SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
340 AM PST WED FEB 15 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TODAY AND WILL
PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS...GUSTY WINDS...AND BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. THERE WILL ALSO BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE
STORM SYSTEM ON THURSDAY AND PRODUCE ABOVE NORMAL AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. IT WILL BE COOLER OVER THE
WEEKEND AS THE HIGH PRESSURE WEAKENS.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-FRI)...
A COLD UPPER LOW IS OVER THE SIERRAS JUST WEST OF RENO. A VERY
NARROW COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM THIS LOW TO MONTERREY. THE FRONT WILL
WASH OUT OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING THE UPPER LOW WILL SWING DOWN
JUST TO THE WEST OF THE STATE LINE. THE FRONT WILL PRODUCE A FEW
SHOWERS NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION BUT THERE IS JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE
THAT IT WILL PRODUCE A SHOWER SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION. THE BIGGER
WEATHER MAKER WILL BE THE UPPER LOW AS IT NEARS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. THE COLD POOL OF AIR ASSOC WITH IT WILL DESTABILIZE THE
ATMOSPHERE AND A SMALL VORT LOBE WILL MOVE AROUND THE LOW AND INTO
LOS ANGELES COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON. L.A. COUNTY WILL HAVE THE BEST
CHC OF RAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND WITH THE INSTABILITY AND DYNAMICS
THERE WILL ALSO BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM. SNOW LEVELS
WILL DROP TO 4000 FEET. THIS WILL NOT BE A BIG RAIN MAKER WITH
RAINFALL AMOUNTS PREDOMINATELY RANGING FROM A TRACE TO A TENTH OF AN
INCH WITH ONLY LOCAL QUARTER INCH AMOUNTS. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE
UNDER 4 INCHES. WINDS WILL AGAIN BE THE BIGGER STORY. WIND
ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR THE CENTRAL COAST AND SANTA YNEZ
VLY...THE COASTS OF SBA/VTA/LA COUNTIES...CATALINA ISLAND...THE
ANTELOPE VLY...THE SBA MTNS AND THE VENTURA COASTAL VLYS. THE L.A.
AND VTA MTNS ARE COVERED BY A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY SINCE THERE
WILL BE SNOW ALONG WITH THE WINDS. IT WILL BE RATHER COOL TODAY WITH
COASTAL AND VLY HIGHS ONLY REACHING INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S.

THE LOW WILL PLUNGE SOUTHWARD TONIGHT. ITS EFFECTS WILL NO LONGER BE
FELT BY SLO/SBA/VTA COUNTIES BUT A THREAT OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING OVER L.A. COUNTY. THE SHOWERS WILL MOSTLY
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT SAVE FOR THE NORTH SLOPES OF THE SAN GABRIELS AND
THE ANTELOPE VLY WHERE WRAP AROUND WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF SHOWERS
GOING OVERNIGHT. AS THE NW WINDS ARE WINDING DOWN...HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO NEVADA BEHIND THE LOW WILL BEGIN TO PRODUCE A GOOD
NORTH TO NORTHEAST GRADIENT. LOOK FOR NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS TO
INCREASE THROUGH AND BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

THURSDAY WILL BE BREEZY...SOME LINGERING CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE NORTH SLOPES OF THE SAN GABRIELS...BUT THE
WINDS WILL BE THE STORY OF THE DAY. NE WINDS WILL MIX DOWN AND
OVERSPREAD L.A. AND ERN VTA COUNTIES IN THE MORNING. MANY ADVISORIES
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AND THE MTNS COULD SEE GUSTS TO 60 MPH. AS
SUCH A HIGH WIND WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE VTA/LA MTNS FROM THU
MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON FRIDAY. HGTS WILL NOT RISE MUCH BUT THE
OFFSHORE FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR SEVERAL DEGREES OF WARMING THE COASTS
AND VLYS.

CONTINUED BREEZY FRIDAY WITH GOOD SFC HIGH PRESSURE OVER NEVADA AND
MODERATE NORTHEAST UPPER AIR SUPPORT AROUND THE UPPER LOW WHICH WILL
BE SOUTH OF YUMA. HGTS WILL RISE THROUGH THE DAY AS THE RIDGE BUILDS
IN. THIS SHOULD BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK. WITH MAX TEMPS
REACHING BACK TO NORMAL.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...
THE WARM UP WILL BE SHORT LIVED. A WEAK TROF WILL PUSH THE UPPER
HIGH DOWN SOUTH AND SWITCH THE OFFSHORE FLOW TO ONSHORE. THIS WILL
KICK OFF A MODERATE COOLING TREND ACROSS THE REGION. COOL NW FLOW
WITH THEN SET UP AND SKIES WILL BE PARTLY CLOUDY. SUNDAY WILL STILL
BE COOL...BUT THERE WILL BE A FEW DEGREES OF WARMING EACH DAY MON
AND TUE...ACTUALLY QUITE A BIT IF ONE BELIEVES THE EC SOLN.

&&

.AVIATION...

15/1140Z

SOME STRATUS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING...AHEAD OF A
FRONTAL SYSTEM DROPPING SWD THRU THE STATE. EXPECT MOSTLY LOW VFR TO
HIGH MVFR CIGS WITH THE STRATUS. EXPECT A 3 TO 5 PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS
WITH THE FRONT...WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS. IFR TO LIFR
CONDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE MTNS. GUSTY WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL
AFFECT THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SKIES WILL CLEAR OUT
IN MOST AREAS BY LATE EVENING.

KLAX...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. THERE IS A 30 TO 40
PERCENT THAT CONDITIONS COULD REMAIN VFR THRU THE PERIOD.
