SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
950 AM PST FRI JAN 1 2016

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
MODERATE OFFSHORE WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. A
STORMY WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED NEXT WEEK AS A SERIES OF FRONTAL
SYSTEMS WILL BRING INCREASED CLOUD COVERAGE WITH RAIN AND MOUNTAIN
SNOW POSSIBLE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL OF
WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME
THIS SEASON WITHIN THE TUESDAY TO THURSDAY TIME FRAME.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-SUN)...VERY CHILLY MORNING ACROSS WIND SHELTERED
LOCATIONS AS COLD OFFSHORE FLOW PATTERN DOMINATES WEATHER PATTERN
TODAY. LANCASTER AND PALMDALE REPORTED LOWS OF 14 AND 18 DEGREES RESPECTIVELY
WHILE OJAI CAME IN AT 25 DEGREES. AS FAR AS WINDS ARE CONCERNED...SEEING
A FEW LOCATIONS REACHING MINIMAL WIND ADVISORY THRESHOLDS THIS MORNING.
LAX-DAGGETT GRADIENT HAS ONLY PEAKED AT -4.8 MB THIS MORNING, ABOUT 1 MB WEAKER
THAN NAM HAD PROJECTED FOR THIS MORNING. ALSO COLD AIR ADVECTION AND UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT SLIGHTLY WEAKER THAN EXPECTED. WITH THAT BEING SAID...SHOULD BE ABLE TO
SEE SOME MINIMAL WIND ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS FOR NEXT FEW HOURS...THEN DIMINISH
THIS AFTERNOON. ANOTHER FAIRLY COOL DAY ACROSS THE REGION WITH MOST COASTAL AND
VALLEY AREAS CLIMBING INTO THE LOWER TO MID 60S...INCLUDING THE PASADENA AREA.
FOR THE ANTELOPE VALLEY...HIGHS WILL ONLY BE IN THE 40S TODAY DUE TO THE COLD
AIR ADVECTION FROM THE NORTHEAST FLOW.

12Z MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW INFLUX OF HIGHER LEVEL CLOUDS NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...WITH
OUR FIRST STORM'S MAIN ENERGY STILL EXPECTED TO SKIRT SOUTH OF THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY MORNING. CURRENT 30-50 PERCENT POPS STILL SEEM REASONABLE FOR THIS
FIRST SYSTEM WITH RAIN BECOMING MORE LIKELY AS WE MOVE INTO THE
TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME.

*** FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ***

SYNOPTICALLY...A RETROGRADING UPPER LOW WAS LOCATED OVER RENO NEVADA
THIS MORNING. A REX BLOCK SET UP WILL OCCUR TODAY AS A 572 DM HIGH
WILL LINE UP ABOVE THE LOW OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA. MEANWHILE TO THE
WEST...A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO MOVE SOUTHEAST AND
DEEPEN OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST BY SATURDAY. THIS UPPER TROUGH WILL
THEN PUSH THE REX-BLOCK SET UP TO THE NORTH WHILE A CUTOFF LOW
DEVELOPS FROM THE TROUGH AND SETS UP JUST OFF THE COAST OF NOCAL
SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL HAVE LITTLE AFFECT ON OUR WEATHER SATURDAY
EXCEPT THE WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW FRIDAY NIGHT WILL TURN MORE SOUTHERLY.
SOME LOW CLOUDS DEVELOPING IS A POSSIBILITY LATE SATURDAY INTO
SATURDAY EVENING. A STRONG 989 SURFACE LOW ALSO DEVELOPS OFF THE
NOCAL COAST SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL CAUSE SOUTHERLY WINDS TO
STRENGTHEN AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING TROUGH LATE SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY. CLOUDS WILL QUICKLY DEVELOP BE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.

MODELS ARE NOW COMING TOGETHER WITH THE TIMING AND TRACK OF THE
FIRST STORM SYSTEM TO AFFECT CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. FOR
SUNDAY...THERE WILL BE VERY GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS FROM SANTA BARBARA
COUNTY NORTH AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES. THIS FRONT EXTENDS FROM
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WELL SOUTH TOWARDS BAJA. THE MAIN FRONT AXIS
WILL SWING IN TO THE COASTAL AREAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE FRONT WILL BRANCH-OFF AND MOVE FURTHER SOUTH TAKING
THE BULK OF RAIN WITH IT TOWARDS NRN BAJA. THEREFORE...NOT MUCH QPF
TOTALS WITH THE FIRST WAVE OF A SERIES OF STORMS.

