SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
400 AM PST TUE NOV 27 2012

...UPDATED MARINE AND AVIATION DISCUSSIONS...

.SYNOPSIS...

COOL AND UNSETTLED WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
SEVERAL DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA...BRINGING THE THREAT
OF PRECIPITATION. AT THIS TIME...THE BEST CHANCES FOR SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY THEN AGAIN ON SUNDAY...WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN BETWEEN.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-THU)...OVERALL...00Z MODELS IN GOOD SYNOPTIC
AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT UPPER LEVELS...MASSIVE LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP/SPIN OFF THE COAST OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA/PACIFIC
NORTHWEST THRU THE PERIOD. NEAR THE SURFACE...GENERAL ONSHORE FLOW
WILL PREVAIL...WITH A COLD FRONT SWEEPING ACROSS THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY.

FORECAST-WISE...IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM POSES NO SIGNIFICANT ISSUES.
LATEST SATELLITE SHOWS VARYING AMOUNTS OF HIGH CLOUDS DRIFTING
OVERHEAD WITH MARINE LAYER STRATUS ENTRENCHED ALONG THE CENTRAL
COAST AND SURGING EASTWARD ACROSS THE BIGHT. EXPECT THE STRATUS
ACROSS THE BIGHT TO CONTINUE PUSHING ONSHORE...WITH STRATUS
PENETRATING INTO THE COASTAL VALLEYS THIS MORNING. BY THIS AFTERNOON
THE STRATUS SHOULD DISSIPATE NICELY...RETREATING TO NEAR THE
IMMEDIATE COAST. WITH SOME LOWER HEIGHTS/THICKNESSES AND EXPECTED
STRATUS COVERAGE...TODAY SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN MONDAY.

FOR LATE TONIGHT/WEDNESDAY...THE FORECAST BECOMES MUCH MORE
INTERESTING AS COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA. AT THIS TIME...
THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH TIMING...AS THE FRONT MOVES
ACROSS SLO/SBA COUNTIES WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN ACROSS VTU/LAX
COUNTIES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. GOOD SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS
CONTINUE TO BE INDICATED AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WHICH WILL HELP WITH
OROGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENTS. BASED ON 00Z GUIDANCE...INHERITED QPF
FORECAST LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. SLO/SBA COUNTIES SHOULD GENERALLY SEE
BETWEEN 0.75 AND 1.25 INCHES OF RAINFALL WITH LOCALLY AMOUNTS UP
TO AROUND 2.00 INCHES  ACROSS SOUTH-FACING SLOPES AND THE NORTHWEST
TIP OF SLO COUNTY. FOR VTU/LAX COUNTIES...RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD
RANGE BETWEEN 0.25 AND 0.50 INCHES WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS AROUND 1.00
INCH ON SOUTH-FACING SLOPES. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN VERY HIGH
THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE EVENT...GENERALLY ABOVE 7500 FEET.
SO...ONLY THE HIGHEST PEAKS WILL RECEIVE ANY NOTICEABLY SNOWFALL.

ON THURSDAY...THE FRONT WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA...BUT A MOIST
SOUTHWEST TO WEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA. SO...WILL
EXPECT PARTLY/MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ALONG WITH THE CONTINUED THREAT
OF SHOWERS.

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...FOR THE EXTENDED..MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN
GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT UPPER LEVELS...
LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FRIDAY/SATURDAY
THEN WILL OPEN INTO A TROUGH AND MOVE INLAND ACROSS THE WEST COAST
SUNDAY/MONDAY. NEAR THE SURFACE...GENERAL ONSHORE FLOW WILL
CONTINUE.

FORECAST-WISE...THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNSETTLED THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. ON FRIDAY/SATURDAY...THE MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL
CONTINUE...RESULTING IN A CONTINUED SLIGHT THREAT OF SOME
PRECIPITATION. BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY...ANOTHER POTENT
FRONTAL SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA...BRINGING ANOTHER
ROUND OF PRECIPITATION. AT THIS TIME...THIS SUNDAY FRONT LOOKS TO BE
PRETTY SIMILAR TO WHAT THE AREA WILL EXPERIENCE ON WEDNESDAY IN
TERMS OF PRECIP AMOUNTS...SNOW LEVELS AND WINDS. SO...IT COULD BE
ANOTHER DECENT SOAKING FOR THE AREA.

ON MONDAY...THE FRONT WILL EXIT THE AREA...AND A WEAK UPPER RIDGE
WILL BUILD OVERHEAD. THERE WILL STILL LIKELY BE SOME SCATTERED
SHOWERS EARLY MONDAY MORNING...BUT THE BALANCE OF THE DAY SHOULD BE
DRY.

&&

.AVIATION...27/1145Z...

LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN 12Z TAF PACKAGE. MVFR CIGS COULD
BECOME VFR +/- 2 HOURS FROM TAF TIMES. 30 PERCENT CHANCE FOR IFR
CIGS AFTER 03Z FOR KSMX/KSBP...OTHERWISE EXPECT MVFR CONDS ONCE
AGAIN THIS EVENING WITH VFR CIGS THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS ACROSS
COAST AND COASTAL VALLEY TAF SITE.

KLAX...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN 12Z TAF. THERE IS A 30% CHANCE THAT
MVFR CIGS WILL NOT DEVELOP AFTER 13Z.

KBUR...LOW CONFIDENCE IN 12Z TAF. THERE IS A 50% CHANCE THAT MVFR
CIGS WILL NOT DEVELOP AFTER13-14Z.

&&

.MARINE...HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT GALE WATCH WILL BE CONVERTED TO A
GALE WARNING FOR ZONES 670 AND 645 VALID EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR
SOUTH WINDS AHEAD AND ON THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SLIGHTLY LESS
CONFIDENT FOR 673 FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD. FEEL THAT SMALL CRAFT
