SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
850 PM PDT MON AUG 6 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL
THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...WITH NIGHT THROUGH MORNING MARINE LAYER
CLOUDS AND FOG STAYING CONFINED MOSTLY TO THE COAST. ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE FOR THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MOUNTAINS
AND DESERT LATER IN THE WEEK AND THE WEEKEND AS MONSOON MOISTURE
WORKS INTO THE AREA.

&&

.UPDATE...

THE AIR MASS WARMED EFFICIENTLY TODAY AS UPPER-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE
CONTINUES TO BUILD WEST INTO THE AREA. THE LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS
ARE WARMING 950 MB TEMPERATURES FOR THE INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE
AREA FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING A BIT
MORE THAN FORECAST TODAY...THE PACKAGE WAS NUDGED WARMER FOR
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE INTERIOR. THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
VALLEYS WERE HELD STEADY DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN EARLIER SEA
BREEZE ARRIVING ON TUESDAY. LOCAL 4-KM WRF SOLUTIONS AND NAM-WRF
SOLUTIONS INDICATE A BIT STRONGER ONSHORE PUSH IN THE AFTERNOON ON
TUESDAY.

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE PACKAGE IS THE DEVELOPING SOUTHEAST FLOW
ALOFT DEVELOPING ON TUESDAY IF NAM-WRF AND LOCAL 4-KM WRF
SOLUTION HAVE IT PROGGED RIGHT. ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EVENING
SHOWERS COULD DEVELOP OVER THE SAN GABRIELS...COOLING THE EASTERN
PORTION OF THE ANTELOPE VALLEY DUE TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER. SOME
MID-LEVEL CAPE VALUES ARE PRESENT AND LIFTED INDEX VALUES NEAR -1.
FOR THE CURRENT TIME...ANY UPDATES WILL DELAYED TO WAIT FOR
ADDITIONAL DATA TO ARRIVE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM...THIS IS ALREADY PUSHING HIGHS CLOSE TO 105 ACROSS
THE WESTERN SAN FERNANDO VALLEY TODAY AND IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET
WARMER THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THE ONLY THING KEEPING HEAT
INDEX READINGS FROM EXCEEDING EXCESSIVE HEAT CRITERIA IS THE LACK
OF MOISTURE SO FAR. IN MOST AREAS HEAT INDICES ARE RUNNING AT
LEAST A FEW DEGREES BELOW THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE AND IT WILL
LIKELY REMAIN THIS WAY UNTIL LATER THIS WEEK WHEN SOME MOISTURE AT
LOWER LEVELS STARTS TO MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST. IN THE
MEANTIME, JUST VERY HOT FOR AREAS THAT ARE NOT CLOSE TO THE BEACH
AND NOT EXPECTING ANY RELIEF THIS WEEK. IN FACT, WITH THE 950 MB
40C LINE EASILY INTO THE ANTELOPE VALLEY BY THU LOOK FOR HIGHS
THERE TO REACH 110 OR HIGHER.

AT THE COAST COOLER THAN NORMAL OCEAN TEMPERATURES WILL HELP PROVIDE
A SIGNIFICANT MODERATING INFLUENCE THERE BUT STILL WARMER THAN
NORMAL. THE MARINE LYR IS VERY SHALLOW BUT THERE IS ENOUGH ONSHORE
FLOW TO KEEP AT LEAST SOME LOW CLOUDS AROUND. IN FACT, OUR LOCAL
HIGH RES WRF MODEL SHOWS A LITTLE EDDY CIRCULATION DEVELOPING IN THE
SBA CHANNEL LATER TONIGHT, HELPING TO PULL IN SOME LOW CLOUDS/FOG
INTO THE SOUTH COAST OF SRN SBA COUNTY. LOW CLOUDS WILL BE PATCHY AT
BEST SOUTH OF PT CONCEPTION WITH BETTER COVERAGE NORTH. WITH SHALLOW
INVERSION IN PLACE FOG WILL BE LOCALLY DENSE. NOT EXPECTING MUCH
CHANGE IN THIS SCENARIO THIS WEEK EITHER.

WE WILL START TO SEE AN INCREASE IN MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE
TUESDAY, MOSTLY ABOVE 700 MB. WHILE THIS MIGHT RESULT IN SOME
INCREASE IN AFTERNOON CLOUDS, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE MOUNTAINS, THERE
DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ENOUGH LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE TO SPAWN ANY
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH AT LEAST THU.

LONG TERM...HEAT WAVE TO CONTINUE AT LEAST THROUGH SATURDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS ANCHORED OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. SLIGHTLY
BETTER MOISTURE AT LOWER LEVELS WILL BRING A SMALL THREAT OF
AFTERNOON CONVECTION OVER THE ERN LA COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND ANTELOPE
VALLEY. THE MOISTURE WILL ALSO HELP BOOST HUMIDITIES, POSSIBLY
ENOUGH TO PUSH HEAT INDEX VALUES ABOVE EXCESSIVE HEAT CRITERIA FOR
THE VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS.

HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BREAK DOWN SUNDAY INTO MONDAY WHICH SHOULD
INITIATE A COOLING TREND. STILL WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THOUGH
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...06/0216Z.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL VALLEY AND DESERT TERMINALS
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. THERE IS A CHANCE OF VLIFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS
AT COASTAL TERMINALS BETWEEN 08Z AND 16Z. PERIODS OF MODERATE
LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR SHOULD OCCUR AT KSBA THROUGH 07Z.

KLAX...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...EXCEPT
FOR A CHANCE OF VLIFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS BETWEEN 10Z AND 16Z.
