SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
330 PM PST MON JAN 17 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
THE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL WEAKEN ON TUESDAY WITH A SLIGHT COOL DOWN. A
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN
REGION...BRINGING A SHARP COOL DOWN AND GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS ON
WEDNESDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AREA IS SLATED TO MOVE INTO THE
GREAT BASIN ON THURSDAY AND LAUNCH GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS INTO THE
REGION. THE REST OF THE WEEK...COOLER AIR WILL KEEP THE TEMPERATURES
CIRCLING THE SEASONAL NORMALS.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-THURSDAY)...
WARMEST DAY OF THE PAST SEVEN DAYS TODAY...AS A STRONG 587DM RIDGE
ALOFT MOVED OVER CALIFORNIA FROM THE SOUTHWEST...AND STRONG
NORTH-NORTHEAST GRADIENTS PEAKED. ALL THE COASTAL VALLEYS APPROACHED
90 TODAY...FROM SANTA YNEZ TO SAN GABRIEL...AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT A
FEW RECORDS ARE THREATENED.

STRONG NORTHERLY GRADIENTS WILL PERSIST TONIGHT...BUT SHOULD BE
WEAKER THAN LAST NIGHT. COUPLING THAT WITH WEAK WINDS ALOFT AS THE
RIDGE STARTS TO RETREAT TO THE WEST...DECIDED TO KEEP FORECAST WIND
ADVISORY-FREE. THE MONTECITO HILLS WILL HAVE THE BEST SHOT OF
ANYTHING TONIGHT...AND WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF THEY END UP NEEDING
AN ADVISORY...ESPECIALLY WITH THE SBA-BFL GRAD STILL HOVERING AROUND
-9MB.

TUESDAY WILL BE A TRICKY TRANSITION DAY...AS THE RIDGE WEAKENS AND
MOVES TO THE WEST...AND NORTHEAST GRADIENTS TURN SLIGHTLY ONSHORE IN
THE AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DROP INTO THE
ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION AND BRING A COOLER AIRMASS TO CALIFORNIA BY
THE AFTERNOON. EXPECTING TUE TO START OFF SIMILAR TO TODAY...BUT
WITH THE HIGH TEMPERATURES OCCURRING A COUPLE OF HOURS
EARLIER...WITH MORE NOTICEABLE COOLING BY LATE AFTERNOON.

AN INSIDE TRACKING SYSTEM SWOOPS THROUGH TUE NIGHT INTO WED...HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE NORTH COUPLED WITH DECENT WINDS ALOFT WILL BRING
ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS...SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT.
EXPECTED THE NEED FOR WIND ADVISORIES OVER ALL THE MOUNTAINS AND THE
SBA SOUTH COAST AT THE VERY LEAST. THE AIRMASS SHOULD COOL AS WELL
AS THICKS FALL...AND TEMPERATURES LOOK TO DROP TO MORE NORMAL
CONDITIONS. CURRENT FORECAST MAY END UP BEING A BIT TOO COOL IF THE
SYSTEM TRACKS A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE EAST.

COLD AIR BEHIND THE AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM WILL SETTLE INTO THE GREAT
BASIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND SET THE STAGE FOR A MODERATE SANTA ANA
EVENT INTO THURSDAY. EXPECTING WIDESPREAD WIND ADVISORIES FOR LA/VTU
COUNTY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD STAY FAIRLY SIMILAR TO WED ON THE
COASTAL SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS...WITH A GOOD 5-10 DEGREE DROP OVER
THE MOUNTAINS AND INTERIOR VALLEYS.

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY-MONDAY)...
ANOTHER WEAK SYSTEM NIPPING AT THE HEELS OF THE PREVIOUS ONE WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA BY SATURDAY. THIS WILL QUICKLY KILL THE
OFFSHORE FLOW FROM THURSDAY...AND SHOULD EVEN BRING SOME MUCH
DELAYED ONSHORE GRADS AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES BY THE WEEKEND.
ALTHOUGH THIS SYSTEM WILL TRACK FURTHER WEST THAN THE OTHER...NO
PRECIP IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME...BUT CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. TEMPERATURES SHOULD START TO REBOUND EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...17/2330Z.
CAVU CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY. A CONTINUED MODERATE
NORTHERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT MAY CAUSE OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR AND UDDF AT KSBA...KBUR AND KVNY.

KLAX...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CAVU CONDITIONS THROUGH TUESDAY.
