SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
230 AM PST SAT FEB 11 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY BRINGING
THE CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT SHOWERS. DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. HOWEVER ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY...ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE WILL SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA...PRODUCING ANOTHER
THREAT OF SHOWERS. DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MON)...OVERALL...00Z MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD
SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD...ADVERTISING A COOL AND
UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN. AT UPPER LEVELS...TROUGH WILL MOVE
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...THEN A WEAK RIDGE WILL BUILD ON
MONDAY...BEFORE A CUTOFF LOW DROPS ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY.
NEAR THE SURFACE...MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL TODAY...
SHIFTING TO NORTHERLY ON SUNDAY...BEFORE SWITCHING BACK TO ONSHORE
ON MONDAY.

FORECAST-WISE...MAIN ISSUE IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
PRECIPITATION. CURRENTLY...SOME LIGHT SHOWERS ARE FALLING ACROSS
SLO/SBA COUNTIES AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH. THESE SHOWERS WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING ACROSS SLO/SBA COUNTIES...
WHILE AREAS SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION MAY SEE SOME DRIZZLE AS THE
MARINE LAYER DEEPENS. BY THIS AFTERNOON...THE UPPER TROUGH WILL BE
PASSING OVERHEAD WITH THE BEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS ACROSS INTERIOR
SECTIONS OF SLO/SBA COUNTIES AS WELL AS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAIN
SLOPES...WITH A SLIGHT SHOWER THREAT LINGERING ACROSS THE NORTH
SLOPES THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH THIS
EVENING WILL BE LIGHT...GENERALLY 0.10" OR LESS...ALTHOUGH SOME
UPSLOPE AREAS ACROSS THE CENTRAL COAST COULD SQUEEZE OUT A LITTLE
MORE. WITH SNOW LEVELS AROUND 6000 TO 6500 FEET...SOME SNOW FLURRIES
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

FOR SUNDAY...WITH WEAK RIDGING ALOFT...THINGS SHOULD REMAIN DRY
ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER BY SUNDAY NIGHT...THINGS WILL TURN TO THE
WETTER YET AGAIN. AT THIS TIME...00Z MODELS ALL HAVE THE SAME
GENERAL IDEA...WITH A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING...FOLLOWED BY THE UPPER LOW ITSELF. WITH
RESPECT TO THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW ON MONDAY...MODELS HAVE
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IDEAS...BUT GENERALLY KEEP THE CENTER OF THE LOW
OVER THE EASTERN DESERTS THROUGH THE DAY. COMPARED TO TODAY'S
SYSTEM...THE LOW ON MONDAY WILL HAVE A BIT MORE MOISTURE TO WORK
WITH...BUT STILL SHOULD NOT BE A SOAKER BY ANY MEANS. WILL EXPECT A
THREAT OF SHOWERS TO BEGIN ACROSS SLO/SBA COUNTIES SUNDAY
NIGHT...WITH THE SHOWERS SPREADING SOUTHWARD ON MONDAY. BEST
INSTABILITY SHOULD REMAIN EAST OF THE AREA...SO WILL NOT ENTERTAIN
ANY THUNDERSTORM MENTION (ALTHOUGH THE POSSIBILITY WILL HAVE TO
BE MONITORED). AT THIS TIME...WOULD EXPECT RAINFALL AMOUNTS TO BE
0.25" OR LESS ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP TO
AROUND 5000 FEET...SO THERE COULD BE A COUPLE INCHES OF NEW
SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS.

AS FOR TEMPS...THINGS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL NORMS THROUGH
MONDAY...WITH SUNDAY LIKELY THE "WARMEST" DAY DUE TO THE WEAK RIDGE
ALOFT.

WIND WISE...THERE WILL BE SOME GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS TODAY...AND THERE COULD BE SOME LOCALIZED
AREAS FLIRTING WITH ADVISORY-LEVELS WINDS THIS AFTERNOON (ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS OF THE ANTELOPE VALLEY). FOR TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY...THE FLOW WILL BE NORTHERLY...THEN WILL RETURN TO A GUSTY
WESTERLY DIRECTION ON MONDAY.

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...FOR THE EXTENDED...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW
DUE TO A WIDE ARRAY OF POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS FROM THE MODELS. ON
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...MOST MODELS HAVE THE IDEA OF MOVING MONDAY'S
UPPER LOW EASTWARD ACROSS THE 4-CORNERS AREA. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS
THE 00Z GFS WHICH DROPS ANOTHER POTENT UPPER LOW JUST OFF THE COAST
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY. THIS GFS IDEA IS VERY NEW...THEREFORE WILL
DISCOUNT IT FOR NOW. FOR THURSDAY/FRIDAY...THINGS REALLY START TO
DIVERGE...WHICH IS NOT SURPRISING GIVEN THIS PATTERN.

FORECAST WISE...WILL KEEP SOME MINOR THREAT OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE
AREA DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY...MAINLY ACROSS LAX COUNTY AND
INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE CWA AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES ON OUT. FOR
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WILL KEEP POPS BELOW MENTIONABLE
LEVELS...ALTHOUGH THAT WILL LIKELY CHANGE FROM DAY-TO-DAY BASED ON
THE WHIMS OF THE MODELS.

AS FOR TEMPS...THINGS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...WITH THINGS WARMING TO...OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE...NORMALS ON
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
