SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
248 AM PST SAT JAN 30 2016

.SYNOPSIS...

INCREASING CLOUDS AND LIGHT RAIN DEVELOPING LATER TODAY. A FAST
MOVING COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY MORNING BRINGING WIDESPREAD
HEAVY RAIN TO THE AREA LASTING INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS
SUNDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT...STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP BEHIND
THE FRONT SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
AND PERSIST THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK BRINGING CLEAR AND AROUND
NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR BY MID WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MON)...LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED PLENTY
OF LOW CLOUDS FILLING IN TO MOST COAST AND VALLEYS N OF POINT
CONCEPTION AS WELL AS THE OUTER WATERS. THERE WERE SOME LOW CLOUDS
BEGINNING TO FILL IN ACROSS L.A COUNTY COASTAL AREAS AS WELL. WITH
THE ONSHORE FLOW PICKING UP...EXPECTING LOW CLOUDS TO FILL IN TO
SOME COASTAL VALLEYS IN L.A /VTU COUNTIES LATER THIS MORNING.
PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL COAST AND SALINAS RIVER VALLEY WERE
EXPERIENCING SOME PATCHY DENSE FOG. SOME HIGH CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE
TO FILTER IN ACROSS THE REGION AS WELL AHEAD OF THE SAGGING SUB-
TROPICAL JET PULLING IN PLENTY OF MOISTURE THAT WILL DUMP PLENTY OF
RAIN AND SNOW OVER THE REGION AS THE UPPER TROUGH COMES INTO PLAY
LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY.

FOR TODAY...EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL BE ON THE INCREASE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH A CHANCE OF
LIGHT RAIN FOR AREAS NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION LATE THIS AFTERNOON
OR THIS EVENING. THERE WILL BE A NOTICEABLE COOLING TREND FOR ALL
AREAS ON SATURDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S. 8 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER FROM
YESTERDAY.

MODELS ARE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THIS NEXT STORM SYSTEM.
EXPECT A MAJOR CHANGE IN THE WEATHER BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT AND ALL
THROUGH SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING. A SUB- TROPICAL JET THAT HAS
BEEN DEFLECTED TO OUR NORTH FOR THE MAJORITY OF JANUARY...WILL SAG
FARTHER SOUTH IN RESPONSE TO A TROUGH TO THE NORTH MOVING THROUGH
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. AS THE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE
AREA...IT WILL TAP INTO PLENTY OF THAT SUB- TROPICAL MOISTURE FETCH.
A STRONG 130-160 KT JET CORE MOVING WEST TO EAST WILL APPROACH
SBA/VTU COUNTIES WITH THE LEFT FRONT QUADRANT CAUSING PLENTY OF LIFT
AND UPPER DIVERGENCE. THIS WILL BRING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS INITIALLY ACROSS SAN LUIS OBISPO AND
SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES SUNDAY MORNING...THEN CONTINUE TO MOVE
SOUTHEAST WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED ACROSS VENTURA AND LOS
ANGELES COUNTIES SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.
RAINFALL RATES COULD EXCEED ONE HALF INCH PER HOUR DURING THE PEAK
OF THE STORM. THERE WILL BE FLASH FLOOD/DEBRIS FLOW CONCERNS FOR THE
RECENT BURN AREAS. WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT CONSIDER THE ISSUANCE OF A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH. RAINFALL TOTALS EXPECTED TO BE 0.75 INCHES TO
1.50 INCHES FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH 1.50 TO 3.00 INCHES
ACROSS SOUTHWEST FACING FOOTHILL/MOUNTAIN AREAS.

THE COMBINATION OF VERY STRONG UPPER LEVEL WINDS...A VEERING WIND
PROFILE IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE...AND SOME INSTABILITY ALONG THE
FRONT WILL BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE GREATEST
THREATS WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND
STRONG WIND GUSTS. PRELIMINARY INDICATIONS WERE SHOWING THE
POSSIBILITY OF WATERSPOUTS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS WITH THIS
VIGOROUS STORM SYSTEM. A FEW ISOLATED WEAK TORNADOES CAN'T BE RULED
OUT AS WELL. MOST OF THE SHOWERS SHOULD TAPER OFF FOR AREAS N OF
VENTURA COUNTY BY EARLY SUNDAY EVENING...BUT SHOULD CONTINUE FOR
L.A. AND VENTURA COUNTIES UNTIL EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

WITH THE WARM SUB-TROPICAL FETCH OF MOISTURE OVER THE AREA...SNOW
LEVELS WILL REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 6500 FT THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY EVENING.
HOWEVER WHEN THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH...SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL
LIKE A ROCK. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE GONE...THERE
WILL BE PLENTY OF CLOUDS BANKING UP AGAINST THE NORTHERN SLOPES
LIKELY AFFECTING THE GRAPEVINE. WITH THE RAIN TURNING TO MUCH COLDER
CONDITIONS...TRAVEL ACROSS THE I-5 CORRIDOR IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
TREACHEROUS DUE TO VERY ICY CONDITIONS...AND THE POTENTIAL OF
BLOWING SNOW. AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE THERE COULD BE 1-2 FEET OF
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ABOVE 7000 FT...WITH UP TO A FOOT ABOVE 6000 FT.

