SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
145 PM PST WED FEB 22 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

THE HIGH WILL LINGER INTO FRIDAY AND WITH OFFSHORE WINDS WILL RAISE
TEMPERATURES TO ABOVE NORMAL. THE HIGH IS FORCED WESTWARD SATURDAY
AS A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH ADVANCES OVER THE REGION. A COASTAL EDDY
MAY DEVELOP OVER THE WEEKEND WHICH SHOULD INCREASE THE CLOUDS IN THE
COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS...AND COOL AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES TO AROUND
NORMAL. A HIGH WILL APPROACH BY TUESDAY FOR A WARMING TREND.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-SAT)...PRETTY BENIGN WEATHER PATTERN NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE ERN PACIFIC WILL KEEP THE AREA WARM
AND DRY THROUGH FRIDAY. A BURST OF NORTHERLY FLOW TONIGHT WILL BRING
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS TO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN SBA COUNTY TONIGHT INTO
EARLY THURSDAY. OTHERWISE, WEAKENING OFFSHORE FLOW WILL RESULT IN
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS THURSDAY FOR MOST COASTAL AND VALLEY ZONES,
BUT STILL WELL ABOVE NORMAL. OFFSHORE FLOW STRENGTHENS FRIDAY THOUGH
I'M SUSPICIOUS OF THE -7 MB LAX-DAG GRADIENT INDICATED ON THE 12Z
NAM THIS MORNING. THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE ADVISORY-WORTHY BUT I
SUSPECT IT WILL BE MORE LIKE HALF THAT WITH JUST SOME LOCAL ADVISORY
LEVEL GUSTS IN THE USUAL FAVORED AREAS. AIR MASS IS QUITE A BIT
COOLER BY THEN AS THE ERN PACIFIC HIGH WEAKENS AND GETS PUSHED
SOUTH. SO DESPITE THE STRONGER OFFSHORE FLOW HIGHS FRIDAY WILL
PROBABLY BE ABOUT THE SAME OVERALL AS THURSDAY AND PERHAPS EVEN A
COUPLE DEGREES COOLER ACROSS THE MTNS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY.

HIGH PRESSURE WEAKENS A BIT MORE GOING INTO THE WEEKEND AS A COUPLE
OF LOW PRESSURE TROFS MOVE INTO THE PAC NW. THIS WILL BRING A RETURN
TO ONSHORE FLOW ACROSS THE AREA WITH CONSIDERABLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND POSSIBLY EVEN SOME PATCHY MARINE LYR CLOUDS FOR
COASTAL AND LOWER VALLEY AREAS. INVERSION WILL BE FAIRLY WEAK SO NOT
LIKELY A REAL SOLID SUMMER-LIKE STRATUS COVERAGE BUT ENOUGH TO CLOUD
THINGS UP A FAIR AMOUNT FOR AREAS CLOSER TO THE COAST, ESPECIALLY
LA/VENTURA COUNTIES. DECENT CLEARING EXPECTED FOR THE AFTERNOON BUT
DAYTIME TEMPS WILL BE BACK DOWN INTO THE 60S FOR MOST LOWER
ELEVATION LOCATIONS WITH A DECENT ONSHORE BREEZE IN THE AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...BREEZES EXPECTED TO GET STRONGER SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY, ESPECIALLY FOR MOUNTAIN AREAS WHERE NORTHWEST
FLOW MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR ADVISORIES THERE. FAIRLY COOL ONSHORE
FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WITH NO
PRECIPITATION EXPECTED AND JUST VERY MINOR DAY TO DAY CHANGES IN
TEMPS AND OVERALL WEATHER CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...22/1740Z...
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL AIRPORTS THROUGH 10Z.
BREEZY NORTH WINDS MAY BRING SOME LIGHT LLWS TO KVNY THROUGH 21Z
TODAY. THERE IS A 40 PERCENT CHANCE OF IFR CIGS/VIS AT KPRB 10-16Z.
WEAK EDDY EXPECTED AFTER 10Z TONIGHT...BRINGING A 70 PERCENT CHANCE
OF MVFR VIS AT KLAX AND KLGB...WITH A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF IFR
CIGS/VIS.

KLAX...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR THROUGH 10Z WITH TYPICAL AFTERNOON
WEST WINDS. WEAK EDDY EXPECTED AFTER 10Z TONIGHT...BRINGING A 70
PERCENT CHANCE OF MVFR VIS 10-17Z...AND A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF IFR
CIGS/VIS.

KBUR...HI CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THURSDAY. LIGHT LLWS
IS POSSIBLE WITH BREEZY NE WINDS ALOFT 18-21Z TODAY.
