SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
430 AM PDT THU MAY 24 2012

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...

GUSTY NORTH AND NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. THEN TEMPERATURES WILL COOL TO
BELOW NORMAL ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES IN FROM
THE NORTH. POCKETS OF DRIZZLE OR LIGHT RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE ON
FRIDAY FOR AREAS WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. TEMPERATURES THEN RISE ABOVE
NORMAL THROUGH MIDWEEK AS LOW PRESSURES MOVES EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-SAT)...A RELATIVELY COLD CUTOFF UPPER LOW OVER
ALONG THE COAST OF THE PACIFIC NW WILL BEGIN TO ROTATE SOUTH INTO
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BY EARLY FRIDAY...THEN QUICKLY ROTATE THROUGH
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING. IS THIS REALLY LATE MAY?

IN THE SHORT TERM...VERY STRONG WINDS CONTINUED TO AFFECT THE
MOUNTAINS OF LOS ANGELES...VENTURA AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES
OVERNIGHT. THE ANTELOPE VALLEY AND SANTA CLARITA VALLEY ALSO
EXPERIENCED STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS OVERNIGHT. HIGHEST WIND GUSTS
WERE IN THE MID 70S ACROSS THE LA COUNTY MOUNTAINS. THE RED FLAG
WARNING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING ACROSS THE SBA COUNTY
MTNS AND ADJACENT SOUTH COAST. SANDBERG RECORDED A GUST OF 77 MPH
WED EVENING WHICH IS UNUSUALLY HIGH FOR THIS SITE. BUT THEN
AGAIN...THERE IS NOTHING USUAL ABOUT THIS WEATHER PATTERN THIS TIME
OF YEAR.

ONE MAJOR FLY IN THE OINTMENT THIS MORNING WAS THE BATTLE BETWEEN
THE CATALINA EDDY THAT HAS STRENGTHENED WITH THE MARINE LAYER
REACHING AROUND 2500 FT. WITH STRONG NORTH WINDS BLOWING ACROSS THE
SANTA CLARITA VALLEY...IT SEEMED LIKE A SLAM DUNK FOR ADVISORY LEVEL
WINDS TO REACH THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...WITH
VERY STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS OVER THE PAST FEW
DAYS...AN EDDY HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE SO CAL BIGHT WHICH HELPED
THE MARINE LAYER TO DEEPEN QUICKLY. THE LATEST FOG PRODUCT SATELLITE
IMAGERY INDICATED LOW CLOUDS FILLING IN NICELY ACROSS THE L.A.
COASTAL SECTIONS...SAN GABRIEL VALLEY...AND NOW THE SOUTHEASTERN
PORTION OF THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY. SINCE THE NORTH WINDS HAVE NOT
SURFACED ACROSS THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY BY NOW...THE DEEP MARINE
LAYER HAS TRUMPED OUT THE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT. THEREFORE THE WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY WILL BE CANCELLED WITH THE
MORNING PACKAGE.  THE STRONG WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DIE DOWN THIS
MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. GUSTY WEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE ANTELOPE VALLEY THROUGH THIS EVENING...BUT NOT EXPECTING
GUSTS TO BE AS STRONG. ANOTHER SUNDOWNER WIND EVENT WILL DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ACROSS THE
SBA COUNTY MTNS AND SOUTH COAST AS WELL. AND LASTLY...EXPECT NW
WINDY CONDITIONS ALONG THE CENTRAL COAST THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. THERE SHOULD BE EVEN STRONGER NW WINDS AFFECTING THE
CENTRAL COAST ON FRI AFTERNOON.

A STRONG ONSHORE PUSH IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TODAY WITH THE NAM-WRF
INDICATING THE LAX-DAG GRADIENT TO BE AROUND 9 MB BY THIS AFTERNOON.
THIS SHARP ONSHORE PUSH WILL BEGIN TO BRING BACK LOW CLOUDS QUICKER
TO THE COAST FOR AREAS S OF POINT CONCEPTION THIS EVENING...AND THE
MARINE LAYER IS EXPECTED TO GROW TO AROUND 5000 FT BY FRIDAY
MORNING. AT THIS TIME...EXPECTING WIDESPREAD DRIZZLE LATE
TONIGHT...THEN TURNING INTO STRATIFORM LIGHT RAIN WITH THIS DEEP
CLOUD LAYER OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. ADDED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
FOR ALL AREAS OF LA/VTU COUNTIES WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS...AND CHANCE
POPS FOR THE FOOTHILLS OF THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY INCLUDING LA CANADA
AND LA CRESCENTA FOR FRIDAY MORNING. RAIN AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT IN
NATURE. NOT EXPECTING MUCH CLEARING ON FRIDAY AS WELL AS THE UPPER
LOW WILL BE JUST NORTH OF THE AREA.

