.

THE WRF HINTS AT SOME STRATUS MOVING INTO CSTL AREAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR THIS EVENING...THEN LINGERING THRU THE NIGHT. NOT TOO
CONFIDENT ABOUT THIS...SO AT THIS TIME HAVE KEPT SKIES CLEAR.
HOWEVER...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SOME STRATUS DEVELOPS FOR A
WHILE LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. HOWEVER...STRONG SFC HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLING INTO THE GREAT BASIN TONIGHT WILL CAUSE GRADIENTS TO TURN
OFFSHORE QUICKLY OVERNIGHT...WITH GRADS BECOMING MODERATELY TO
STRONGLY OFFSHORE BY MORNING. EXPECT GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS TO
DEVELOP IN THE MTNS OF L.A. AND VTU COUNTIES BY OR SHORTLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT. WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION...DECENT 850 FLOW AND GOOD
SUBSIDENCE OVERSPREADING THE MTNS...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND
GUSTS TO EXCEED 60 MPH IN THE MTNS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE L.A.
AND VTU COUNTY MTNS FOR LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

BY MORNING...GUSTY WINDS WILL LIKELY SPREAD INTO PORTIONS OF THE
VLYS OF L.A. AND VTU COUNTIES...AND POSSIBLY THE VTU COUNTY
COASTAL PLAIN...AND CSTL SXNS OF L.A. COUNTY BELOW PASSES AND
CANYONS FROM MALIBU TO HOLLYWOOD. WINDS WILL LIKELY REACH ADVISORY
LEVELS IN THESE AREAS...BUT PROBABLY WILL NOT BECOME WDSPRD UNTIL
AFTER SUNRISE SUNDAY MORNING. SINCE ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS WILL
PRIMARILY OCCUR IN THE 3RD FCST PERIOD...WHERE CONFIDENCE IS
LOWER...HAVE HELD OFF ON ISSUING WIND ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME.
COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL BRING COOLING TO THE MTNS...DESERTS AND
INTERIOR VLYS OF SUNDAY...WHILE TEMPS WILL LIKELY RISE A FEW DEGREES
IN THE LOWER VLYS AND ACROSS THE CSTL PLAIN.

A STRONG UPPER HIGH WILL LINGER WELL OFF THE COAST OF CENTRAL CA SUN
NIGHT AND MON...WITH A RIDGE EXTENDING ACROSS THE FCST AREA.
OFFSHORE GRADS WILL WEAKEN...BUT SHOULD STILL BE SUFFICIENT TO
PRODUCE SOME GUSTY WINDS IN THE MTNS AND VLYS OF L.A. AND VTU
COUNTIES. DRY CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME RATHER CHILLY OVERNIGHT
LOWS MON MORNING IN WIND SHELTERED LOCATIONS. DAYTIME MAX TEMPS WILL
LIKELY BE UP A FEW DEGREES IN MOST AREAS MON.

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...LOW LVL OFFSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THU...WITH GUSTY NE WINDS AT TIMES ACROSS PORTIONS OF L.A. AND VTU
COUNTIES. MAX TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL W OF THE
MTNS...AND EVEN SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL IN THE MTNS AND DESERTS
THROUGH THU. NIGHTS WILL BE RATHER CHILLY...ESPECIALLY IN WIND
SHELTERED LOCATIONS. A WEAK UPPER LOW WELL TO THE SW OF THE FCST
AREA WILL APCH THE REGION THU NIGHT AND FRI. WHILE IT IS NOT
EXPECTED TO BRING ANY CHANCE OF RAIN TO THE REGION...IT SHOULD
INDUCE SOME COOLING TO MOST AREAS FRI.

&&

.AVIATION...22/1130Z.
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. ONLY A 20
PERCENT CHANCE OF PATCHY LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WITH IFR TO LIFR
CONDITIONS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
