SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
1003 AM PST THU NOV 14 2013

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...

COOLER AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TODAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND
AS THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WEAKENS AND AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH FROM THE NORTH. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION FOR EASTERN LOS ANGELES COUNTY SATURDAY AND EARLY
SUNDAY WITH THE BEST CHANCES IN THE SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAIN FOOTHILLS
SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS EARLY NEXT WEEK TO BRING ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES MOST AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY-SAT)...
THE TRANSITION TO COOLER WEATHER OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS IS
ALREADY OCCURRING AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS STARTING TO BREAK DOWN
IN ADVANCE OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROF CURRENTLY DIGGING SOUTH THROUGH
WASHINGTON STATE. WINDS ALONG THE CENTRAL COAST ARE SHOWING A
GRADUAL INCREASE IN THEIR ONSHORE COMPONENT AND STRATUS HAS SNEAKED
INTO THE SOME PARTS OF THE SBA CENTRAL COAST AND THE EXTREME
NORTHERN SLO COUNTY COAST. TEMPERATURES THOSE AREAS ARE QUITE A BIT
COOLER THIS MORNING COMPARED TO YESTERDAY AT THIS TIME. FURTHER
SOUTH CONDITIONS ARE STILL FAIRLY MILD WITH PLENTY OF SUN AND
READINGS IN THE 70S COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS....IN FACT A LITTLE
WARMER THAN YESTERDAY MORNING'S READINGS. THE LAX-DAG PRESSURE
GRADIENT IS STILL PRETTY HEALTHY OFFSHORE AT -4.7...BUT IS SHOWING A
WEAK ONSHORE TREND COMPARED TO YESTERDAY AT THIS TIME. 12Z MODELS
ARE STILL ON TRACK WITH CONTINUED LOWERING HEIGHTS...AND FOR SOUTH
OF POINT CONCEPTION...THE RETURN OF ONSHORE FLOW AND THE ASSOCIATED
COOL DOWN THIS AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH LA AND VTU COUNTY TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED TO BE COOLER THIS AFTERNOON WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS OUT
TO THE COAST COMPARED TO YESTERDAY...THEY WILL STILL BE QUITE A BIT
ABOVE NORMAL THANKS TO THE RECORD WARM CONDITIONS OF YESTERDAY.

EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF SUNDOWNER WINDS FOR SBA COUNTY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THE MONTECITO HILLS RAWS RECORDED WINDS
GUSTING JUST OVER 50 MPH LAST EVENING...BUT TONIGHT SHOULD SEE THE
STRONGER WINDS SHIFT SLIGHTLY FURTHER WEST TOWARD THE GAVIOTA AREA
AND BE MORE NORTHWESTERLY THAN NORTHEASTERLY. THE WIND ADVISORY FOR
THE SBA SOUTH COAST AND MOUNTAINS STILL LOOKS TO BE NEEDED GIVEN THE
LATEST MODEL FORECASTS.

FRIDAY WILL BE QUITE BIT COOLER AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SWINGS
THROUGH THE WESTERN GREAT BASIN AND PULLS A VORT LOBE THROUGH THE
AREA BY LATE AFTERNOON AND LOWER OUR HEIGHTS. COASTAL CLOUDS AND FOG
RETURN TO LA COUNTY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A FAIRLY STRONG EDDY.
THE TREND FOR EVEN COOLER TEMPS ON SATURDAY STILL LOOKS ON
TRACK...ALTHOUGH NOT VERY IMPRESSED WITH OUR PRECIP CHANCES
CURRENTLY FORECAST FOR THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY AND EASTERN SAN
GABRIEL MOUNTAINS LATE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WILL TAKE A CLOSER
LOOK THIS AFTERNOON AND ADJUST IF NECESSARY.

FORECAST LOOKS GOOD WITH NO CHANGES NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

***FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION***

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...
THE TROFING ENDS SUNDAY AND SKIES SHOULD CLEAR OUT, THE ADDED
SUNSHINE WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW DEGREES OF WARMING BUT MAX TEMPS WILL
STILL BE BELOW NORMAL.

WESTERLY FLOW AND RISING HGTS WILL MAKE FOR A NICE DAY (CLOUDY COLD
WEEKEND AND A SUNNY WARM UP FOR MONDAY NOT QUITE THE OPTIMAL TIMING
FOR SURE) WITH MAX TEMPS ONLY A DEGREE OR SO BLO NORMAL.

MDLS REVERSED COURSE FOR TUE-WED FCST AND NOW A STRONG WESTERLY
ZONAL FLOW PATTERN INSTEAD OF THE RIDGE. DID NOT GO WHOLE HOG INTO
THIS SOLN BUT DID LOP OFF SEVERAL DEGREES FROM THE MAX TEMPS...BUT
IF MDLS CONTINUE TO GO IN THIS DIRECTION THE FCST WILL NEED FURTHER
COOLING AND A LOT MORE STRATUS.

&&

.AVIATION...14/1800Z...

N OF PT CONCEPTION...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN 18Z TAFS. FOR THE
OVERNIGHT TIME PERIOD...THERE IS A 20% CHANCE THAT N WINDS WILL KEEP
LIFR CIGS/VSBY FROM FORMING OVER KSMX. THERE IS A 20% CHANCE THAT
LOW CLOUDS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD...AFFECTING KSBP EARLY FRI
MORNING. OTHERWISE VFR CONDS EXPECTED.

S OF PT CONCEPTION...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN 18Z TAFS. VFR
CONDS ARE ANTICIPATED THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR ALL SITES. FOR THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD...EXPECT STRATUS TO MOVE ACROSS KLAX/KLGB AS AN
EDDY FORMS OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS. HOWEVER...THE TIMING OF THIS
STRATUS RETURN AS WELL AS FLIGHT CATEGORY IS LOW CONFIDENCE.

GUSTY N WINDS EXPECTED NEAR KSBA...WITH A CHANCE OF TURBULENCE
AND/OR LLWS AFTER 12Z FRI.

KLAX...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDS THROUGH THIS EVENING...THEN
MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR TONIGHT DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING AND
HEIGHT OF LOWER CIGS/VSBY.

KBUR...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN 18Z TAF WITH VFR CONDS EXPECTED.
