SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
140 PM PDT MON MAY 21 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

GUSTY WINDS WILL BE ON THE MENU TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH
THE PEAK WINDS OCCURING IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE ONSHORE FLOW
WILL BRING NIGHT TO MORNING CLOUDS AND FOG MAINLY FOR THE COASTAL
PLAINS...OTHERWISE FAIR SKIES THIS WEEK. THE AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES
WILL PEAK ON TUESDAY...AND THEN BEGIN THE DESCENT TO BELOW NORMAL
INTO SATURDAY. A LOW WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTH BY FRIDAY AND
WILL INCREASE THE MARINE LAYER INTO SATURDAY...THEN EXIT ON SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-THU)...WINDS REALLY THE MAIN IMPACT STORY NEXT
FEW DAYS. NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BE INCREASING ACROSS THE AREA AS A
COUPLE OF WEATHER SYSTEMS PASS THROUGH THE PAC NW. DECENT SUBSIDENCE
WILL TRANSPORT SOME OF THE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT DOWN TOWARDS THE
SURFACE, AND WITH THOSE WINDS SQUEEZING THROUGH THE PASSES AND
CANYONS OF THE TRANSVERSE RANGES WIND SPEEDS COULD EXCEED WARNING
LEVELS IN SOME AREAS, ESPECIALLY SRN SBA COUNTY, THE I5 CORRIDOR,
AND THE WESTERN AND FOOTHILL PORTIONS OF THE ANTELOPE VALLEY.
CONFIDENCE HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO GO WITH A HIGH WIND WARNING
FOR THE I5 AND AV LATE TUESDAY THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY. HOWEVER,
CONFIDENCE NOT AS HIGH THAT WE'LL SEE WARNING LEVEL WINDS IN SRN SBA
COUNTY AND HAVE OPTED TO JUST GO WITH A WATCH FOR NOW. CROSS
SECTIONS THROUGH THE 12Z NAM IN THAT AREA SUGGEST THE BEST
COMBINATION OF WINDS AND SUBSIDENCE WILL BE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IN THE
MEANTIME, WINDS SHOULD REACH ADVISORY LEVELS THERE AT LEAST THE NEXT
COUPLE NIGHTS, INCLUDING TONIGHT. ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ALSO EXPECTED
ALONG THE CENTRAL COAST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS AND THE
SANTA CLARITA VALLEY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY EVENINGS AS THE WINDS
MOVE DOWN FROM THE GRAPEVINE.

SORT OF A MIXED BAG OF TEMPERATURE TRENDS NEXT FEW DAYS. PROBABLY
VERY LITTLE CHANGE TUESDAY FROM TODAY, HOWEVER SRN SBA COUNTY SHOULD
WARM UP WITH THE NORTHWEST FLOW INCREASING THROUGH THE DAY AND INTO
THE EVENING. SAME SCENARIO FOR THAT AREA WED, IF NOT STRONGER AND
THERE COULD BE SOME IMPRESSIVE EARLY EVENING WARM UPS AS THE WINDS
MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE PASSES AND CANYONS. ELSEWHERE WEDNESDAY
MOST AREAS, ESPECIALLY INLAND SHOULD SEE SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES AS A TROF STARTS TO CARVE OUT ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN
AND COOLER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA. THESE TRENDS WILL BECOME MORE
PRONOUNCED THURSDAY.

THE STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW SHOULD KEEP THE MARINE LYR CONFINED TO LA
COUNTY AND THE CENTRAL COAST TONIGHT, THEN JUST SRN LA COUNTY WED
AND THU.

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...THE TROF WILL CONTINUE TO DIG THROUGH THE
GREAT BASIN INTO FRI THEN BEGIN TO LIFT OUT OVER THE WEEKEND. FRIDAY
LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE THE COOLEST DAY WITH A MARINE LYR POSSIBLY
DEEP ENOUGH TO REACH THE LOWER COASTAL SLOPES OF LA/VENTURA COUNTIES
AND MAYBE EVEN SOME MORNING DRIZZLE. THEN JUST PARTIAL AFTERNOON
CLEARING THERE. A FEW DEGREES OF WARMING EXPECTED SATURDAY THEN
BETTER WARMING, ESPECIALLY INLAND, SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH HIGHS BACK
UP IN THE LOWER 90S FOR THE VALLEYS BY MEMORIAL DAY. FURTHER NORTH I
DONT REALLY SEE ANY SIGNS OF A SOUTHERLY SURGE THAT WILL BRING
CLOUDS BACK TO THE CENTRAL COAST SO I'VE DECIDED TO GO WITH A MOSTLY
CLEAR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WITH SIMILAR TEMPERATURE TRENDS.

&&

.AVIATION...21/1740Z...

MARINE INVERSION HOVERING AROUND 1200 FEET...WITH STRATUS CLEARING
TO THE BEACHES ON SATELLITE. EXPECT VFR CONDS TO PREVAIL AT ALL
AIRFIELDS THROUGH THIS EVENING...AS STRATUS SHOULD CONTINUE TO
DISSIPATE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT...EXPECT INVERSION TO BE
A BIT LOWER...WITH STRATUS COMING BACK INTO THE CENTRAL COAST AND
ALONG THE VENTURA/LA COUNTY COASTS. DEVELOPING NORTHERLY FLOW WILL
PRODUCE SOME LLWS/TURBULENCE AT KSBA THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

KLAX...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN 18Z TAF. THERE IS A 30% CHANCE THAT
IFR CONDS COULD MOVE INTO THE AIRFIELD A FEW HOURS EARLIER THAN
CURRENT 09Z FORECAST.

KBUR...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN 18Z TAF.