LOOKED HARD AT POTENTIAL CONVECTION FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING AS
500 MB TEMPS WILL LOWER TO -21 DEGREES CELSIUS N OF THE FORECAST
AREA DURING THE PRIME AFTERNOON HEATING. THERE IS NO MOISTURE TO TAP
INTO...AND BEST CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS REMAIN WELL NORTH AND EAST OF
THE REGION. LOOKED AT SOME BUFFER MODEL SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS...AND DID NOT SEE ANY REASON TO ADD SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AT
THIS TIME. THAT BEING SAID...IF NEWER MODEL RUNS PUSH THE UPPER LOW
FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST...THERE COULD BE A POSSIBLE THREAT OF
ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS TO THE INTERIOR AREAS.

AS FAR AS TEMPS GO TODAY..HIGH TEMPS SHOULD BE NOTICEABLY
COOLER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS INTERIOR AREAS WITH HIGHS ONLY REACHING
THE LOWER 80S IN SOME VALLEY LOCATIONS. MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS WILL
OCCUR ON FRIDAY AS THE UPPER LOW APPROACHES THE REGION. HIGH TEMPS
ARE EXPECTED ONLY TO REACH THE MID TO UPPER 60S. SKIES SHOULD REMAIN
MOSTLY CLOUDY THROUGH THE DAY. BY SATURDAY TEMPS WILL WARM
UP...ESPECIALLY INLAND AS HEIGHTS AND THICKNESS LVLS RISE AS THE
UPPER LOW PUSHES EAST INTO THE GREAT BASIN. EXPECT LINGERING LOW
CLOUDS ACROSS COAST AND VALLEYS WHICH IS MORE TYPICAL FOR LATE MAY.

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...BOTH GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN PRETTY GOOD
AGREEMENT THROUGH TUESDAY WITH GRADUAL WARMING AS A MORE ZONAL FLOW
WILL PERSIST THROUGH TUESDAY. THEN MODELS DIFFER WITH THE GFS
ADVERTISING A BUILDING RIDGE...WHILE THE EUROPEAN DEVELOPS A VERY
FLAT RIDGE. THAT BEING SAID. EXPECT GRADUAL WARMING EACH DAY THROUGH
THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH BEST WARMING INLAND AND THE RETURN OF NIGHT
THROUGH MORNING LOW CLOUDS ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS.

BTW...SOME OF YOU PROBABLY NOTICED A STANDING LENTICULAR CLOUD
(LOOKS LIKE A FLYING SAUCER) PARKED OVER THE MOJAVE DESERT THROUGH
THE ENTIRE DAY YESTERDAY. THIS WAS A GOOD DETECTOR THAT STRONG
NORTHWEST WINDS ALOFT WERE BLOWING AS IT FORMED ON THE LEEWARD SIDE
OF THE TEHACHAPEE MOUNTAINS. IT ACTUALLY FORMED TUESDAY NIGHT AND
FINALLY DISSOLVED AROUND 1 AM THIS MORNING. IT LASTED AN UNUSUALLY
LONG TIME. ITS NO COINCIDENCE THAT STRONG WINDS WERE OCCURRING
ACROSS THE REGION WHILE THIS CLOUD APPEARED.

&&

.AVIATION...24/11130Z...

CLASSIC BATTLE THIS MORNING BETWEEN NORTHERLY FLOW AND COASTAL EDDY.
THE EDDY HAS SPUN UP SOME STRATUS INTO THE LAX COASTS/VALLEYS AND
INTO VTU COASTAL AREA. HOWEVER...INVERSION IS WEAK AND THE STRATUS
IS NOT WELL ESTABLISHED. SO...WILL EXPECT A GOOD BURNOFF BY LATE
MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON. FOR TONIGHT...NORTHERLY FLOW WILL BE
WEAKER BUT EDDY WILL PERSIST. WITH APPROACHING UPPER LOW FROM THE
NORTH...STRATUS SHOULD BE MUCH BETTER ESTABLISHED TONIGHT AND WILL
IMPACT ALL COASTAL/VALLEY TAF SITES WITH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS.

AS FOR WINDS...SHOULD BE ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST
WINDS ACROSS THE ANTELOPE VALLEY AS WELL AS LOCAL PASSES. WILL
INCLUDE A LLWS GROUP FOR KSBA THIS EVENING.

KLAX...LOW CONFIDENCE IN 12Z TAF. THERE IS A 40% CHANCE THAT MVFR
CIGS MAY DEVELOP THIS MORNING BETWEEN 12Z-16Z. TIMING OF STRATUS
RETURN TONIGHT IS LOW CONFIDENCE.

KBUR...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN 12Z TAF. THERE IS A 20% CHANCE OF
MVFR CIGS/VSBYS THIS MORNING. TIMING OF STRATUS RETURN TONIGHT IS
LOW CONFIDENCE.
