SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
455 AM PDT SAT APR 5 2014

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
A BUILDING UPPER HIGH WILL BRING SLIGHT WARMING TO THE REGION
TODAY...WITH MORE SIGNIFICANT WARMING ON SUNDAY. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL
CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRONG WARMING ON MONDAY...WITH TEMPERATURES WELL
ABOVE NORMAL. VERY WARM TO HOT WEATHER IS EXPECTED TUESDAY...THEN A
COOLING TREND IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS AN UPPER LOW
APPROACHES THE WEST COAST AND EVENTUALLY MOVES JUST SOUTH OF THE
REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MON)...PLENTY OF LINGERING CLOUDS ACROSS THE MTNS
AND ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS OF SLO AND SBA COUNTIES THIS
MORNING...WITH SOME CLOUDS IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY AS WELL. THERE
COULD STILL BE A FEW RAIN SHOWERS OR SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MTNS THIS
MORNING...PARTICULARLY ON NORTHERN SLOPES. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE ABOUT
5000 FEET...AND LOCAL ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF AN INCH OR
TWO ARE POSSIBLE. AN UPPER RIDGE BEGINNING TO AMPLIFY ACROSS THE
EASTERN PACIFIC WILL CAUSE HEIGHTS/THICKNESSES TO BEGIN TO RISE A
BIT ACROSS THE FCST AREA TODAY. HOWEVER ALTHOUGH MAX TEMPS WILL
LIKELY BE UP A COUPLE OF DEGREES IN MOST AREAS...THEY WILL LIKELY
STILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE.

GUSTY WINDS WERE AFFECTING LOCATIONS THROUGH AND BELOW PASSES AND
CANYONS OF THE SANTA YNEZ RANGE...AND THROUGH THE INTERSTATE 5
CORRIDOR...AND WIND ADVISORIES HAVE WORKED OUT WELL. WINDS WERE
ALREADY BEGINNING TO DROP OFF ACROSS SBA COUNTY. ALTHOUGH ADVISORY
LEVEL WINDS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR THERE AGAIN TONIGHT...WILL PROBABLY
LET THE CURRENT WIND ADVISORIES FOR SBA COUNTY EXPIRE AT 3
AM...RATHER THAN EXTEND THEM SINCE THERE WILL LIKELY BE A FAIRLY
LENGTHY GAP OF SUB ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS. ACROSS THE MTNS OF L.A. AND
VTU COUNTIES...WINDS SHOULD BE CLOSE TO ADVISORY LEVELS MUCH OF THE
DAY...THEN INCREASE AGAIN TONIGHT...SO WILL JUST EXTEND THE
ADVISORIES THERE.

STRONGER N-S GRADIENTS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT...AND SOME GUSTY WINDS
WILL LIKELY PUSH INTO THE SANTA CLARITA AND SAN FERNANDO VALLEYS AND
THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS TONIGHT. EXPECT WINDS THERE TO REMAIN
BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS. THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL TURN MORE NELY SUNDAY
MORNING AND WINDS WILL DIMINISH...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SBA COUNTY. AS
THE UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFIES OFF THE WEST COAST...HEIGHTS AND
THICKNESSES WILL RISE SIGNIFICANTLY ON SUNDAY...WITH GOOD WARMING AT
850 AND 950 MB. EXPECT A BIG JUMP IN MAX TEMPS ON SUNDAY...
ESPECIALLY W OF THE MTNS WITH MAX TEMPS RISING ABOVE 80 DEGREES IN
THE WARMER LOCATIONS IN THE VALLEYS AND INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE
COASTAL PLAIN. ENOUGH OF A MARINE INFLUENCE MAY LINGER RIGHT NEAR
THE BEACHES TO KEEP TEMPS FROM WARMING AS MUCH THERE...BUT STILL
EXPECT AT LEAST SOME WARMING.

