SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
240 AM PDT THU OCT 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL IMPACT THE REGION TODAY...THEN TRANSITION
TO A WIDESPREAD SANTA ANA WIND EVENT TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. DURING
THIS TIME...THERE WILL BE WARMING AND DRYING WITH CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL MAINTAIN WARM AND DRY
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. GRADUAL COOLING TREND EARLY NEXT WEEK

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-SAT)...OVERALL...00Z MODELS IN GOOD SYNOPTIC
AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT UPPER LEVELS...RIDGE WILL DEVELOP
ALONG THE WEST COAST WHILE A TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED
STATES. NEAR THE SURFACE...OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BE ON THE INCREASE
TODAY AND FRIDAY...THEN WILL DECREASE ON SATURDAY.

FORECAST-WISE...MAIN ISSUE WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE WINDS. CURRENTLY
THE NORTHERLY ARE BLOWING PRETTY GOOD ACROSS THE AREA AS OFFSHORE
NORTHERLY TRENDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE. WIND ADVISORIES ARE CURRENTLY
IN PLACE FOR MOST AREAS OF VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES...AND
SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY...AND WILL CONTINUE. WITH THE
NORTHERLY OFFSHORE WINDS...SKIES WILL REMAIN CLEAR TODAY AND
AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL BE WARMER DUE TO ADIABATIC WARMING ASSOCIATED
WITH THE DOWNSLOPE WINDS.

FOR TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...THE FLOW WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST WHICH
WILL ALLOW A GOOD SANTA ANA WIND TO DEVELOP ACROSS VENTURA AND LOS
ANGELES COUNTIES. 00Z MODELS STILL INDICATE A VERY STRONG OFFSHORE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WHICH WILL BE THE MAIN DRIVING FACTOR OF THE SANTA
ANA WINDS. THE COLD AIR ADVECTION AND UPPER LEVEL WIND SUPPORT IS
NOT SPECTACULAR...BUT WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH TO ENHANCE THE SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT. THEREFORE...STILL ANTICIPATE THE STRONGEST SANTA
ANA EVENT OF THE SEASON SO FAR. AS USUAL...MAIN FOCUS WILL BE ACROSS
VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES WHERE NUMEROUS HIGH WIND WARNINGS
AND WIND ADVISORIES ARE IN PLACE. IN THE WINDIER SPOTS...GUSTS
BETWEEN 60 AND 65 MPH ARE LIKELY. ONE AREA THAT WILL HAVE TO BE
WATCHED FOR LATE TONIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING WILL BE THE CENTRAL COAST.
THE 00Z NAM INDICATES THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME PRETTY GUSTY NORTHEAST
WINDS ACROSS THE AREA. AT THIS TIME...WILL KEEP SAN LUIS OBISPO AND
WESTERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY WINDS BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS...BUT WOULD
NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THESE AREAS GET WINDIER THAN CURRENTLY
FORECAST. ONCE AGAIN WITH THE CONTINUED OFFSHORE FLOW...TEMPS SHOULD
BE A LITTLE BIT WARMER FRIDAY AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE
MOUNTAINS.

FOR FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY...THE OFFSHORE GRADIENTS...AS WELL AS THE
THERMAL AND WIND SUPPORT...DECREASE. THEREFORE...WILL EXPECT A
CONTINUED OFFSHORE FLOW...BUT NOTICEABLY WEAKER COMPARED TO WHAT IS
EXPECTED ON FRIDAY. WITH THE OFFSHORE FLOW CONTINUING (ALBEIT
WEAKER)...TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO EXHIBIT A SLIGHT WARMING TREND.

AS THE OFFSHORE FLOW STRENGTHENS...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO
DRY OUT. THEREFORE...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY.
FOR MORE DETAILS...PLEASE REFER TO THE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION
BELOW.

