AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
1040 AM PDT WED AUG 17 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak low pressure will move in by midweek...and cause
breezy winds in the mountains and deserts into Thursday evening.
A gradual cooling trend is forecast into the weekend...then a slow
warming trend next week. The temperatures will be around normal
through next week with mostly clear skies...except for an
overnight coastal marine layer.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TDY-FRI)

Expecting the low stratus and fog to burn off at all locations in
the next few hours except for beaches along the Central Coast.
There will be slight cooling in the interior due to height falls but
the coasts will see temperatures similar to yesterday.

*** from previous discussion ***

A long wave trof will retrograde over the area Thursday and then
a very weak upper low will cut off from the trof and set up over
pt conception on Friday. Hgts will fall to 585 dm. Onshore grads
will remain about the same but the lower hgts will allow the
marine layer to rise a little allowing cooler marine air into the
lower vlys. Max temps will change little across the coast and will
cool slightly each day across the mtns and Far interior. There
will be a fairly large and noticeable drop in the Vly temps
Thursday as the marine air makes a return and then only a small
drop in Friday. Night through morning low clouds and fog will
persist through the period.

.LONG TERM...(SAT-TUE)

Both the EC and the GFS agree that Saturday will be the coolest
day of the next 7 as hgts bottom out and the marine layer rises.
All areas will be at or even a degree or two blo normal.

Then there will be three very similar days in a row as weak upper
high moves over Srn CA on Sunday. Hgts will rise...the marine
layer will smoosh and max temps will rise a few degrees (esp away
from the coast) The night through morning low clouds will continue
unabated. If you liked Sundays forecast then you will like Mondays
and Tuesdays as there is little change in the weather pattern and
corresponding lack of change in the weather.

&&

.AVIATION...17/1800z

A nearly e-w oriented upper level trough over Northern California
will shift south and become oriented ne-sw centered over Santa
Barbara County while a mid level low centered in the vicinity of
Morro bay shifts southwest. Upper level moderate to strong northwest
winds will become moderate northwest after 18/22z while mid level
light to moderate southwest west winds prevail over the southern
half of the area and light south winds prevail elsewhere. Moderate
onshore pressure gradient through 18/03z and after 18/20z
otherwise weak onshore gradient. Strong capping marine inversion
was approximately 1.3kft over VBG and .7kft over LAX this morning
and will differ little Thursday morning. Low cloud field was
overcast west of the Channel Island and broken over the bight
this morning. Cloud field will reorganize tonight and similar
conditions to this morning are expected Thursday morning.

Marine layer at LAX at 1500Z is 716 feet deep and the inversion
top is at 2709 feet with a temp of 27.3 degrees C.

KLAX...chance cigs 007 vsby 2sm br between 18/07-18/10z then
chance cigs 006-007 vsby 5sm br between 18/10-18/16z.

KBUR...very likely current sky/vsby conditions will prevail.

virtually certain - 95-100%
very likely       - 80-95%
likely            - 60-80%
chance            - 30-60%
very unlikely     - 20% or less

&&

.MARINE...17/900 AM.

West and northwest winds will increase this afternoon in the Santa
Barbara Basin and in the area between the Northern Channel Islands
and San Nicolas Island as well as in the vicinity of Ventura
Point, Point Dume and near shore in the San Pedro Basin. And there
is a slight chance small craft advisory conditions will exist
from 3PM-9PM as well as on Thursday and Friday afternoon.
Otherwise small craft advisory conditions are not expected through
Saturday morning. Northwest winds are expected to increase over
the bight Saturday afternoon and there is a chance of small craft
advisory conditions will exist over the Santa Barbara, Santa
Monica and San Pedro Basins each afternoon Saturday through
Sunday. Small craft advisory for hazardous sea conditions are not
expected as a swell from 190-210 builds tonight through Thursday
night and persists through Sunday but extra currents and surging
will exist along exposed south facing shores.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

17/900 AM.

Widespread minimum humidities under 10 percent away from the
coast will continue through Thursday...with only slow improvement
Friday and Saturday as a slightly cooler and moister airmass moves
up from the south. Very poor overnight humidity recoveries will
persist IN THE mountains and foothills. Meanwhile gusty onshore
flow will form over interior sections each day through
Friday...with gusts between 25 and 40 MPH. This will result in
widespread elevated fire weather danger away from the coast
through at least Friday. The highest concern is through Thursday
over the mountains and desert foothills of Los Angeles and Ventura
Counties where a Red Flag Warning remains in effect. There is a
chance that this warning will need to be extended into early
Friday. The Santa Clarita Valley, Santa Monica Mountains and
Carrizo Plain will likely see 2 to 4 hours of red flag conditions
each day, which is just under the duration criteria for a warning
but still very concerning. Coastal areas should remain under a
shallow but strong marine layer.
&&

.LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...Red Flag Warning in effect until 9 PM PDT Thursday For zones
      253-254-259. (See LAXRFWLOX).