THE UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGHTEN SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY. LOW LEVEL OFFSHORE GRADIENTS WILL INCREASE...BUT LATEST
MODELS WERE WEAKER WITH THE OFFSHORE FLOW. EXPECT GUSTY NE WINDS
ACROSS MUCH OF VTU COUNTY AND THE MTNS AND NORTHERN AND WESTERN VLYS
OF L.A. COUNTY MON MORNING...BUT AT THIS POINT...IT APPEARS THAT
WINDS MAY REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS MON MORNING. SIGNIFICANT
WARMING AT 850 MB AND 950 MB SHOULD LEAD TO STRONG WARMING IN ALL
AREAS...ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE MTNS...WHERE COMPRESSIONAL WARMING
WILL BE AN ADDED FACTOR. MAX TEMPS SHOULD RISE TO 90 DEGREES OR
POSSIBLY A BIT HIGHER IN THE WARMER VALLEY LOCATIONS...AND ACROSS
INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE COASTAL PLAIN.

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...THE UPPER HIGH WILL MOVE JUST TO THE EAST OF
THE REGION ON TUE...BUT HEIGHTS AND THICKNESSES WILL REMAIN JUST AS
HIGH AS ON MONDAY...AND TEMPS AT 950 MB ACTUALLY WARM A BIT.
GRADIENTS WILL BE OFFSHORE IN THE MORNING...AND THE 06Z WRF ACTUALLY
SHOWS OFFSHORE GRADIENTS SLIGHTLY STRONGER THAN ON MONDAY.
HOWEVER...WITH LESS IN THE WAY OF UPPER SUPPORT...SUSPECT THAT NELY
WINDS MAY BE A TOUCH WEAKER. GRADIENTS WILL BECOME NEUTRAL OF VERY
SLIGHTLY ONSHORE TUE AFTERNOON. EXPECT A COUPLE OF MORE DEGREES OF
WARMING IN MOST AREAS ON TUE...WITH HIGHS POSSIBLY REACH 95 DEGREES
IN SOME OF THE WARMER VALLEY LOCATIONS.

THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE SOME AFTER TUE. ALL MODELS SHOW AN UPPER
LOW MOVING INTO THE ERN PAC BY WED. THE GFS KNOCKS DOWN HEIGHTS
ACROSS THE REGION ON WED MUCH MORE THAN DOES THE EC...WHICH
KEEPS HEIGHTS RATHER HIGH ACROSS THE REGION AS THE RIDGE ATTEMPTS TO
HOLD FIRMLY. NO MATTER WHAT...LOWERING HEIGHTS/THICKNESSES AND A
RETURN TO ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD BRING SOME COOLING TO THE REGION ON
WED. THE AMOUNT OF COOLING IS IN QUESTION DUE TO MODEL DISAGREEMENT.
WHILE BOTH MODELS INDICATE THAT TEMPS WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL ON
WED...THE EC KEEP TEMPS WELL ABOVE NORMAL...WITH MAX TEMPS NEAR 90
DEGREES READINGS STILL POSSIBLE IN THE VLYS. THE GFS WOULD SUGGEST
HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S OR SO. BLV THE SLOWER EWD SHIFT OF THE RIDGE
SHOWN BY THE EC MAKES MORE SENSE...SO WILL LEAN A BIT MORE STRONGLY
ON IT. ON THU...THE UPPER LOW WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH THE COAST.
SOME HIGH CLOUDS WILL LIKELY MOVE INTO THE REGION ON THU...AND MAX
TEMPS WILL BE DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. THE GFS AND THE EC SHOW THE UPPER
LOW TRACKING JUST S OF THE FCST AREA VERY LATE THU NIGHT OR ON FRI.
THE POSITION LOOKS FAVORABLE TO PRODUCE SHOWER ACROSS THE
REGION...BUT ALL MODELS SHOW VERY LITTLE MOISTURE WITH IT. THAT
SEEMS KIND OF UNLIKELY...AND THAT MAY CHANGE AS THE SYSTEM BECOMES
BETTER MODELED. AT THIS POINT...WILL KEEP POPS OUT OF THE FCST...BUT
THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY.

&&

.AVIATION...05/1155Z.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD EXCEPT FOR A
CHANCE OF MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 16Z AT KPRB. 20 PERCENT CHANCE FOR
OTHER TERMINALS N OF POINT CONCEPTION. PERIODS OF MODERATE TO STRONG
LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR AND TURBULENCE ARE POSSIBLE AT KSBA THROUGH
09Z.

20 PERCENT CHANCE OF CROSS WINDS BETWEEN 7 AND 12 KNOTS BETWEEN 13Z
