SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
850 AM PDT TUE AUG 21 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

A LOW SYSTEM WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES INTO WEDNESDAY. THE TEMPERATURES
WILL LINGER BELOW THE SEASONAL NORMALS INTO FRIDAY. THE WEEKEND
SHOULD HAVE A HIGH SYSTEM OVER THE REGION WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR
NORMAL AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...EXCEPT FOR THE MARINE LAYER AT THE
COAST. THE TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO NORMAL BY MONDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-THU)...LATEST SATELLITE SHOWS SOME MID-LEVEL
CLOUDS DEVELOPING/DRIFTING ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOME STRATUS ALONG
THE COAST. EXPECT STRATUS TO BURN OFF NICELY LATER THIS MORNING...
WITH THE MID-LEVEL CLOUDS MAKING FOR A MOSTLY SUNNY/PARTLY CLOUDY
AFTERNOON. LOOKING AT MOISTURE/CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS...THERE DOES
APPEAR TO BE SOME SOME DECENT INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE OVER THE SAN
GABRIELS AND EASTERN ANTELOPE VALLEY. SO...CURRENT SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS FOR THESE AREAS LOOK GOOD. DO NOT SEE ANY EXTREME AMOUNTS OF
PWATS THIS AFTERNOON...SO DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY SIGNIFICANT FLASH
FLOODING POTENTIAL FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS. AS FOR TEMPS...CURRENT
24 HOUR TRENDS ARE A FEW DEGREES BELOW MONDAY...SO COOLER FORECAST
FOR TODAY LOOKS GOOD.

WILL HAVE TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE CONVECTIVE POSSIBILITY FOR
TONIGHT AS UPPER LOW MOVES OVERHEAD. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
NOCTURNAL CONVECTION...AND POSSIBLY SOME DRY LIGHTNING. WILL WAIT
FOR A FULL MODEL SUITE TO MAKE ANY FINAL DETERMINATION. STAY TUNED
FOR THE AFTERNOON DISCUSSION.

DID ISSUE A ZONE UPDATE EARLIER THIS MORNING TO ADJUST CLOUD WORDING
TO ANTICIPATED SKY COVERAGE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. NO OTHER CHANGES
WERE MADE.

*** LONG TERM FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ***

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...
MDLS ALL AGREE THAT THE FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY PERIOD WILL BE PRETTY
ROUTINE WITH THE WEAK RIDGE PERSISTING. THERE WILL BE NIGHT THROUGH
MORNING LOW CLOUDS AT THE COAST AND MAX AND MIN TEMPS WILL BE QUITE
CLOSE TO NORMALS. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE DRY AND STABLE AND NO
THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS.

THE MDLS ALL GO IN VARIOUS DIRECTIONS ON MONDAY TROF / RIDGE / ZONAL
FLOW TAKE YOUR PICK. CONTINUED THE SUNDAY FORECAST INTO MONDAY AND
WILL HOPE FOR SOME SORT OF MODEL CONVERGENCE TONIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...21/1145Z...
WIDESPREAD STRATUS ON THE CENTRAL COAST AND IN THE SANTA YNEZ VALLEY
THIS MORNING...WITH GENERALLY IFR TO LIFR CONDS...SHOULD CLEAR
DURING MID TO LATE MORNING. S OF PT CONCEPTION...STRATUS WITH IFR
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY AFFECT COASTAL SECTIONS FROM NEAR KSBA TO
KNTD...AND S COASTAL SECTIONS OF L.A. COUNTY. THE EDGE OF THE
STRATUS WILL LIKELY GET CLOSE TO KLAX THIS MORNING. EXPECT CLEARING
DURING THE MID TO LATE MORNING HERE AS WELL.

THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSTMS IN THE L.A. COUNTY MTNS AND
ANTELOPE VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND ACROSS ALL OF LOW
ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES LATE TONIGHT AND WED MORNING.

KLAX...LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN TAF. THERE IS A 40 PERCENT
CHANCE THAT IFR CIGS WILL AFFECT THE AIRPORT BETWEEN 13Z AND 17Z.
THERE IS A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE TONIGHT AND WED
MORNING.
