SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
510 AM PDT WED MAR 16 2011

UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SYNOPSIS...

IT WILL BE COOLER TODAY WITH MORE CLOUDS AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN
ACROSS THE CENTRAL COAST AND THE NORTH SLOPES. THE COOLING TREND
WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY. FRIDAY WILL BE CLOUDIER AND COOLER WITH A
CHANCE OF RAIN DEVELOPING DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE WEEKEND WILL BE
COOL AND CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN ON SATURDAY AND RAIN LIKELY ON
SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-FRI)...
VERY WEAK DRAPED ACROSS THE BAY AREA WITH RAIN FALLING AS FAR SOUTH
AS KMRY. MARINE LAYER IS AT 500 FEET AND AN ONSHORE PUSH HAS BROUGHT
EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY DENSE FOG TO THE CENTRAL COAST AND
THE SANTA YNEZ VLY. A SAUSAGE LIKE BAND OF LOW CLOUDS HAD FORMED
JUST OFF OF THE ORANGE COUNTY COAST AND IT IS LIKELY THAT THERE WILL
BE SOME LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ACROSS THE LA COAST LATER THIS MORNING.
OTHERWISE TODAY WILL FEATURE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AS THE
FRONT WASHES OUT. SLO AND SBA COUNTY WILL SEE A SLIGHT CHC OF LIGHT
RAIN. THE BEST CHC OF RAIN WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTH SLOPES
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT AS THE NORTH WINDS BEHIND THE
FRONT LIFT SOME MOISTURE UP THE MOUNTAIN SIDES. MAX TEMPS TODAY WILL
BE COOLER THAT YDY DUE TO BETTER ONSHORE FLOW MORE CLOUDS AND
LOWERING HGTS.

MDLS INDICATE A BETTER MARINE LAYER TONIGHT EXTENDING UP TO VENTURA.
WHILE THIS IS THE BEST BET...THERE WILL BE QUITE A BIT OF NORTH
WINDS FUNNELING IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND THESE WINDS COULD HINDER THE
LOW CLOUDS NORTHWARD PROGRESS. SPEAKING OF THE NORTH WINDS IT LOOKS
LIKE BOTH THE I-5 CORRIDOR AND SBA SOUTH COAST WILL BE RIGHT ON THE
CUSP OF ANOTHER WIND ADVISORY TONIGHT.

THURSDAY WILL BE A FAIRLY UNREMARKABLE DAY. THE FLOW WILL BE WSW AND
THERE WILL BE SOME EMBEDDED MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE IN IT WHICH
SHOULD PROVIDE FOR A PRETTY SUNSET. MAX TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO FALL
AS THKNS DROPS.

FRIDAY STARTS OFF A STORMY WEATHER PATTERN AS A LARGE COLD UPPER LOW
SPINS DOWN THE COAST. ALL MDLS NOW AGREE THAT THE RAIN WILL BE
SLOWER TO ARRIVE AND KEPT EVERYWHERE DRY IN THE MORNING AND ONLY A
SLIGHT CHC OF RAIN TO THE CENTRAL COAST IN THE AFTERNOON. DUE TO THE
DELAY OF RAIN AND CLOUDS BUMPED UP MAX TEMPS A FEW DEGREES
EVERYWHERE. THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND WILL
BRING A CHC OF RAIN TO THE ENTIRE REGION. THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE
TOO IMPRESSIVE A SYSTEM AND RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BRING ABOUT HALF INCH OF RAIN TO THE CENTRAL COAST AND
A QUARTER INCH OR LESS TO AREAS SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...
SATURDAY LOOKS TO BE AN IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS DAY. THERE WILL STILL BE
QUITE A BIT OF CLOUDINESS AROUND AND THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS DUE TO THE SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AND GENERAL CYCLONIC
TURNING OF THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE.

SUNDAY IS THE INTERESTING DAY OF THE BUNCH AS ANOTHER COLDER UPPER
LOW PLUNGES DOWN THE COAST PREFRONTAL RAIN SHOULD OVERSPREAD THE
AREA IN THE MORNING AND THEN THE COLD FRONT AND AN ASSOCIATED BURST
OF HEAVIER RAIN WILL DRIVE THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON OR
EVENING DEPENDING ON WHAT MDL YOU WANT TO BELIEVE. RAIN WILL TURN TO
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT AND MONDAY WILL BE A MOSTLY CLOUDY DAY WITH A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS. THIS WILL BE A COLD SYSTEM (AT LEAST FOR MID
MARCH) AND SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL TO AROUND 5000 FEET. A GOOD FIRST
GUESS FOR RAINFALL AMOUNTS WOULD BE .75-1.25 INCHES OF RAIN ON THE
COASTS AND UP TO 2.5 INCHES IN THE MTNS. OF COURSE THESE NUMBERS
COULD VERY WELL CHANGE AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES.

ANOTHER LITTLE IMPULSE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY AND WILL BRING
A SLIGHT CHC OF RAIN TO THE AREA.

MAX TEMPS THROUGH OUT THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE BELOW NORMAL WITH
SATURDAY BEING THE COOLEST OF THE BUNCH.

&&

.AVIATION...16/1205Z.
WDSPRD LIFR TO IFR CONDS N OF PT CONCEPTION THIS MORNING...SHOULD
RISE INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY AS A WKNG FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE
REGION. THERE COULD BE A FEW SHOWERS N OF PT CONCEPTION. S OF PT
CONCEPTION...PATCHY STRATUS WAS DEVELOPED ACROSS SWRN L.A. COUNTY
AND LOW MVFR OR POSSIBLE HIGH IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY NEAR THE
COAST THROUGH MID OR LATE MORNING.

KLAX...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. THERE IS A 20 TO 30 PERCENT
CHANCE THAT CIGS MVFR CIGS WILL NOT AFFECT THE AIRPORT THIS
MORNING.

KBUR...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TAF.
