...STRONG RIP CURRENTS AND ELEVATED SURF EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTH
FACING BEACHES FOR LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND...

.TROPICAL STORM LOWELL WHICH WAS AROUND 1000 MILES SSW OF LOS
ANGELES THIS MORNING WILL BEGIN TO SEND INCREASING SWELLS AND
SURF TO SOUTH FACING BEACHES ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THROUGH
THIS WEEKEND. EXPECT A SOUTHERLY SWELL TO INCREASE TO 4 FEET
TODAY WITH A MODERATE 12 SECOND PERIOD. THIS WILL GENERATE STRONG
RIP CURRENTS ALONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FACING BEACHES AS WELL AS
LONG SHORE CURRENTS. BY FRIDAY NIGHT SWELLS ARE EXPECTED TO
INCREASE TO 5 FEET WHERE SURF 5 TO 7 FEET WITH LOCAL SETS TO
8 FEET COULD BE POSSIBLE. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE THAT THE BEACH
HAZARDS STATEMENT MIGHT NEED TO BE UPGRADED TO A HIGH SURF
ADVISORY FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING FOR SOUTH FACING
BEACHES...INCLUDING ZUMA...MALIBU...CABRILLO BEACHES AS WELL AS
SOUTH FACING BEACHES ACROSS SOUTHERN VENTURA COUNTY.

SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
1245 AM PDT THU AUG 21 2014

...UPDATED MARINE AND BEACH HAZARDS DISCUSSIONS...

.SYNOPSIS...

SOME LINGERING MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
MOUNTAIN AND DESERT THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...EXPECT
A SLIGHT COOLING TREND FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH CONTINUED
COASTAL LOW CLOUDS AND FOG. FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...HIGH PRESSURE IS
EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE AREA...BRINGING WARMER CONDITIONS AND
LIMITED COASTAL STRATUS.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-SAT)...OVERALL...00Z MODELS IN GOOD SYNOPTIC
AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT UPPER LEVELS...LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TODAY
AND INTO THE 4-CORNERS AREA TONIGHT...WITH WEAK CYCLONIC FLOW
REMAINING OVER THE AREA FRIDAY/SATURDAY. NEAR THE SURFACE...A
MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE...STRENGTHENING A BIT BY
FRIDAY/SATURDAY.

FORECAST-WISE...THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN SHOULD BE RATHER
UNREMARKABLE. MODELS INDICATE SOME REMNANT MID-LEVEL MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY OVER THE VENTURA/LA MOUNTAINS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. SO...AN ISOLATED SHOWER/TSTM CANNOT BE RULED OUT
SO WILL CONTINUE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THOSE AREAS WITH THE
MORNING FORECAST.

OTHERWISE...THE PATTERN THROUGH SATURDAY WILL BE DICTATED BY THE
INFLUENCE OF THE MARINE LAYER STRATUS. STRATUS HAVING A HARD TIME
GETTING ESTABLISHED THIS MORNING...AND SKIES COULD START OUT A LOT
MORE SUNNY ACROSS COASTAL/VALLEY AREAS THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. FOR
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...THE CONTINUED ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD HELP
GET THE MARINE STRATUS ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAIN AND
LOCALLY INTO THE COASTAL VALLEYS (ESPECIALLY BY SATURDAY MORNING).
WITH THE INVERSION REMAINING ON THE WEAK SIDE...ANY STRATUS THAT
DEVELOPS DURING THE NIGHT/MORNING HOURS SHOULD DISSIPATE NICELY EACH
AFTERNOON.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...EXPECT ONLY MINOR FLUCTUATIONS FROM TODAY
THROUGH SATURDAY. FOR COASTAL/VALLEY AREAS...TODAY SHOULD BE A FEW
DEGREES WARMER DUE TO LESS MARINE LAYER INFLUENCE...BUT A SLIGHT
COOLING TREND IS ANTICIPATED FRIDAY/SATURDAY DUE TO ANTICIPATED
INCREASE IN STRATUS COVERAGE. FOR INLAND AREAS...TODAY SHOULD BE
SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER...WITH NEAR PERSISTENCE/VERY SLIGHT COOLING
FOR FRIDAY/SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...FOR EXTENDED...MODELS SHOW SOME SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES WHICH RESULT IN A RATHER LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST. AT
UPPER LEVELS...BOTH THE GFS/ECMWF NOSE IN A RIDGE FROM THE SOUTHEAST
ON SUNDAY. HOWEVER...FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE MODELS
DIVERGE NOTICEABLY. THE GFS MAINTAINS ITS PREVIOUS THINKING OF A
EASTERN PACIFIC RIDGE SHIFTING EASTWARD OVER THE DISTRICT. THE ECMWF
ON THE OTHER HAND DROPS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SOUTH ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. THIS NEW ECMWF SOLUTION IS VASTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE 12Z
RUN (WHICH MATCHED UP WELL WITH THE CONSISTENT GFS SOLUTIONS). SO
WILL DISCOUNT THIS NEW ECMWF SOLUTION FOR NOW.

