RAT

SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
245 AM PST THU JAN 26 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE REGION'S WEATHER THROUGH SUNDAY
ALONG WITH OFFSHORE WINDS...THAT WILL BECOME VERY GUSTY FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY SUNDAY. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL APPROACH RECORD
LEVELS...BUT TEMPERATURES INTO THE WEEKEND WILL BE COOLER ALTHOUGH
STILL ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS. LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH BY MONDAY TO
DROP THE TEMPERATURES BACK TO AROUND THE SEASONAL NORMALS EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-SAT)...OVERALL...00Z MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD
SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT UPPER LEVELS...RATHER
FLAT RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA TODAY...THEN THE RIDGE WILL
BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED FRIDAY/SATURDAY AS A TROUGH DIVES INTO THE
GREAT BASIN. NEAR THE SURFACE...A WEAK NORTHERLY GRADIENT WILL BE
IN PLACE TODAY...THEN THE NORTHERLY GRADIENT WILL STRENGTHEN ON
FRIDAY...BEFORE STRENGTHENING MORE ON SATURDAY AND TURNING MORE
NORTHEASTERLY.

FORECAST WISE...MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME SIGNIFICANT WINDS. FOR TODAY...THERE WILL BE SOME RATHER
LOCALIZED NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...WITH ONLY
SOME VERY WEAK WINDS THIS MORNING ACROSS THE COASTS/VALLEYS. FOR
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...THE NORTHERLY GRADIENTS INCREASE AND UPPER
SUPPORT IMPROVES. SO...THERE SHOULD BE AN INCREASE IN NORTHERLY
WINDS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS. AT THIS TIME...WILL KEEP WINDS JUST
BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS FOR TONIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING...AND LET THE DAY
SHIFT LOOK AT A NEW MODEL RUN TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ABOUT ANY
POSSIBLE ADVISORIES. HOWEVER BY FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...THE WIND
SITUATION LOOKS TO INCREASE DRAMATICALLY AS THE NORTHEASTERLY
GRADIENTS STRENGTHEN. THE 00Z NAM CONTINUES TO BE VERY CONSISTENT
WITH PREVIOUS RUNS...INDICATING 40-60 KNOT WINDS BELOW 850 MB FRIDAY
NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING WITH GOOD SUBSIDENCE/COLD ADVECTION. SO...THE
CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED WITH REGARD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A RATHER
STRONG SANTA ANA WIND EVENT. WITH THE MORNING FORECAST...WILL ISSUE
A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY MOUNTAINS
INCLUDING THE SANTA MONICAS FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. THE COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS OF VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES
COUNTIES WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE STRONG ADVISORY-LEVEL WINDS DURING
THE SAME TIME PERIOD...AND WIND ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED
BY FUTURE SHIFTS.

OTHER THAN THE WINDS...MAIN CONCERN WILL BE HIGH TEMPERATURES. WITH
CONTINUED OFFSHORE GRADIENTS AND WARMER BOUNDARY LAYER...TODAY
SHOULD BE THE WARMEST DAY IN THE SHORT TERM. ACROSS THE CENTRAL
COAST...TEMPS WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S. SOUTH OF
POINT CONCEPTION...TEMPS WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID 70S TO MID 80S. IN
SOME SPOTS...HIGH TEMPS COULD COME VERY CLOSE TO RECORD LEVELS...SO
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A RECORD OR TWO THIS AFTERNOON. FOR
FRIDAY...WITH THE RIDGE WEAKENING AND WEAKER OFFSHORE GRADIENTS...
TEMPS SHOULD BE COOLER (GENERALLY IN THE 70S ACROSS THE COASTS AND
VALLEYS) BUT STILL ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS. FOR SATURDAY...HIGH TEMPS
WILL BE TRICKY AS ANY COMPRESSIONAL WARMING FROM THE STRONG OFFSHORE
WINDS WILL BE BATTLING COLD ADVECTION. AT THIS TIME...WOULD EXPECT
SOME WARMING ON SATURDAY ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN...BUT PERSISTENT
OR COOLER TEMPS ACROSS THE VALLEYS/MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS.

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...FOR THE EXTENDED...MODELS START OUT IN PRETTY
GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT...BUT BEGIN TO DIVERGE NOTICEABLY NEXT WEEK.
AT UPPER LEVELS...ALL MODELS INDICATE THE RIDGE FLATTENS OUT SUNDAY
AND MONDAY AS A SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. FOR
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THE GFS AND GEM GRADUALLY BUILD THE UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE AREA ONCE AGAIN. ON THE OTHER HAND...THE ECMWF
INDICATES AN UPPER LOW WILL DROP ACROSS THE AREA....BRINGING THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME RAIN LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

FORECAST-WISE...SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL BE RATHER BENIGN. LINGERING
OFFSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP THINGS COMFORTABLY ABOVE NORMAL. HOWEVER ON
MONDAY...ONSHORE FLOW WILL RETURN...BRINGING A NOTICEABLE DROP IN
TEMPERATURES.

FOR TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY...THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODELS LEADS TO
A RATHER LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST. HOWEVER...SINCE THIS IS FIRST
ECMWF RUN TO INDICATE ANY RAIN POTENTIAL FOR WEDNESDAY...WILL FOCUS
THE FORECAST UPON THE MORE CONSISTENT GFS/GEM SOLUTIONS. WITH THAT
BEING SAID...WILL EXPECT SOME VERY SLIGHT WARMING ON TUESDAY...THEN
MORE NOTICEABLY WARMING ON WEDNESDAY AS OFFSHORE GRADIENTS INCREASE.

&&

.AVIATION...26/1145Z...

WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE 12Z TAF PACKAGE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...HEIGHTENED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL BE LIKELY
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY ACROSS VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES
DUE TO THE ONSET OF A POTENTIALLY STRONG SANTA ANA WIND EVENT.
MODEL CROSS SECTIONS SHOWING RAPID DRYING FRIDAY NIGHT AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY. DURING THIS TIME...THERE
WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES ACROSS
VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES. WHILE THERE IS A HIGH LIKELIHOOD
THAT WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL REACH CRITICAL RED FLAG THRESHOLDS OVER
A LARGE PORTION OF VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES...WILL HOLD OFF
FOR NOW ISSUING ANY FIRE WEATHER WATCHES DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY IN
FUEL MOISTURE CONDITIONS DUE TO THE RECENT RAINFALL.