.LONG TERM (MON-THU)...THERE WILL BE LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS THE
REGION THROUGH MORNING MORNING. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF LULL OF PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES ON MONDAY. THEN A SECOND...STRONGER AND MORE ORGANIZED
STORM BEGINS TO PUSH INTO THE CENTRAL COAST BY MONDAY EVENING...THEN
SPREADING ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY. THIS LOOKS
LIKE THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT TO MOVE INTO THE AREA IN A
WHILE. BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT BETWEEN 1-3 INCHES OF RAINFALL COULD
OCCUR. WHEN THE HIGHER RESOLUTION NAM MOVES INTO THE WINDOW...WE
WILL HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF HOW MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WE CAN EXPECT.
SNOW LEVELS WILL BE BETWEEN 5000 AND 6000 FT WITH THIS SECOND
SYSTEM. A THIRD SYSTEM IS POISED TO MOVE IN OVER THE REGION AS EARLY
AS THURSDAY EVENING. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE COMING MORE OUT OF THE NW
WHICH SHOULD BRING SNOW LEVELS DOWN TO THE 4000 FT LEVEL. THIS
STRONG AND COLD UPPER LOW FOLLOWS THE COASTLINE DOWN THROUGH
CALIFORNIA. THIS 3RD SYSTEM MIGHT BE THE MOST DYNAMIC IN RESPECT TO
THUNDERSTORMS. STILL TOO SOON TO JUMP ON THIS...BUT EXPECT PERIODS
OF RAIN THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK WITH COOLER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. ALSO...WITH HIGH SURF EXPECTED NEXT WEEK...THERE COULD
BE SOME POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS NEAR THE COAST. STAY TUNED.

&&

.AVIATION...01/1745Z.

AT 1700Z...THERE WAS NO MARINE INVERSION AT KLAX.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS THROUGHOUT THE
PERIOD...EXCEPT FOR IFR VSBY AT KPRB UNTIL 22Z...ALTHOUGH TIMING
MAY VARY BY +/- 1 HOUR. IFR CONDS EXPECTED AGAIN FOR THIS SITE AFTER
12Z SAT. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH EASTERLY FLOW ACROSS
THE AREA.

KLAX...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. THERE IS A
10 PERCENT CHANCE OF EAST GREATER THAN 8 KNOTS BETWEEN 18Z AND 21Z
TODAY.

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

&&

.MARINE...01/900 AM.

OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BRING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WITH
NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS AND LOCAL SHORT-PERIOD
HAZARDOUS SEAS TO THE COASTAL WATERS SOUTH OF VENTURA AND THE
CHANNEL ISLANDS THROUGH AT LEAST THIS AFTERNOON. THERE IS A 40%
CHANCE THAT THE ADVISORIES MAY BE EXTENDED THROUGH TONIGHT INTO
EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THERE IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE THAT EAST
FACING HARBORS SUCH AS AVALON HARBOR COULD BE IMPACTED BY GUSTY
WINDS AND SHORT-PERIOD SEAS.

GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS AND SHORT-PERIOD HAZARDOUS SEAS ARE POSSIBLE
BY SATURDAY NIGHT OR SUNDAY AS A SERIES OF STORM SYSTEMS MOVE OVER
THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK.

A LONG-PERIOD LARGE WESTERLY SWELL ORIGINATING FROM A STORM SYSTEM
OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC OCEAN COULD IMPACT THE COASTAL WATERS
FOR MID-TO-LATE NEXT WEEK. IF THIS SWELL CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AS
FORECAST BY THE MODELS...THE VERY LARGE SWELL WOULD CAUSE ROUGH SEAS
ACROSS ALL COASTAL WATERS.

&&

.BEACHES...01/900 AM.
A LARGE LONG-PERIOD WEST-NORTHWEST SWELL IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER
THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC OCEAN THIS WEEKEND. THIS SWELL COULD CAUSE
HIGH SURF BY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...WITH THE SURF BUILDING TO
NEAR OR ABOVE WARNING LEVEL BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THERE IS
MODERATE CONFIDENCE THAT LARGE AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING
SURF...COASTAL FLOODING...AND BEACH EROSION WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA BEACHES BETWEEN TUESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. IN
ADDITION...THERE WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF SNEAKER WAVES WITH
THIS EVENT. IF THIS SWELL CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AS FORECAST BY THE
MODELS...MANY HARBORS AND COASTAL STRUCTURES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
BE IMPACTED NEXT WEEK.
