SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
135 PM PDT TUE APR 14 2015

.SYNOPSIS...

GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS TODAY WILL TURN NORTHEASTERLY BY TOMORROW WITH
THE STRONGEST WINDS IN THE VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY MOUNTAINS
AND SOUTHERN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL
ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY THEN ONSHORE FLOW EARLY NEXT WEEK
WILL BRING OVERNIGHT LOW CLOUDS TO COASTAL AREAS AND AN OVERALL
COOLING TREND.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-FRI)...A STRONG NW/N WIND EVENT WILL BE
TRANSITIONING TO A NORTHEAST (SANTA ANA) WIND EVENT LATER TONIGHT
AND WED, THEN CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY AFTER THE TYPICAL LATE
AFTERNOON/EVENING LULL. PREVIOUSLY ISSUED WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES
FOR THE NORTHWEST WIND TONIGHT LOOK GOOD AND WILL BE ADDING MORE
ADVISORIES/WARNINGS TO COVER THE LA/VENTURA COUNTY COAST/VALLEY/SM
MTNS SANTA ANA WIND EVENT WED/THU. EARLIER MODELS HAD SHOWN THE
STRONGEST WINDS ON THU, BUT TODAY'S RUNS CHANGED THAT TO WED, BUT
NOT ALL THAT MUCH WEAKER THU. EITHER WAY, A WINDY COUPLE OF DAYS
COMING UP THROUGH THU. SOME LINGERING SANTA ANAS FRIDAY MORNING BUT
PROBABLY NOT ADVISORY LEVEL.

TEMPS WILL BE MAKING A BIG JUMP FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK.
WARMEST DAY FOR COAST PROBABLY WILL BE THU WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO
HIGH 80S. RECORDS THU ARE IN THAT RANGE AS WELL SO WE COULD SEE SOME
RECORDS BROKEN AT THE COAST, BUT RECORDS ARE PROBABLY TOO HIGH FOR
THE VALLEYS.

FOR THE VALLEYS, MTNS, AND DESERTS CONTINUED WARMING FRIDAY, THOUGH
RECORDS THEN ARE IN THE MID TO HIGH 90S SO THAT'S PROBABLY OUT OF
REACH FOR MOST PLACES. COASTAL AREAS WILL START TO SEE A BIT OF
COOLING FRIDAY AS GRADIENTS START TO TREND ONSHORE BUT STILL WELL
ABOVE NORMAL.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...WARMING TREND TO CONTINUE FOR MTNS AND
DESERTS THROUGH THE WEEKEND, BUT A WEAKENING RIDGE AND ONSHORE
TRENDS SHOULD PUSH A COOLING SEA BREEZE INTO THE VALLEYS BY SATURDAY
AND MORE SO SUNDAY. TROFFING DEVELOPING ALONG THE WEST COAST
EARLY NEXT WEEK SHOULD BRING ADDITIONAL COOLING TO ALL AREAS ALL OF
NEXT WEEK WITH HINTS OF SOME LIGHT RAIN FOR LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...14/1800Z.

AT 1706Z...THE MARINE LAYER DEPTH AT KLAX WAS 2100 FEET. THE TOP OF
THE INVERSION WAS 2800 FEET WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 13 DEGREES CELSIUS.

A DRY COLD FRONT HAS SWEPT ACROSS THE AREA AND WEAKENED THE MARINE
INVERSION ENOUGH TO SCATTER OUT THE MARINE CLOUDS FROM ALL THE TAF
SITES. VFR CONDITIONS LOOK LIKELY AT ALL TAF SITES...HOWEVER STRONG
FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT WILL CAUSE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AND STRONG
GUSTY WINDS AT MANY TAF LOCATIONS. THE ANTELOPE VALLEY TAF SITES MAY
ALSO DEAL WITH BLOWING DUST AND VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS. THE NORTH
WINDS WILL CONTINUE IN SOME LOCATIONS THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE GOING
OFFSHORE ON WEDNESDAY. MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...HOWEVER LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO PLAGUE MANY TAF LOCATIONS.

KLAX...GOOD CONFIDENCE IN 18Z TAF. THERE IS A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR.
