AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
1007 PM PST THU MAR 10 2016

UPDATED AVIATION SECTION

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL BRING RAIN...MOUNTAIN SNOW AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
TO THE AREA FRIDAY. COOLER CONDITIONS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A SECOND...WEAKER FRONT MAY BRING
LIGHT SHOWERS...MAINLY NORTH OF SANTA BARBARA LATE SUNDAY INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. FAIR SKIES AND A RETURN TO ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.UPDATE...INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW THE SUBTROPICAL JET WITH
AMPLE MOISTURE STREAMING DIRECTLY TOWARD THE SFO BAY AREA THIS
EVENING. THE MOISTURE BAND WILL SHIFT SOUTHWARD TONIGHT INTO
EARLY FRIDAY, AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGS TOWARD THE
CALIFORNIA COAST. LOW CLOUDS ARE ALREADY MAKING AN APPEARANCE ON
THE CENTRAL COAST AND ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD INTO THE VALLEYS
LATER TONIGHT.

THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE FAIRLY QUICKLY FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW. FRONTAL PASSAGE IS EXPECTED
IN THE MORNING FOR NORTHERN SECTIONS AND DURING THE AFTERNOON
FURTHER SOUTH. INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN
SLIGHT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA IN THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. WITH GOOD SOUTHERLY FLOW AND STRONG PVA ALOFT,
EXPECT MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN RATES, POSSIBLY UP TO HALF
AN INCH PER HOUR IN SOME LOCATIONS. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED IN THE SBA/VENTURA MOUNTAINS. WINDS LOOK STRONG ENOUGH
TO WARRANT ADVISORIES FOR THE MOUNTAINS, WITH GUSTS UP TO 55 MPH,
AND FOR INTERIOR VALLEY LOCATIONS GUSTS 35 TO 45 MPH ARE LIKELY.

SNOW LEVELS WILL BE HIGH INITIALLY BUT WILL LOWER QUICKLY BEHIND
THE FRONT AS COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA. BY FRIDAY EVENING SNOW
LEVELS BETWEEN 4500 AND 5000 FEET ARE EXPECTED. STRONGER SHOWERS
MAY RESULT IN SNOW AS LOW AS 4000 FEET, POTENTIALLY AFFECTING
TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE-5 CORRIDOR OVERNIGHT. A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE INTERIOR MOUNTAINS OF LOS ANGELES
AND VENTURA COUNTIES...WITH SNOW TOTALS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES ABOVE
5000 FEET AND 6 TO 12 INCHES ABOVE 7000 FEET.

FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...DRY WEATHER EXPECTED SATURDAY BUT
SOME LINGERING LOW LVL MOISTURE WILL BLOSSOM INTO SOME SMALL CU,
ESPECIALLY INLAND AND OVER THE MTNS. TEMPS WARMER THAN FRI BUT
STILL A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

ON SUNDAY THE TAIL END OF A SYSTEM THAT'S MOSTLY MOVING NORTH OF
THE AREA WILL CLIP THE AREA, MAINLY NORTH OF PT CONCEPTION. SOME
LIGHT PRECIP POSSIBLE BUT UNDER A TENTH OF AN INCH. BETTER CHANCES
FOR PRECIP SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A SECOND WAVE OF MOISTURE COMING
THROUGH. AGAIN BEST CHANCES NORTH OF PT CONCEPTION AND STILL
FAIRLY LIGHT AMOUNTS, MAINLY UNDER A QUARTER INCH.

.LONG TERM...(SUN-WED)

THE REMNANTS OF THAT SUNDAY SYSTEM WILL DRAG THROUGH LA/VENTURA
COUNTIES MONDAY WITH A CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT PRECIP. THIS ONE HAS
ALL WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW WITH IT SO THERE'S ACTUALLY A BETTER
CHANCE FOR PRECIP ACROSS LA COUNTY AND POINTS SOUTH AND EAST THAN
VENTURA COUNTY. JUST LIGHT SHOWERS AT BEST, UNDER A TENTH OF AN
INCH MOST AREAS.

CLEARING SKIES AND TURNING MUCH WARMER TUE-THU. LIGHT TO MODERATE
OFFSHORE FLOW AND A BUILDING RIDGE FROM THE WEST SHOULD PUMP TEMPS
BACK UP INTO THE 80S BY MID WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...11/0600Z.

AT 0400Z AT KLAX...THE MARINE LAYER DEPTH WAS 800 FEET WITH THE
INVERSION TOP AT 2100 FEET AT 18 DEG C.

LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE 06Z TAFS. LOW CERTAINTY IN HEIGHT AND
TIMING OF LOW CIGS AT COASTAL SITES OVERNIGHT...INCLUDING KBUR
AND KVNY. LOW CIGS MAY DISSIPATE EARLIER THAN FORECASTED DUE TO
INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS. AT KPRB...THERE IS A 30 PERCENT CHANCE
THAT LOW CIGS/VSBYS FROM 3 TO 6 HOURS EARLIER. THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE NW TO SE ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 15Z FRI TO 00Z
SAT...BUT TIMING OF RAIN INCLUDING POSSIBLE +RA IS LOW CERTAINTY.
LOW VSBY MAY ACCOMPANY ANY +RA. TURBULENCE AND LLWS WILL BE LIKELY
JUST AHEAD OF AND FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE
MOUNTAINS. SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSTMS BETWEEN 18Z FRI AND 06Z
SAT...AND GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS WILL BE LIKELY NEAR ANY TSTMS THAT
FORM DURING THIS TIME.

KLAX....LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE 06Z TAFS. TIMING OF OVERNIGHT LOW
CIGS/VSBYS MAY BE OFF BY +/- 3 HRS. THE TIMING OF TSTMS CHANCES
WITH RA/+RA AND LOW VSBY MAY BE OFF BY +/- 3 HRS. 20% CHANCE SOUTH
WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT WILL EXCEED 25 KT. TIMING OF
STRONG WINDS MAY DIFFER BY +/- 3 HRS. STRONG ERRATIC WINDS MAY
ACCOMPANY ANY TSTMS THAT FORM.

KBUR....LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE 06Z TAFS. TIMING OF THE LOW MARINE
LAYER CIGS/VSBYS FRI MORNING MAY BE OFF BY +/- 3 HOURS...WITH A 30
PERCENT CHANCE LOW CLOUDS WILL NOT FORM. TIMING OF RA AND LIFR
CONDS WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE MAY BE OFF BY +/- 3 HRS.

&&

.MARINE...10/800 PM.
SOUTHEAST WINDS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE WATERS...AND STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
DEVELOP JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. SOUTHWEST GALES WILL BE POSSIBLE
FRIDAY AFTERNOON OVER THE OUTER WATERS...SHIFTING TO THE WEST AND
NORTHWEST FRIDAY NIGHT. BY SATURDAY MORNING WINDS WILL SUBSIDE TO
SCA LEVEL WITH GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS.....AND THEN PERSIST THROUGH LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT.

FOR THE INNER WATERS SCA WINDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST ARE
EXPECTED FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...AND WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
AND REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

SEAS WILL BE A MIX OF WESTERLY SWELL WITH PERIOD AROUND 13
SECONDS...AND SHORT PERIOD WIND WAVES FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
A LARGER NORTHWEST SWELL WILL MOVE INTO THE WATERS SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY.