BEHIND THE FRONT...VERY COLD AND WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE NAM-WRF CONTINUES TO SHOW
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 110KT BETWEEN 500 AND 600 MB EARLY MONDAY AND UP
TO 60KT AT 850 MB. WITH THE STRONG SUBSIDENCE ALOFT EXPECT WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 80 MPH ACROSS SOME MOUNTAIN AREAS. WARNING LEVEL WINDS
ALSO EXPECTED IN THE ANTELOPE VALLEY AND POSSIBLY SOME OF THE
COASTAL VALLEYS AS WELL. OTHERWISE, A DRY DAY MONDAY BUT COOL AND
QUITE WINDY. WIDESPREAD WIND ADVISORIES ARE LIKELY FOR MONDAY. HIGH
TEMPS ON MONDAY SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MID 50S-TO AROUND 60 FOR MOST
COAST AND VALLEYS...WITH MUCH COLDER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE INTERIOR
REGIONS.

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...FOR TUE AND WED...THERE WILL BE BROAD NW FLOW
ALOFT WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE AXIS OVER CALIFORNIA ON WEDNESDAY
WHICH WILL KEEP ANY CHANCE OF SHOWERS WELL TO THE NORTH. THERE COULD
BE SOME HIGH CLOUDS BREAKING THROUGH THE RIDGE CAUSING PARTLY CLOUDY
SKIES...BUT OVERALL EXPECT CONTINUED WARMING EACH DAY THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST THROUGH
FRIDAY. SOME WEAK OFFSHORE WINDS ARE EXPECTED EACH MORNING FROM WED-
FRI. HIGH TEMPS WILL REACH BACK TO NORMAL BY MID WEEK FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR.

&&

.AVIATION...30/0045Z...

AT 0000Z...THE MARINE LAYER INVERSION WAS AT 1500 FEET. THE TOP OF
THE INVERSION WAS AT 2600 FEET WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 18 DEGREES
CELSIUS.

LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN THE 00Z TAFS. NORTH OF POINT
CONCEPTION...A WEAK FRONT COULD LIFT THE MARINE LAYER ENOUGH FOR IFR
CONDITIONS TONIGHT...OR THE INCREASED LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE COULD
PRODUCE VLIFR CONDITIONS. BETTER CONFIDENCE SOUTH OF POINT
CONCEPTION THAT CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN ABOVE IFR...BUT THE FORMATION
AND CLEARING TIMES OF MVFR CONDITIONS FOR COASTAL/VALLEY SITES COULD
BE OFF BY SEVERAL HOURS.

KLAX...GOOD CONFIDENCE THAT MVFR CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP
TONIGHT...BUT ONLY MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENTLY FORECASTED
IFR CONDITIONS FROM 12-18Z. THERE IS A 40 PERCENT CHANCE THAT IFR
CONDITIONS WILL NOT DEVELOP. ALSO A 40 PERCENT THAT MVFR CIGS WILL
CLEAR AFTER 21Z TOMORROW.

KBUR...MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN MVFR CONDITIONS SATURDAY MORNING.
THERE IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE THAT THESE CONDITIONS WILL NOT DEVELOP.

&&

.MARINE...29/830 PM...

FOR THE OUTER WATERS...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CURRENT FORECAST. LARGE
NORTHWEST SWELL WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE HAZARDOUS SEAS CONDITIONS
THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...ALONG WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS.
ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF GALE FORCE WINDS BEHIND A COLD FRONT THAT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE
AREA.
WIDESPREAD WIND GUSTS OF 40 KNOTS OR GREATER ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS
EVENT WITH ISOLATED GUSTS UP TO 50 KNOTS POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE INNER WATERS...INCLUDING AREAS NEAR CATALINA. THE WIDESPREAD
GALE FORCE WINDS WILL CREATE VERY LARGE AND CHOPPY SEA CONDITIONS
WITH COMBINED SEAS OF 10 TO 15 FEET ACROSS MUCH OF THE COASTAL
WATERS BY SUNDAY NIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG GALE FORCE WINDS
AND VERY LARGE CHOPPY SEAS WILL BRING EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS MARINE
CONDITIONS LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

&&

.BEACHES...29/830 PM...

HIGH SURF WARNING FOR THE CENTRAL COAST WILL LIKELY BE CONVERTED TO
A HIGH SURF ADVISORY AT 10 PM THIS EVENING AND EXTENDED INTO AT
LEAST SATURDAY. HIGH SURF ADVISORY ALSO REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR AREAS
SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION THROUGH SATURDAY. LARGE AND VERY CHOPPY
SURF ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY.
