SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
215 PM PDT MON MAR 14 2011

.SYNOPSIS...

SEVERAL DISTURBANCES TO OUR NORTH WILL PRODUCE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
THROUGH THURSDAY. BREEZY NORTH WINDS WILL AFFECT THE SANTA BARBARA
SOUTH COAST...I5 CORRIDOR...AND ANTELOPE VALLEY THROUGH TONIGHT AT
LEAST TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD EACH
DAY. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME RAIN BY THE WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-THU)...A SERIES OF WEAK STORM SYSTEMS WILL BRING
A FAIR AMOUNT OF MID AND HIGH CLOUDS TO THE AREA THIS WEEK AS WELL
AS AN INCREASING CHANCE OF MARINE LYR CLOUDS TO LA AND POSSIBLY
VENTURA COUNTIES. THE TAIL END OF ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS MAY HOLD
TOGETHER WELL ENOUGH TO BRING A FEW SPRINKLES OR LIGHT SHOWERS TO
AREAS NORTH OF PT CONCEPTION ON WEDNESDAY BUT AT THIS POINT IT
APPEARS UNLIKELY TO GENERATE MEASURABLE AMOUNTS. SOME LIGHT SHOWERS
ARE ALSO POSSIBLE OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS BORDERING THE KERN
COUNTY LINE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS UPSLOPE NORTHERLY FLOW GENERATES SOME
LIFTING THERE.

GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOST OF THIS WEEK,
RESULTING IN ADVISORY LEVEL WIND GUSTS AT TIMES THROUGH THE SANTA
YNEZ RANGE AND POSSIBLY THE I5 CORRIDOR. FOR TONIGHT IT APPEARS THAT
THE BEST CHANCE FOR ADVISORY WINDS IS ACROSS SRN SBA COUNTY SO A
WIND ADVISORY WILL BE POSTED FOR THAT AREA. WINDS IN THE I5 CORRIDOR
AND THE AV WILL APPROACH ADVISORY LEVELS BUT I'M EXPECTING THEM TO
REMAIN BELOW EXCEPT FOR POSSIBLY THE USUAL FAVORED AND ISOLATED
LOCATIONS.

EXPECTING ANOTHER RELATIVELY WARM DAY ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY WITH
LA/VENTURA VALLEY HIGHS WELL INTO THE 70S AND POSSIBLY EVEN A
SPRINKLING OF LOWER 80S. COOLER ELSEWHERE BUT STILL ABOUT 5 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL ON AVERAGE. INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW WEDNESDAY AND THU
SHOULD CUT DOWN HIGHS A GOOD 5-10 DEGREES IN MOST AREAS, DROPPING
THEM BACK TO NORMAL OR EVEN SLIGHTLY BELOW.

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...DETAILS REMAIN SOMEWHAT FUZZY OVER THE
WEEKEND AS RUN TO RUN MODEL CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN RATHER LOW, BUT
MODELS SEEM TO FAVOR A RETURN TO WET WEATHER ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA
AT SOME POINT WITH AT LEAST TWO DECENT CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION.
THE FIRST BEING FRI NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AND THE SECOND BEING SUNDAY.
GIVEN THE TIMING DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS AND FROM RUN TO RUN IT
SEEMS PRUDENT TO LEAVE IN RAIN CHANCES FOR SAT NIGHT AS WELL AS
EXTENDING THEM INTO MONDAY. NONE OF THE WEEKEND STORMS APPEAR TOO
OMINOUS WITH THE MODELS SUGGESTING AMOUNTS GENERALLY LESS THAN A
HALF INCH WITH EACH STORM, BUT AGAIN MODEL CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN
LOW HERE AS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION...14/1800Z.
LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE 18Z TAFS IN REGARDS TO THE RETURN OF LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG. FOR NOW...DECIDED TO KEEP LOW CLOUDS AND FOG OUT OF
THE FORECAST.

KLAX...LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE 18Z TAF. THERE IS A 60 PERCENT CHANCE
OF VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THERE IS A 40 PERCENT
CHANCE OF MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS SOMETIME OVERNIGHT.

KBUR...GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE 18Z TAF. THERE IS A 20 PERCENT CHANCE
OF MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS SOMETIME OVERNIGHT.
