SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
230 PM PDT SAT OCT 29 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE AND OFFSHORE WINDS WILL CONTINUE FAIR AND WARMER
WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND. EARLY NEXT WEEK...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL COOL TEMPERATURES AND INCREASE THE MARINE LAYER. BY
WEDNESDAY...INCREASING OFFSHORE FLOW WILL CLEAR OUT THE MARINE LAYER
AND CAUSE A BRIEF WARMING TREND. FOR THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT
SATURDAY...A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL ARRIVE TO FURTHER COOL
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-TUESDAY)...

A RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY AND
USHER IN WARMER HIGH TEMPERATURES IN MOST LOCATIONS. THE IMMEDIATE
COAST IS ONE AREA WHERE THE HIGHER TEMPERATURES MAY BE MITIGATED BY
INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW. DO NOT EXPECT ANY COASTAL CLOUDS TONIGHT AS
THE LAX-DAG GRADIENT IS STILL NEGATIVE AND DEW POINT TEMPERATURES
ARE STILL QUITE LOW. WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL RESTRICT THE WINDS
TO LOCAL NORTHEAST BREEZES TO AROUND 25 MPH THROUGH PASSES AND
CANYONS.

THE INCREASING ONSHORE GRADIENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW
SOME NIGHT AND MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. AT THE SAME TIME, THE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN AND
INITIATE A COOLING TREND MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THE NIGHT AND MORNING
LOW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO COVER MOST COASTAL SECTIONS AND EXTEND
LOCALLY INTO THE VALLEYS BY TUESDAY MORNING.

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY)...
MUCH OF THE WEEK WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH
A SERIES OF TROUGHS PUSHING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND DROPPING
INTO THE GREAT BASIN. ONE SUCH TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE A SURGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WEDNESDAY MORNING WHICH WOULD
PRODUCE GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS THROUGH AND BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS.
THERE WILL BE A BRIEF WARMUP ON WEDNESDAY WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS
HOWEVWER THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS WILL COOL DOWN ON WEDNESDAY
THANKS TO COLD AIR ADVECTION FROM THE GREAT BASIN.

SOME FRUSTRATION IN NAILING DOWN THE EXTENDED FORECAST FOR LATE
THIS WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND. THE MODELS HAVE LACKED IN RUN TO RUN
CONSISTENCY IN TERMS OF HOW FAR SOUTH AND WEST THE TROUGHS WILL DIG
BEFORE MOVING EAST. THE 12Z MODELS HAVE REVERSED COURSE JUST AS
PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE EXTENDED FORECAST. THE
LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW A DEEP AND COLD INSIDE SLIDER IS NOW EXPECTED
AROUND FRIDAY WITH A MINIMAL SHOT OF PRECIPITATION. WILL STAY THE
COURSE FOR NOW AND KEEP SILENT POPS OF LESS THAN 20 PERCENT BUT
LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO ONCE AGAIN PUT PRECIPITATION BACK INTO THE
FORECAST ALONG WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY WINDS. NEEDLESS TO
SAY WE ARE DEALING WITH A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST IN SPITE OF
CURRENT MODEL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE 12Z ECMWF AND GFS.

&&

.FIRE...
LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW CONTINUES TO REINFORCE VERY WARM AND DRY AIR
ACROSS INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. WIDESPREAD SINGLE
DIGIT HUMIDITIES WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
HEIGHTENED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR ALL INLAND AREAS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. OF GREATEST CONCERN WILL BE THE MOUNTAINS...WHERE OFFSHORE
WINDS GUSTING UP TO 30 MPH COMBINED WITH THE SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES
WILL BRING CRITICAL RED FLAG CONDITIONS TODAY. ALREADY A FEW
REPORTING SITES IN THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MOUNTAINS THAT HAVE SEEN
SEVERAL HOURS OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS THIS MORNING...WITH WINDS
GUSTING OVER 25 MPH AND SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES. VERY POOR HUMIDITY
RECOVERIES EXPECTED TONIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS...WITH
MANY AREAS REMAINING BELOW 20 PERCENT. WHILE THERE IS A HIGH
PROBABILITY OF SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES CONTINUING ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS ON SUNDAY...THERE IS STILL SOME QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT
THE OFFSHORE WINDS WILL BE SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO REACH CRITICAL RED
FLAG THRESHOLDS ON SUNDAY FOR THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

.AVIATION...29/1800Z.

BROAD MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA WILL
PERSIST. MODERATE UPPER LEVEL WEST SOUTHWEST AND LIGHT MID LEVEL
NORTHEAST WINDS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE AREA. WEAK ONSHORE PRESSURE
GRADIENT THROUGH 30/02Z AND AFTER 30/21Z...OTHERWISE WEAK OFFSHORE
GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE.

KLAX...VERY LIKELY CURRENT SKY/VSBY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST.

KBUR...VIRTUALLY CERTAIN CURRENT SKY/VSBY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST.

VIRTUALLY CERTAIN - 95-100%
VERY LIKELY       - 80-95%
LIKELY            - 60-80%
CHANCE            - 30-60%
VERY UNLIKELY     - 20% OR LESS
