SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
200 PM PDT FRI JUN 27 2014

.SYNOPSIS...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVERHEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BRINGING
WARMER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA. THERE WILL BE SOME GUSTY NORTHWEST
WINDS TONIGHT AND AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT. THE WARM TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WITH LOW CLOUDS AND FOG
REMAINING GENERALLY CONFINED TO THE COASTAL PLAIN THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MON)...OVERALL...12Z MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN. AT UPPER LEVELS...RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY
BUILD OVER THE AREA THROUGH MONDAY. NEAR THE SURFACE...A GENERAL
WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY.

MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE WINDS. LAST EVENING/THIS
MORNING...ADVISORY-LEVEL WINDS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE SANTA YNEZ RANGE
AND EVEN IN SOME ISOLATED SPOTS THROUGH THE INTERSTATE 5 CORRIDOR.
CURRENTLY...NORTHERLY GRADIENTS ARE STRONGER OFFSHORE THAN YESTERDAY
AND ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THROUGH THIS EVENING. SO
WILL ANTICIPATE ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGH
THE NORTH WIND-PRONE AREAS. THIS MATCHES UP WELL WITH LOCAL HIGH
RESOLUTION MODELS WHICH INDICATE STRONGER NORTHERLY WINDS. THEREFORE
WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE SANTA YNEZ RANGE AND THE
INTERSTATE 5 CORRIDOR WITH THE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE (FROM 600
PM THIS EVENING THRU 600 AM SATURDAY MORNING). WILL ANTICIPATE GUSTS
BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH IN THE WINDIER SPOTS (ALTHOUGH WHITAKER PEAK
WILL LIKELY BE NOTICEABLY HIGHER). FOR SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING...WILL LIKELY BE ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY NORTHWEST
WINDS...BUT SHOULD BE A BIT WEAKER THAN TONIGHT.

OTHERWISE...THE SHORT TERM IS VERY BLAND. WITH THE NORTHERLY FLOW
TONIGHT...WILL EXPECT MARINE LAYER STRATUS TO REMAIN CONFINED TO LOS
ANGELES COUNTY AND THE CENTRAL COAST (WHERE SOME DENSE FOG WILL BE
LIKELY). FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND...THE RIDGE BUILDING OVERHEAD
WILL HELP TO SQUASH THE MARINE INVERSION...KEEPING STRATUS GENERALLY
CONFINED TO THE COASTAL PLAIN...WITH THE STRATUS LIKELY TO GRADUALLY
CREEP UP TO VENTURA AND SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES. SHOULD BE
GOOD DISSIPATION OF STRATUS EACH AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...SKIES
SHOULD REMAIN CLEAR THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...THE BUILDING UPPER RIDGE AND LESS MARINE
INFLUENCE WILL RESULT IN A WARMING TREND FOR ALL AREAS. IN FACT BY
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MOST AREAS SHOULD BE AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE
SEASONAL NORMALS.

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...FOR THE EXTENDED...MODELS CONTINUE TO REMAIN
IN DECENT SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT UPPER LEVELS
THE RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA ON TUESDAY...THEN WILL BE
SHUNTED SLOWLY EASTWARD WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS A TROUGH
DEVELOPS OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC. NEAR THE SURFACE...VARYING
DEGREES OF WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE.

FORECAST-WISE...NO MAJOR EXCITEMENT THROUGH THE EXTENDED. WITH H5
HEIGHTS REMAINING RATHER HIGH THROUGH THE WEEK...WILL ANTICIPATE THE
MARINE LAYER STRATUS TO MAINLY REMAIN CONFINED TO THE COASTAL PLAIN.
HOWEVER...THE DAY-TO-DAY FLUCTUATIONS IN THE STRATUS COVERAGE WILL
LIKELY CAUSE FORECASTER ANNOYANCE FROM EACH DAY. AS FOR TEMPERATURES
IT WILL REMAIN WARM THROUGH THE WEEK...WITH MINOR FLUCTUATIONS FROM
DAY TO DAY. HOWEVER...AT THIS TIME...WOULD ANTICIPATE TUESDAY TO
BE THE WARMEST DAY...WITH VERY MODEST COOLING WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY
THEN MAYBE A BIT OF WARMING ON FRIDAY. OVERALL...JUST VERY TYPICAL
EARLY SUMMER WEATHER FOR THE DISTRICT.

&&

.AVIATION...27/1700Z...
MARINE LAYER DEPTH RANGED FROM AROUND 1200 FEET NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION
TO OVER 3000 FEET ACROSS THE LA BASIN. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL LIKELY SHRINK MARINE LAYER DEPTH OVER 1000 FEET ACROSS LA BASIN
OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...CONTINUED STRONG ONSHORE FLOW AND EDDY CIRCULATION
WILL LIKELY BRING MVFR CIGS INTO KLAX...KLGB...KBUR...AND KVNY LATER
TONIGHT. 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS AT KBUR AND KVNY.
ALSO A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF MVFR CIGS REACHING KOXR AND KSBA ON
SATURDAY MORNING. SOME GUSTY WINDS ACROSS PASSES AND CANYONS OF SANTA
BARBARA SOUTH COAST WILL LIKELY BRING LLWS AND MODERATE UDDFS TO
VICINITY OF KSBA BETWEEN 01-08Z.

KLAX...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN 18Z TAF... WITH THE REDUCED CONFIDENCE DUE TO
THE UNCERTAINTY REGARDS THE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF THE MARINE
LAYER.  WHILE LOW CLOUDS EXPECTED TO BURN OFF THIS AFTERNOON...STILL
A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF CIGS LINGERING. MVFR CIGS LIKELY TO RETURN
SOMETIME AFTER 08Z.

KBUR...
MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN 18Z TAF...WITH THE REDUCED CONFIDENCE DUE TO
THE UNCERTAINTY REGARDS WHETHER THE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF THE
MARINE LAYER.  LOW CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING HOWEVER MVFR
CIGS LIKELY TO RETURN LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...WITH
A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS.

STRENGTH OVER THE WATERS NW OF SAN NICOLAS ISLAND. SCA WINDS WILL
