SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
910 AM PDT WED SEP 17 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
IT STILL WILL BE HOT TODAY AWAY FROM THE COAST. LINGERING MID LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER
EASTERN LOS ANGELES COUNTY LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING.
AN APPROACHING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT
COOLING TREND TO THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH INCREASING
NIGHT THROUGH MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG...AND POSSIBLY SOME LOCAL
DRIZZLE. UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE MAY BRING SOME WARMING TO THE
REGION LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-FRI)...TEMPS OFF TO THE RACES AGAIN TODAY AFTER A
VERY WARM START AS OVERNIGHT TEMPS DIDN'T DROP BELOW 80 IN SOME
PLACES. GRADIENTS, THOUGH STILL 1.5MB OFFSHORE, ARE TRENDING EVER SO
SLIGHTLY ONSHORE AND EVEN THE TREND OF THE TREND IS POSITIVE MEANING
THE ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE DAY.
BASIN PROFILERS, WHILE WARMER IN THE LOWEST 500' OR SO, ARE SHOWING
A COOLING TREND ALOFT WHICH IS A GOOD SIGN. SO WHEN ALL IS SAID AND
DONE THIS AFTERNOON MOST AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE ORDER OF 3-6 DEGREES
COOLER THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY. STILL HOT, BUT NOT QUITE AS HOT,
AND PROBABLY NO THREAT TO RECORDS. THE ONE EXCEPTION TO THAT MAY BE
SANTA BARBARA AIRPORT WHICH IS EXPECTED TO SEE ANOTHER SPIKE IN
AFTERNOON/EVENING TEMPS WITH A REPEAT OF SUNDOWNERS. MODELS HAVE
BEEN UNDERDOING THE GRADIENT AND NORTHERLY FLOW EACH OF THE LAST FEW
NIGHTS AND PROBABLY IS AGAIN FOR THIS EVENING. SO WILL LIKELY BE
PUTTING OUT ANOTHER WIND ADVISORY FOR SRN SBA COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH TEMPS CLIMBING INTO HIGH 80S AND POSSIBLY LOW TO
MID 90S IN THE WARMEST SPOTS.

THUNDERSTORM THREAT LOOKS TO BE LESS THAN YESTERDAY. MODELS ARE
NOTICABLY LESS IMPRESSIVE WITH STABILITY PARAMETERS TODAY THAN
YESTERDAY, AND WHILE 850 DEWPOINTS ARE STILL IN THAT 10-12 RANGE
ACROSS EASTERN LA COUNTY, THE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS JUST AREN'T
IDEAL. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW A DECENT INVERSION RIGHT AROUND 15000'
WHICH WILL CUT DOWN ON THE AVAILABLE ENERGY AND LIKELY STALL
DEVELOPMENT. LI'S STAY ABOVE ZERO THROUGH THE DAY. K INDICES ARE
ONLY IN THE MID 30S AFTER BEING IN THE LOW 40S YESTERDAY. AND
STEERING FLOW TODAY HAS SHIFTED TO THE WEST WHICH MEANS WE'RE
PULLING IN DRIER AIR FROM THE TROF TO THE WEST. SO WHILE THERE IS
STILL A CHANCE OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND EVEN AN ISOLATED STORM
OR TWO, I THINK THE CHANCES FOR ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT IS VERY SMALL
AND CONFINED TO EASTERN LA COUNTY. FOR NOW WILL LEAVE UP THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH BUT WILL MONITOR DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS
AND EVALUATE WHETHER ONE IS STILL NEEDED.

***FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION***

AN UPPER LOW WILL APPROACH THE NRN CA COAST TONIGHT AND THU...WITH
A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD TO WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. SWLY FLOW
ALOFT WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING...SHUNTING ANY MID
LEVEL MOISTURE AND CONVECTION EAST OF THE AREA. LOW LEVEL N-S
GRADIENTS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR SOME GUSTY N WINDS THRU AND
BELOW PASSES AND CANYONS OF THE SANTA YNEZ RANGE AND THE ADJACENT S
COAST OF SBA COUNTY...AND WINDS COULD GET CLOSE TO ADVISORY LEVELS
ONCE AGAIN. NIGHT THROUGH MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL BECOME
WIDESPREAD IN COASTAL AREAS TONIGHT...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE S
COAST OF SBA COUNTY...WHERE NLY FLOW WILL LIKELY KEEP SKIES MOSTLY
CLEAR. SOME STRATUS COULD EVEN PUSH INTO THE LOWER VALLEY LOCATIONS
FOR A FEW HOURS THU MORNING. WITH GOOD ONSHORE GRADIENTS...SKIES MAY
HAVE A TOUGH TIME CLEARING NEAR THE COAST ON THU...ESPECIALLY N OF
PT CONCEPTION...WHERE THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDS
ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAKENING SFC FRONT. AT THIS POINT...DO NOT EXPECT
ANYTHING MORE THAN A FEW SPRINKLES WITH THE DYING FRONT ACROSS
NORTHERN SECTIONS. WITH CONSIDERABLE HEIGHT FALLS AND INCREASING
ONSHORE FLOW...EXPECT SIGNIFICANT COOLING ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA ON
THU...ESPECIALLY IN THE VLYS...WHERE MAX TEMPS MAY BE DOWN MORE
THAN 15 DEGREES FROM THOSE REACHED TODAY IN SOME AREAS.

