SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
908 AM PST SAT JAN 4 2014

.SYNOPSIS...

COOLER CONDITIONS TODAY WITH SOME ONSHORE BREEZES. SANTA ANA WINDS
WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY...BRINGING WARMER
AND DRIER CONDITIONS TO THE AREA. COOLER CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS A COUPLE WEATHER SYSTEMS MOVE ACROSS
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA INTO THE GREAT BASIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MONDAY)...OVERALL...A RATHER QUIET SATURDAY
MORNING ACROSS THE CWA. LATEST SATELLITE/SURFACE OBS INDICATE
A MID/HIGH CLOUD DECK ALONG WITH A BIT OF LOW LEVEL STRATUS/FOG.
THROUGH THE MORNING...EXPECT ANY LOW CLOUDS/FOG TO DISSIPATE AND THE
HIGH CLOUDS TO THIN OUT. SO...SHOULD BE A PARTLY CLOUDY/MOSTLY SUNNY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AS FOR TEMPERATURES TODAY...EXPECT MOST AREAS TO
BE A BIT COOLER DUE TO COOLER BOUNDARY LAYER AND WEAK ONSHORE
GRADIENTS.

QUICK LOOK AT THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM INDICATES NO MAJOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO PREVIOUS THINKING. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A DECENT SETUP
FOR A MODERATE SANTA ANA WIND FROM TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. LATEST
12Z WRF INDICATES LAX-DAG GRADIENT OF -9.2 MB SUNDAY MORNING AND
-8.1 MB ON MONDAY MORNING. AS FOR UPPER LEVEL/THERMAL SUPPORT...IT
APPEARS THAT THE HIGH-RES MODELS ARE INCREASING THINGS A BIT WITH
950 MB WINDS OF 35-45 KNOTS. SO...ALL THINGS ARE POINTING TOWARDS
ANOTHER MODERATE SANTA ANA WIND EVENT FOR VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES
COUNTIES. CURRENTLY...WIND ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT FROM TONIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...AND DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES TO THESE ADVISORIES.

OVERALL...NO MAJOR UPDATES TO THE FORECAST THIS MORNING. DID ISSUES
AN UPDATE TO REMOVE DENSE FOG ADVISORY HEADLINE AND TWEAK SOME CLOUD
WORDING.

*** LONG TERM FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ***

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY-FRIDAY)...FINDING THE LONG TERM FORECAST TO BE
A BIT PROBLEMATIC AS THE GFS AND EURO MODELS ARE NOT QUITE IN SYNC
WITH FORECAST. BOTH MODELS WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH BREAKING DOWN THE
UPPER RIDGE OFF THE EASTERN PAC BY MONDAY AS A LONG WAVE TROUGH
DEVELOPS OVER THE NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC. A CUTOFF LOW DEVELOPS OFF
THE NORTHERN CAL/OREGON BORDER TUESDAY MORNING....WHILE A WEAKER
UPPER TROUGH IS OVER THE SAME AREA. HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE
INCREASE OVER THE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY WITH COOLER TEMPS AND A
RETURN OF ONSHORE FLOW. THE UPPER DISTURBANCE IS NOW PROGGED TO MOVE
A BIT FARTHER INLAND LIKELY KEEPING MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA DRY.
HAVE LEFT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR AREAS N OF SANTA BARBARA. IF
SHOWERS DO OCCUR IT WILL BRING ONLY A FEW SPRINKLES. LA/VTU COUNTIES
SHOULD REMAIN DRY WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED.

FOR WED...THE UPPER TROUGH LINGERS OVER THE AREA WITH A VERY WEAK
SHORTWAVE PUSHING THROUGH NORTHERN CAL. HAVE KEPT PARTLY CLOUDY
SKIES OVER THE REGION...WITH SOME NIGHT THROUGH MORNING LOW CLOUDS
OVER LA/VTU COUNTIES IN THE MORNING. THERE COULD BE SOME LIGHT
SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHERN SLOPES OF THE VENTURA AND LA COUNTY MTNS
AROUND THE GRAPEVINE. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE ABOVE 6000 FT...BUT WITH
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PRECIP NOT EXPECTING TRAVEL ISSUES THROUGH THE
MOUNTAINS. BY THURSDAY...BOTH MODELS NOW SHOW BROAD NW FLOW ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA WITH NO SHORTWAVE ISSUES OR A CUTOFF LOW THAT ONCE
WAS IN EARLIER MODELS. THEREFORE...ONLY PRECIP IS NOW FOR THE
NORTHERN SLOPES OF THE LA/VTU COUNTY MTNS AND AROUND EASTERN SAN
GABRIEL MOUNTAINS...BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE A REACH AS WELL. AS FAR AS
TEMPS...BOTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL BE THE COOLEST DAYS OF THE
WEEK WITH MOST COAST AND VALLEYS ONLY REACHING THE MID 60S...WITH
COOLER CONDITIONS FOR THE INTERIOR AND MOUNTAIN AREAS.

BY FRIDAY...OFFSHORE WINDS WILL SET UP ONCE AGAIN INTO THE FOLLOWING
WEEKEND. EXPECT WARMING TEMPS ACROSS THE COAST AND COASTAL VALLEY
WITH SKIES BECOMING MOSTLY CLEAR.

&&

.AVIATION...04/1130Z...
AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS WITH IFR TO VLIFR CONDS ACROSS MOST COASTAL
SECTIONS AND THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY THIS MORNING. CONDS WERE RATHER
VARIABLE AND HAVE BEEN FLUCTUATING RATHER FREQUENTLY
OTHERWISE...SOME HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION. EXPECT CONDS TO
IMPROVE TO VFR IN MOST AREAS BY LATE MORNING...ALTHOUGH SOME CLOUDS
COULD LINGER NEAR THE BEACHES.

EXPECT IFR CONDS TO DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL COAST
AND POSSIBLE THE L.A. COUNTY COAST AND SBA COUNTY S COAST LATE
TONIGHT...BUT CONDS SHOULD IMPROVE RAPIDLY SUNDAY MORNING AS
OFFSHORE WINDS DEVELOP. GUSTY NE WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE MTNS
OF L.A. AND VTU COUNTIES TONIGHT...LIKELY SPREADING INTO THE VLYS
BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS BY LATE TONIGHT.

KLAX...LOW CONFIDENCE IN 12Z TAF. THERE IS A 20 PERCENT CHANCE THAT
VLIFR CONDS COULD IMPROVE TO IFR AS EARLY AS 13Z. THERE IS A 20 TO
30 PERCENT CHANCE THAT IFR CIGS WILL LINGER THROUGH AS LATE AS 19Z.
THERE IS A 20 TO 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF IFR CONDS BETWEEN 04Z AND 14Z
TONIGHT.

KBUR...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE 12Z TAF. THERE IS
A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF IFR CONDS BETWEEN 13Z AND 16Z THIS
MORNING.
