SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
855 AM PST WED DEC 2 2015

.SYNOPSIS...

SEASONABLY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TODAY. A TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY BRINGING
INCREASING CLOUDS... A BRIEF COOL DOWN... AND THE CHANCE OF LIGHT
SHOWERS NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION. GENERALLY WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS
WILL RETURN THIS WEEKEND AND REMAIN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-FRI)...

*** MID MORNING DISCUSSION UPDATE ***

MORNING TEMPERATURES ARE ALREADY RUNNING A FEW DEGREES WARMER THIS
MORNING IN COMPARISON TO YESTERDAY.  HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE MOVING OVER
THE REGION FOR MOST OF THE DAY BUT MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING TROUGH WILL KEEP US ON TRACK FOR TODAY TO BE THE
WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK.  THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST ALSO LOOKS
GOOD WITH LESSENING CHANCES OF NOTABLE RAIN ON THURSDAY OR IN THE
NEXT WEEK IN GENERAL.  WILL BE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT
SITUATION AND AT POSSIBLE WINDS TOMORROW WITH THE TROUGH PASSAGE BUT
AM NOT ANTICIPATING ANY NOTABLE CHANGES TO THE CURRENT PACKAGE.

*** EARLY MORNING DISCUSSION ***

THERE IS A 576 MB RIDGE OVERHEAD. AT THE SFC THERE IS BETWEEN 3 AND
4 MB OF AN OFFSHORE PUSH FROM BOTH THE N AND E. THERE WILL BE SOME
NE CANYON WINDS THIS MORNING BUT WITH NO UPPER SUPPORT THERE WILL
JUST BE LOCAL GUSTS TO 35 MPH AND NO ADVISORIES WILL BE NEEDED.
THERE ARE SOME HIGH CLOUDS MOVING IN FROM THE WEST SO IT WILL BE
PARTLY CLOUDY ALTHOUGH THERE ARE ENOUGH BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS SO IT
WILL BE TOTALLY SUNNY AT TIMES. MAX TEMPS WILL BE 4 TO 8 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL.

A TROF WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY. IT IS A PRETTY WEAK TROF
AND WILL ONLY BRING PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND COOLER CONDITIONS TO
AREAS SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION. A DYING FRONT WILL WASH OUT OVER
THE CENTRAL COAST WHERE SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY AND THERE WILL
BE A SLIGHT CHC OF LIGHT RAIN. RAINFALL AMOUNTS...IF ANY...WILL FOR
SURE BE UNDER A QUARTER INCH AND MUCH MORE LIKELY UNDER A TENTH.
THERE WILL BE A MARKED COOL DOWN ACROSS SLO AND SBA COUNTIES.

NORTH FLOW SETS UP AFTER THE TROF AND IT WILL CREATE UPSLOPE CLOUDS
ALONG WITH A CHC OF SHOWERS ON THE NORTH SLOPES THURSDAY NIGHT.

COOLER BUT BUT NOT AS COOL AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT DUE TO THE WEAKNESS
OF THE FRONT. STILL ENOUGH COOL AIR ADVECTION TO COMBINE WITH THE NW
PUSH BEHIND THE FRONT TO MAKE FOR BREEZY POSSIBLE ADVISORY LEVEL
WINDS IN THE MTNS. FRIDAY WILL BE THE COOLEST OF THE NEXT 7 WITH MAX
TEMPS A COUPLE DEGREES BLO NORMAL.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)... RIDGING WILL BUILD IN AGAIN ON SATURDAY
ALONG WITH OFFSHORE FLOW FROM A 1034 MB SFC HIGH OVER THE NV/UT
BORDER. LOOK FOR SOME CANYON WINDS IN THE MORNING BUT LIKELY NOT
ADVISORY LEVEL. MAX TEMPS WILL JUMP ABOUT 8 DEGREES ACROSS THE
COASTS AND VLYS AND WILL BE ABOUT 6 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.

THE RIDGE WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST ON SUNDAY AND SW ZONAL FLOW WILL
SET UP OVERHEAD. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE ON THE SFC. MORNING
TEMPS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN ON SATURDAY AND WITH THE
CONTINUED OFFSHORE FLOW MAX TEMPS WILL LIKELY RISE ANOTHER DEGREE OR
TWO.

AT ONE TIME THERE WAS A LITTLE FRONT FORECAST FOR MONDAY BUT THAT
IDEA HAS LONG SINCE PASSED AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE WEAK RIDGING WILL
BE ON TAP FOR MON AND TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR OR AT
WORST PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. A LITTLE LESS IN THE WAY OFFSHORE FLOW SO
MAX TEMPS WILL COOL SOME.

IF ONE BELIEVES IN THE DAY 10 FORECAST (AND IF YOU DO I HAVE A NICE
BRIDGE TO SELL YOU) THERE WILL BE A PATTERN SHIFT THAT WILL ALLOW
A WETTER PATTERN TO DEVELOP LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...02/18Z.

AT 17Z...THERE WAS NO MARINE LAYER INVERSION AT KLAX.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD EXCEPT FOR A
CHANCE OF VLIFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS AT CENTRAL COAST TERMINALS
BETWEEN 08Z AND 16Z.

KLAX...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. ANY EAST
WINDS SHOULD REMAIN LESS THAN 7 KNOTS.

KBUR...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. NO WIND
ISSUES ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

&&

.MARINE...02/900 AM

WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS EXCEPT FOR LOCAL
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WITH LOCALLY CHOPPY SEAS NEAR SHORE
BETWEEN VENTURA AND PACIFIC PALISADES. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS
AND CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS BEHIND A
DECAYING COLD FRONT. THERE IS A 40 PERCENT CHANCE THAT SMALL CRAFT
CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP ACROSS THE NEAR SHORE AND INNER WATERS
BETWEEN THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.FIRE...02/17Z

WEAK RIDGING OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT COMBINED WITH COLD AIR OVER THE
GREAT BASIN WILL MAINTAIN THE DRY AIR MASS AND OCCASIONALLY BREEZY
OFFSHORE FLOW THROUGH THURSDAY. AREAS OF NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS
BETWEEN 20 AND 35 MPH ARE EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY. THERE
WILL BE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN OFFSHORE WINDS TODAY. MEANWHILE...
MINIMUM HUMIDITIES WILL GENERALLY RANGE BETWEEN 6 AND 12 PERCENT
TODAY...AND 8 TO 15 PERCENT ON THURSDAY. OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES WILL
REMAIN POOR OVER THE MOUNTAIN AND FOOTHILLS...AS WELL AS THE WINDIER
VALLEYS...WITH HUMIDITIES LIKELY REAMINING IN THE 15 TO 25 PERCENT
RANGE. RED FLAG WARNINGS ARE NOT EXPECTED...BUT BRIEF AND ISOLATED
CRITICAL CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN AN ELEVATED FIRE DANGER.

A WEAK SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA LATE THURSDAY AND MAY BRING
SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION TO SANTA BARBARA AND SAN LUIS OBISPO
COUNTIES. BREEZY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS MAY FORM IN THE MOUNTAINS
WITH THIS SYSTEM WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH POSSIBLE. LINGERING DRY AIR
WILL MAINTAIN ELEVATED FIRE RISKS FOR THE LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA
COUNTY MOUNTAINS THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH VERY DRY AIR.
