SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
1250 PM PST MON FEB 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...

TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL THIS WEEK DUE TO GUSTY
SANTA ANA WINDS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE
INTO THE WEEKEND BEFORE THE HIGH WEAKENS ON SUNDAY FOR COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND MORE CLOUDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-THU)...DRY, WARM, OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BE THE MAIN
STORY THIS WEEK. WE'LL START OUT WITH AN EVENING OF SUNDOWNERS
ACROSS SRN SBA COUNTY TONIGHT, PROBABLY LOW END WIND ADVISORY
LEVELS. THEN TUE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO NORTHEAST AND PEAK IN STRENGTH
WED INTO EARLY THU ACROSS VENTURA AND LA COUNTIES. CERTAINLY LOOKS
WIND ADVISORY-WORTHY DOWN HERE, POSSIBLY APPROACHING WARNING LEVEL
GUSTS UP IN THE FAVORED MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS SO WILL TAKE A CLOSER
LOOK AT THAT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE MODEL RUNS. THIS WILL BE A WARM
SANTA ANA EVENT WITH HIGHS WARMING UP SEVERAL DEGREES TUESDAY AND
AGAIN WED, REACHING THE MID AND POSSIBLY EVEN UPPER 80S WED AND THU
ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF THE VENTURA/LA COAST AND VALLEYS. THOSE
NUMBERS WILL PUT US AT LEAST CLOSE TO RECORD TERRITORY, MOST OF
WHICH IN THE 88-91 RANGE.

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...WARM, BREEZY WEATHER TO CONTINUE THROUGH
SATURDAY, THOUGH LIKELY BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS BY THAT TIME. LITTLE
CHANGE IN TEMPS OR EVEN SLIGHTLY WARMER INLAND SATURDAY, THOUGH WE
WILL PROBABLY SEE SOME COASTAL COOLING WITH AN EARLIER SEA BREEZE
ARRIVAL. THE UPPER LOW THAT BRINGS US THE SANTA ANA WINDS THIS WEEK
IS EXPECTED TO CROSS BACK INTO CALIFORNIA FROM MEXICO SUNDAY AND
INTO ARIZONA ON MONDAY. MODELS CURRENTLY BRING UP A LOT OF MID AND
HIGH MOISTURE INTO MAINLY LA/VENTURA COUNTIES SUNDAY BUT KEEP ALL
THE LOWER MOISTURE WELL SOUTH AND EAST OF LA COUNTY. SO FOR NOW
WE'RE CALLING FOR LOTS OF CLOUDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR
FORCAST AREA (MAINLY SOUTH OF SBA COUNTY) SUNDAY AND COOLER TEMPS
EVERYWHERE AS GRADIENTS SHIFT TO ONSHORE BUT NO PRECIPITATION. THEN
WEAK RIDGING RETURNING FOR NEXT MONDAY BUT LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPS.
LOOKING A LITTLE FURTHER OUT, SOME EARLIER RUNS OF THE GFS HAD SHOWN
SOME HOPE FOR A RETURN TO RAINY WEATHER BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK,
HOWEVER THE 12Z RUN HAS SHIFTED THE MOISTURE MUCH FARTHER NORTH AND
IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE DRIER ECMWF SOLUTIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...09/1800Z.

AT 1636Z...THE MARINE INVERSION IS NOW RATHER WEAK AND DIFFICULT TO
PICK OUT.

BETTER CONFIDENCE IN THE AVIATION PACKAGE AS SKIES HAVE FINALLY
CLEARED OUT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THERE IS GOOD CONFIDENCE IN
VFR CONDITIONS WITH OCCASIONAL BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR TODAY. DENSE
FOG IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO KPRB OVERNIGHT. THERE IS LOWER
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE SOUTH COAST TONIGHT REGARDING
WHETHER LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WILL RETURN TO KLAX AND KLGB.

KLAX...LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE RETURN OF LOW CLOUDS TONIGHT. THERE IS
A 40 PERCENT CHANCE OF VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NIGHT.

KBUR...GOOD CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TUESDAY. THERE IS A
20 PERCENT CHANCE OF IFR CONDITIONS LATE TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...09/900 AM.
MANY CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE MARINE FORECAST. A GALE WARNING WAS
ISSUED FOR 673 AND 676 DUE TO THE NAM12 FORECAST FOR 30 AGL WIND
SPEEDS. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WAS KEPT IN PLACE FOR ZONE 670 AND
THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
ZONE 645. FOR THE INNER WATERS...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WAS ISSUED
FOR WINDS IN ZONE 650 AND THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS
SEAS WAS DROPPED FOR ZONE 655 BECAUSE THE SWELLS ARE NOT LIKELY TO
REACH 10 FEET. SEE LAXCWFLOX FOR MORE INFORMATION.