FORECAST-WISE...THE IDEA OF A BUILDING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL MEAN A
WARMING TREND FOR ALL AREAS THROUGH THE PERIOD. AS FOR SKY
CONDITION...WILL EXPECT GENERALLY MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH ANY
STRATUS/FOG LIKELY CONFINED TO THE COASTAL PLAIN. THERE COULD BE
SOME INCREASE IN MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS EARLY NEXT WEEK FROM THE
VARIOUS TROPICAL SYSTEMS IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC...BUT NOT CONFIDENT
ENOUGH IN ANY MODEL SOLUTION TO INCLUDE ANY MENTION IN THE MORNING
FORECAST PACKAGE AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...21/1240Z...

N OF POINT CONCEPTION...
LOW CONFIDENCE WITH 12Z TAFS. CIGS DID NOT MATERIALIZE THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT WERE APPROACHING THE CENTRAL COAST THIS
MORNING. THERE IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE THAT LIFR/IFR CIGS WILL AFFECT
KSBP/KSMX THROUGH 16Z. LITTLE BETTER CONFIDENCE THAT LIFR CIGS WILL
REDEVELOP AFTER 05-07Z TONIGHT. 20 PERCENT CHANCE THAT KPRB WILL GET
IFR CIGS BETWEEN 14-16Z.

S OF POINT CONCEPTION...MODERATE CONFIDENCE FOR SBA/VTU COUNTIES FOR
VFR CONDS THIS MORNING. KLAX WILL EXPERIENCE MVFR CONDS THROUGH 16Z
THIS MORNING...AND LONG BEACH SHOULD ALSO HAVE MVFR CIGS BY 14Z FOR
A FEW HOURS. LOW CONFIDENCE FOR TIMING OF STRATUS TO REDEVELOP
OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. 40 PERCENT CHANCE THAT HIGH IFR OR
LOW MVFR CIGS WILL DEVELOP +/- 2 HOURS FROM CURRENT TAF TIME.

KLAX...MODERATE CONFIDENCE THAT MVFR CIGS WILL SCOUR OUT AT 16Z GIVE
OR TAKE AN HOUR. LOWER CONFIDENCE FOR HIGH IFR/LOW MVFR CIGS TO
REDEVELOP AT 08Z. CIGS COULD DELAY A FEW HOURS BEFORE DEVELOPING.

KBUR...HIGH CONFIDENCE WITH VFR CONDS. 20 PERCENT CHANCE FOR
IFR/LIFR CONDS AFTER 11Z FRI MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...21/300 AM...

NO SIGNIFICANT WIND ISSUES ANTICIPATED ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

THERE WILL BE AN INCREASING 4 TO 5 FT SOUTHERLY SWELL THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND WITH A MODERATE PERIOD OF 12 SECONDS THANKS TO TROPICAL
STORM LOWELL. AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE MODELS ARE INDICATING
ANOTHER TROPICAL DISTURBANCE JUST WEST OF CENTRAL AMERICA TO
STRENGTHEN AND POSSIBLY DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION...WITH
FURTHER STRENGTHENING EXPECTED AS IT APPROACHES BAJA CALIFORNIA. A
FEW LONG RANGE MODELS LOOK TO KEEP IT NEAR BAJA CALIFORNIA AS IT
TRACKS TO THE NORTH. THERE COULD BE ANOTHER INCREASE TO THE
SOUTHERLY SWELL WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.BEACH HAZARDS...21/230 AM...

A BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED VALID FROM 9 AM TODAY
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. TROPICAL STORM LOWELL WILL BE SENDING A 4
TO 5 FOOT SOUTHERLY SWELL WITH A MODERATE 12 SECOND PERIOD ACROSS
THE COASTAL WATERS AFFECTING SOUTH FACING BEACHES WITH DANGEROUS RIP
CURRENTS EXPECTED. THERE WILL BE ELEVATED SURF BY FRIDAY EVENING
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING WITH SETS 4 TO 7 FEET POSSIBLE. THERE WILL
BE A CHANCE THAT THE BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT MIGHT NEED TO BE
UPGRADED TO A HIGH SURF ADVISORY BY SATURDAY MORNING IF SURF
INCREASES SLIGHTLY WITH SETS TO 8 FEET. BEACHES MOST SUSCEPTIBLE
TO DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL BE ZUMA...MALIBU...CABRILLO BEACHES
AS WELL AS SOUTHERN VENTURA COUNTY BEACHES. STRONG RIP CURRENTS AND
LONGSHORE CURRENTS WILL CREATE DANGEROUS SWIMMING
CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY FOR INEXPERIENCED SWIMMERS.
