SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
930 PM PST TUE FEB 21 2012

NEW AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE AND OFFSHORE WINDS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
FRIDAY AND RAISE TEMPERATURES TO ABOVE NORMAL. WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED
TO HAVE THE STRONGER WINDS AND BE THE WARMEST. A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
WILL PUSH THE HIGH WESTWARD ON SATURDAY...INCREASING THE ONSHORE
FLOW AND BRING A COOLING TREND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT-FRI)...FAIR SKIES WITH VARYING AMOUNTS OF HI
CLOUDS WERE NOTED OVER SOUTHWESTERN CA THIS EVENING...AND LITTLE
CHANGE CAN BE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE
GREAT BASIN WILL INCREASE OFFSHORE GRADIENTS OVERNIGHT. AS A
RESULT...OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BUILD AS WELL...WITH STRONG AND GUSTY N
TO NE WINDS DEVELOPING BELOW AND THRU THE PASSES AND CANYONS OF THE
VTU/L.A. COUNTY MTNS AND VALLEYS EXCEPT THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY.
GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE MTNS...WITH GUSTS UP TO 40
MPH FOR THE VALLEYS. WIND ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS
OVERNIGHT THRU NOON WEDNESDAY. PLEASE LEE LAXNPWLOX FOR THE LATEST
INFO ON THE WIND ADVISORIES.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL EXPAND INLAND OVER CENTRAL AND SRN CA FROM
THE E PAC TONIGHT THRU WED. THE RIDGING SHOULD GRADUALLY WEAKEN WED
NIGHT AND THU...WITH GENERALLY FLAT UPPER RIDGING LINGERING OVER THE
AREA ON FRI. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL OVER THE
FORECAST AREA THRU FRI...EXCEPT FOR A FEW HI CLOUDS AT TIMES. THERE
MAY POSSIBLY BE A FEW LOW CLOUDS ON THE L.A. COUNTY COAST FRI
MORNING...HOWEVER THE LATEST WRF IS INDICATING THE LOW CLOUDS MAY
REMAIN OFF THE COAST. OFFSHORE FLOW CAN BE EXPECTED ESPECIALLY NIGHT
AND MORNING HOURS DURING THE PERIOD AS WELL. IT APPEARS THE FOCUS OF
THE STRONGER N TO NE WINDS WILL BE OVER SLO/SBA COUNTIES WED NIGHT
INTO THU MORNING...THEN SHIFT BACK INTO VTU/L.A. COUNTIES FOR THU
NIGHT INTO FRI MORNING. GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS SHOULD AFFECT THE SBA
S COAST AND SANTA YNEZ RANGE WED EVENING...WHERE WIND ADVISORIES MAY
BE NEEDED. TEMPS WILL BE RATHER WARM ON WED AND ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEG
ABOVE NORMAL FOR MOST AREAS...TURN ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER FOR THU.
HIGHS ON FRI SHOULD FALL FURTHER BUT STILL BE SEVERAL DEG ABOVE
NORMAL ACROSS THE REGION.

***FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION***

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...PRETTY QUIET PERIOD THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
WEAK ONSHORE FLOW OVER THE WEEKEND MAY ALLOW SOME MARINE LYR TO FORM
ACROSS THE COASTAL AREAS, OTHERWISE MAINLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED.
EARLIER ECMWF RUNS HAD INDICATED POSSIBLY SOME VERY LIGHT RAIN
ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY BUT TODAY'S 12Z RUN
TRENDED MORE INLAND WITH THE TROF AND SIMILAR TO THE LAST FEW GFS
RUNS. THUS, DRY WEATHER EXPECTED FOR ANOTHER WEEK AT LEAST. TEMPS
WILL BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL NORMS AS THE INSIDE SLIDER
PATTERN KEEPS SOME COLD AIR OVER US THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. MAY BE
SOME WEAK TO MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW AND LOCALLY GUSTY CANYON WINDS,
ESPECIALLY TUESDAY.
