SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
340 PM PST THU JAN 7 2016

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...

FRIDAY WILL BE DRY...BUT ANOTHER WEAKER FRONT WILL BRING LIGHT RAIN
TO THE AREA SATURDAY. COOLER THAN NORMAL WEATHER WILL PERSIST
INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-SUN)...DRIER NORTHWEST FLOW TAKING OVER TODAY
AS THE RIDGE STARTS TO NOSE IN FROM THE WEST. THERE'S STILL ENOUGH
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY BELOW 700 MB TO GENERATE A FEW SHOWERS
BUT PRETTY LIGHT. WILL LEAVE THOSE IN THROUGH THE EVENING BEFORE
MOST OF THAT SHUTS DOWN OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE ONLY EXCEPTION
THEN MAY BE THE SLIVER OF VENTURA COUNTY MTNS NEAR THE KERN
COUNTY LINE WHICH MAY SEE SOME UPSLOPE PRECIP THROUGH EARLY
FRIDAY. OTHERWISE MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS TAKING OVER THROUGH FRIDAY
EVENING BUT REMAINING SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. BREEZY
NORTHWEST WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS, ANTELOPE VALLEY, AND BELOW THE
SANTA YNEZ RANGE IN SRN SBA COUNTY WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. WINDS
MAY BE CLOSE TO ADVISORY LEVEL THROUGH THE I-5 CORRIDOR THIS
EVENING.

THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL MOVE ONSHORE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
SATURDAY UP NORTH BUT WILL HAVE TO FIGHT THROUGH THE PRE- EXISTING
UPPER RIDGE TO DO SO. THIS WILL WEAKEN IT QUITE A BIT, AND THE
FACT THAT THE BULK OF THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY STAYS WELL NORTH
ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT
PRECIP DOWN HERE. STILL, MODELS DO SHOW ENOUGH LOW LEVEL SOUTHWEST
FLOW AND LIFT TO AT LEAST GENERATE SOME LIGHT PRECIP THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA BY SATURDAY EVENING. ALSO THE NAM DOES SHOW SOME
SECONDARY ENERGY COMING IN LATER SATURDAY TO HELP KEEP IT
TOGETHER. DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN THIS ONE BUT
WOULD BE SURPRISED IF WE GOT MORE THAN A QUARTER TO HALF INCH OUT
OF IT. I LIKE THE GFS SOLUTION HERE WHICH IS A NOTCH BELOW THE
SLIGHTLY WETTER NAM. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE A GOOD 1500-2000' HIGHER
WITH THIS ONE AS THE COLDER AIR STAYS FURTHER NORTH WITH THE
PARENT LOW.

SUNDAY SHOULD BE DRY EXCEPT FOR PERHAPS SOME LINGERING EARLY
MORNING PRECIP ACROSS LA COUNTY. A LOW AMPLITUDE RIDGE WILL MOVE
OVER THE STATE AND GENERATE SUBSIDENCE AND CLEARING SKIES BUT ONLY
A VERY SLIGHT WARMUP FROM SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM (MON-THU)...THE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN AN ADDITIONAL SYSTEM
MOVING TOWARDS CALIFORNIA MONDAY AND KEEP MOST OF THE ENERGY NORTH
OF OUR AREA. IT MAY HAVE JUST ENOUGH LEFT IN THE TANK TO GENERATE
SOME LIGHT PRECIP ACROSS NRN AREAS. OTHERWISE JUST SOME CLOUDS AND
CONTINUED BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

COOL AND DRY TUESDAY THEN ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVING INTO NRN
CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY. MODELS DIVERGE A BIT HERE WITH THE EC
ALLOWING JUST ENOUGH OF IT TO SUPPORT RAIN CHANCES IN THE SOUTH.
BUT THE GFS WEAKENS IT TOO MUCH AND GENERALLY IS DRY FOR OUR AREA.
EITHER WAY IT WOULD BE A WEAK SYSTEM AT BEST LATE WED INTO THU.

&&