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...OVERALL...00Z MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD
SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT UPPER LEVELS...RIDGE WILL
SHIFT OVER THE AREA SUNDAY/MONDAY...THEN BECOME FLATTENED AS A
STRONG LOW APPROACHES THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY. NEAR
THE SURFACE...WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW WILL REMAIN ON SUNDAY...THEN
ONSHORE FLOW WILL GRADUALLY REESTABLISH MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

FORECAST-WISE...NO SIGNIFICANT ISSUES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD. WITH THE OFFSHORE FLOW...SUNDAY WILL BE A WARM AND DRY DAY
WITH SOME LOCAL CANYON BREEZES.

FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE RETURN OF ONSHORE FLOW AS WELL AS
THE UPPER LOW APPROACHING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL RESULT IN A
NOTICEABLE COOLING TREND THROUGH WEDNESDAY. AS FOR CLOUDS...WILL
EXPECT THE MARINE LAYER STRATUS TO BEGIN TO MAKE A RETURN BY TUESDAY
OR WEDNESDAY MORNING. ALSO...THERE WILL BE SOME INCREASE IN HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDS ON WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW APPROACHES THE WEST COAST. AT
THIS TIME...THERE IS THE OUTSIDE CHANCE THAT THE TAIL END OF A
WEAKENING COLD FRONT COULD BRING SOME SHOWERS TO AREAS NORTH OF
POINT CONCEPTION. HOWEVER AT THIS TIME...THE POTENTIAL IS VERY LOW
AND WILL NOT BE MENTIONED IN THE MORNING FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...25/1145Z...

WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE 12Z TAF PACKAGE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH THIS MORNING. THE STRONGEST NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BE FOCUSED
ACROSS THE INTERSTATE 5 CORRIDOR THROUGH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
MOUNTAINS AND SANTA CLARITA VALLEY AS WELL AS THE SANTA MONICA
MOUNTAINS...WITH GUSTS IN THE 40 TO 50 MPH RANGE. THE NORTHERLY
WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE SANTA BARBARA SOUTH
COAST...SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AND LOS ANGELES COAST FROM MALIBU TO THE
HOLLYWOOD HILLS...WITH GUSTS IN THE 30 TO 40 MPH RANGE. HUMIDITIES
ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER TO BETWEEN 10 AND 20 PERCENT MAINLY ACROSS LOS
ANGELES COUNTY WHERE THE DRIEST AIR RESIDES. BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH TODAY FOR PORTIONS OF LOS
ANGELES COUNTY AS WELL AS THE SANTA YNEZ RANGE. HOWEVER DURATIONS
ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY LONG TO WARRANT A RED FLAG WARNING AT THIS
TIME.

THE GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL HELP TO PRIME THE ALREADY DRY FUELS
ACROSS THE REGION. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST
TONIGHT...WITH THE STRONGEST AND MOST WIDESPREAD SANTA ANA WIND
EVENT EXPECTED SO FAR THIS SEASON. RED FLAG WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT
FOR MUCH OF VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES FROM TONIGHT THROUGH
EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL LIKELY OCCUR LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA
COUNTIES...WHEN GUSTS IN THE 55 TO 65 MPH RANGE WILL BE LIKELY.
OFFSHORE WINDS GUSTING TO BETWEEN 40 AND 55 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED
ACROSS COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS AS WELL. HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL
GENERALLY RANGE BETWEEN 10 AND 20 PERCENT FROM THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...THEN LOWER TO BETWEEN 5 AND 10
PERCENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE WARNING AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY
EVENING. AFTER VERY POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERIES ON FRIDAY NIGHT...LOOK
FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES AND WARMER TEMPERATURES
ON SATURDAY. THERE WILL ALSO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF
STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITIES ACROSS THE SANTA YNEZ RANGE AND
SOUTH COAST ON THURSDAY EVENING...ESPECIALLY NEAR MONTECITO
HILLS...THAT COULD RESULT IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS FOR THOSE AREAS AS WELL.

IF FIRE IGNITION OCCURS...THIS SANTA ANA WIND EVENT WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BRING RAPID SPREAD OF WILDFIRE DUE TO CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS AND CRITICALLY DRY FUELS.