ALL MODELS SHOW THE UPPER LOW DROPPING DOWN THE COAST OF CA THU
NIGHT AND FRI MORNING...REACHING A POSITION NEAR POINT CONCEPTION
FRI AFTERNOON. EXPECT A RATHER DEEP MARINE LAYER THU NIGHT/FRI
MORNING...WITH CLOUDS POSSIBLY UP TO THE COASTAL SLOPES.  THERE
COULD BE SOME DRIZZLE OR EVEN A LITTLE LIGHT RAIN FRI MORNING...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS OF L.A. COUNTY AS SOME LOW LEVEL
LIFT DEVELOPS IN THE INCREASINGLY CYCLONIC FLOW. THERE MAY BE ONLY
PARTIAL CLEARING ON FRIDAY. MAX TEMPS WILL BE DOWN A FEW MORE
DEGREES IN MOST AREAS...DOWN TO BELOW NORMAL LEVELS IN MOST AREAS
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 4TH OF THE MONTH.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...THE UPPER LOW WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY
NEAR POINT CONCEPTION FRI NIGHT AND SAT. EXPECT THE DEEP MARINE
LAYER TO CONTINUE...WITH PLENTY OF NIGHT THRU MORNING LOW CLOUDS IN
COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS...POSSIBLY UP TO THE COASTAL SLOPES ONCE
AGAIN. SOME DRIZZLE OR LIGHT SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE. IT WILL
BE COOL AGAIN ON SATURDAY ACROSS THE REGION. THE UPPER LOW WILL LIFT
INTO CENTRAL CA SAT NIGHT AND SUN. EXPECT BETTER CLEARING ON
SUNDAY...AND MAX TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE UP A FEW DEGREES IN MOST
AREAS. AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION ON MONDAY...WITH
ADDITIONAL WARMING LIKELY...AND A REDUCTION IN NIGHT THROUGH MORNING
STRATUS. SOME ADDITIONAL WARMING IS LIKELY ON TUE AS THE RIDGE
AMPLIFIES A BIT...AND IF LOW OFFSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS...WARMING MAY BE
SIGNIFICANT.

&&

.AVIATION...17/1150Z.
N OF POINT CONCEPTION...
LOW CONFIDENCE WITH 12Z TAF AS KSMX/KSBP REMAIN CLEAR BUT COULD GO
LIFR BETWEEN 13Z AND 16Z. 50 PERCENT CHANCE FOR LIFR CONDS FOR
CENTRAL COAST BETWEEN 13Z-16Z. HIGH CONFIDENCE WITH 12Z KPRB TAF.

S OF POINT CONCEPTION...
HIGH CONFIDENCE WITH 12Z TAF THROUGH 04Z THIS EVENING FOR VFR CONDS.
LOWER CONFIDENCE FOR RETURN OF STRATUS AFTER 04Z AS IFR CIGS WILL BE
LIKELY FOR COASTAL AREAS OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES. LESS
LIKELY FOR KSBA DUE TO SUNDOWNER WINDS BETWEEN 22Z-07Z. BUT 30
PERCENT CHANCE FOR IFR CIGS AFTER 10Z THU MORNING AT KSBA.

KLAX...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE 12Z TAF. THERE IS 10 PERCENT CHANCE OF
IFR CONDS BETWEEN 12Z AND 15Z.

KBUR...VERY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE 12Z TAF WITH VFR CONDITIONS THRU
THE NEXT 24 HOUR PERIOD.

HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CURRENT MARINE FORECAST. ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE OUTER WATERS THROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK.  THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE NEAR POINT CONCEPTION DURING THE MID

THE WESTERN HALF OF THE SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL WILL HAVE LOCAL
NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS TO 25 TO 35 KT DURING THE NEXT FEW LATE
AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS RELATED TO SUNDOWNER WINDS OFF THE SANTA
BARBARA COUNTY SOUTH COAST.  MAY NEED AN ADVISORY AGAIN THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING IF IT DEVELOPS BEYOND A LOCAL EVENT.

&&
