SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
940 PM PST WED JAN 4 2012

NEW AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SYNOPSIS...

OFFSHORE FLOW WILL PRODUCE ANOTHER WARM DAY THURSDAY...BEFORE A
SIGNIFICANT COOL DOWN OCCURS ON FRIDAY AS ONSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS
WILL DEVELOP THROUGH AND BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS BETWEEN FRIDAY
AND SUNDAY AS THE TROUGH MOVES TO THE EAST OF THE AREA. OFFSHORE
FLOW DEVELOPING EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL ALLOW FOR A WARMING TREND.

&&

.UPDATE...

THE LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES A FAIRLY THICK SLUG OF
HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE MOVING OVER THE AREA TONIGHT. WITH HIGH LEVEL
MOISTURE LIKELY REMAINING IN PLACE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT FROM THE
LATEST GFS 300-400 MB RELATIVE HUMIDITY DATA...THE PACKAGE WAS
AMENDED TO INCREASE CLOUD COVER TO PARTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT AND INTO
THURSDAY MORNING. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES WERE ALSO WARMED
SLIGHTLY AS RADIATIONAL COOLING EFFECTS WILL BE MUCH MORE LIMITED
WITH THE HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE AREA. SOME PATCHY FOG WAS ADDED TO
SALINAS RIVER VALLEY AS SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY COULD CLEAR OUT A
LITTLE EARLIER.

WITH THE HIGH CLOUDINESS IN PLACE OVER THE AREA...SOME AREAS WILL
REMAIN WARM OVERNIGHT...AND COOL LITTLE FROM THE WARMING THAT TOOK
PLACE TODAY. WITH SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS INITIALIZED A LITTLE
TOO STRONGLY ONSHORE THIS EVENING...THE PACKAGE WAS WARMED
SLIGHTLY FOR THURSDAY. HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS CLEARING OUT ON
THURSDAY MORNING SHOULD GIVE AWAY TO SUNNY SKIES. THE OFFSHORE
GRADIENTS SHOULD COMBINE WITH SOLAR INSOLATION TO PRODUCE
TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN WHAT THE PACKAGE INDICATED.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM...A BROAD WNW FLOW ALOFT CAN BE EXPECTED THU NIGHT AND
FRI ALONG WITH GRADUALLY LOWERING 500 MB HEIGHTS AS AN UPPER TROF
MOVES INTO NRN CA. DRY WEATHER WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND MAINLY
NIGHT AND MORNING OFFSHORE FLOW CAN BE EXPECTED THRU FRI...ALTHO
SOME LOW CLOUDS MAY MOVE BACK INTO THE CENTRAL COAST AND SALINAS
RIVER VALLEY LATER THU NIGHT INTO FRI MORNING. THERE WILL CONTINUE
TO BE LITTLE SUPPORT FOR WIDESPREAD STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW...WITH
ONLY WEAK TO LOCALLY MODERATE NE WINDS EXPECTED FOR THE FAVORED
PASSES AND CANYONS. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL SLIGHTLY FOR THU
BUT REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR MANY AREAS...THEN FALL
SIGNIFICANTLY FOR FRI ALTHO HIGHS WILL STILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL FOR MOST AREAS.

THE UPPER TROF WILL MOVE SE INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT BASIN FRI NIGHT
INTO SAT...WITH THE TROF AXIS EXTENDING INTO EXTREME EAST CENTRAL
AND SE CA. THIS SYSTEM WILL HELP TO INCREASE NORTHERLY GRADIENTS
THRU SAT...WITH GUSTY N WINDS POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF SLO/SBA
COUNTIES INTO THE MTNS OF VTU/L.A. COUNTIES. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS TO DEVELOP ON SAT FOR THE L.A./VTU COUNTY
MTNS INCLUDING ALONG THE INTERSTATE 5 CORRIDOR. TEMPS WILL COOL A
BIT MORE FOR SAT DUE TO THE NORTHERLY FLOW WITH HIGHS NEAR NORMAL
EXPECTED FOR THE MOST PART.

LONG TERM...SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES SHOW UP IN THE MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS. THE GFS TRACKS THE UPPER TROF WELL E OF THE REGION FOR
SUN...WITH UPPER RIDGING BUILDING INTO CA BY LATE SUN. THE UPPER
RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO LINGER OVER CENTRAL AND SRN CA SUN NIGHT INTO
TUE MORNING. AN UPPER TROF SHOULD MOVE INTO CENTRAL CA BY LATE TUE
THEN WEAKEN THRU WED. AS FOR THE ECMWF...THE INSIDE SLIDER UPPER
TROF IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP INTO AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER NRN AZ BY
SAT EVENING THEN TRACK SE THRU AZ SUN TO MON MORNING...WHILE UPPER
RIDGING BUILDS INTO CENTRAL AND NRN CA. WEAK UPPER RIDGING IS
INDICATED OVER SRN CA INTO TUE FOLLOWED BY LOWERING 500 MB HEIGHTS
AND A ZONAL FLOW INTO CA THRU WED. IF THE INSIDE SLIDER IS CLOSER
TO THE AREA AS INDICATED IN THE ECMWF...GUSTY N TO NE WINDS TO
ADVISORY LEVELS OR EVEN LOCALLY WARNING LEVELS WOULD NOT BE OUT OF
THE QUESTION FOR PORTIONS OF VTU/L.A. COUNTIES LATER SAT NIGHT AND
SUN MORNING. FOR NOW AM LEANING TOWARD GFS WITH POSSIBLE ADVISORY
LEVEL NE WINDS OVER THIS AREA DURING THE PERIOD. SOMEWHAT WEAKER
OFFSHORE WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED SUN NIGHT INTO MON AS WELL. AT ANY
RATE... DESPITE THE MODEL DIFFERENCES...THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE
IN DRY WEATHER CONTINUING THRU WED. FAIR SKIES FOR THE MOST PART
CAN BE EXPECTED WITH SOME HI CLOUDS MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM TIME
TO TIME. TEMPS SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR MANY AREAS
DURING THE PERIOD...WITH ONLY MINOR DAY TO DAY FLUCTUATIONS.
