AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
415 PM PST TUE FEB 16 2016

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
HOT AND DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY DUE TO HIGH
PRESSURE AND WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING
COOLER WEATHER FOR MID TO LATE WEEK...WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. A WARMING TREND IS LIKELY FOR NEXT
WEEKEND...WITH WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE BY EARLY NEXT
WEEK...AS HIGH PRESSURE AND OFFSHORE FLOW RETURNS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TDY-THU)

SEVERAL MORE RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES FELL TODAY DURING THE LAST
HOT DAY IN THIS CURRENT HEAT SPELL, INCLUDING DOWNTOWN LA, LONG
BEACH, LAX, UCLA, CAMARILLO, SANTA BARBARA, AND SANTA MARIA. A
TROF AND COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA TOMORROW WILL BRING
TEMPERATURES CRASHING 15-20 DEGREES ON AVERAGE ACROSS COAST/VALLEY
AREAS, WHICH JUST BRINGS THEM BACK TO NORMAL LEVELS FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR.

THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING RAIN TO MOST OF THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT, THOUGH ONSET TIME IS STILL A BIT OF A QUESTION MARK. MODELS
SHOW SOME INITIAL ENERGY COMING IN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WELL AHEAD
OF THE FRONT BUT MOST OF THE MOISTURE STILL AT OR ABOVE 10K FT.
CAN'T RULE OUT A SPRINKLE OR LIGHT SHOWER BEFORE SUNSET WEDNESDAY
BUT BEST CHANCES FOR THIS WOULD BE ACROSS SBA/SLO COUNTIES. THE
MAIN AREA OF RAIN WILL COME IN WEDNESDAY EVENING FROM VENTURA
COUNTY WEST AND MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT FOR LA COUNTY. SHOULD BE
SOME DECENT OROGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT WITH THIS ONE AS MODELS SHOW
20-40KT OF SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WIND AT 850MB AND 50-70KT AT 700MB.
RAIN AMOUNTS STILL LOOK ON TRACK FOR MOST AREAS, BETWEEN A QUARTER
TO HALF INCH, BUT UPSLOPE AREAS ACROSS SBA/VENTURA/LA COUNTIES
COULD SEE CLOSE TO AN INCH OR PERHAPS LOCALLY HIGHER DUE TO THOSE
STRONG WINDS ALOFT. NOT SEEING ANYTHING TO SUGGEST CONVECTION AT
THIS POINT. WINDS MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT WIND ADVISORIES
FOR THE MTNS AND/OR ANTELOPE VALLEY WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY
THU. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE QUITE HIGH, STARTING OUT BETWEEN 8-10KT
FEET WED EVE, LOWERING TO AROUND 7500 THU MORNING ACROSS
LA/VENTURA COUNTIES. MAYBE AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW DOWN TO 7500',
BUT NOT EXPECTING ANY WINTER HIGHLIGHTS WITH THIS STORM.

RAIN SHOULD TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST LATE WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY
THU WITH DRY WEATHER MOST AREAS BY NOON WITH AMPLE SUNSHINE. DRY
WITH MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS FRIDAY WITH JUST A VERY SLIGHT WARMUP
FROM THU.

.LONG TERM...(FRI-MON)

MILD CONDITIONS CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY AS A WEAK SYSTEM MOVES INTO
NRN CALIFORNIA. THE STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO
RETURN STARTING SUNDAY AND PEAKING IN STRENGTH MONDAY. DURING THIS
TIME MODERATE OFFSHORE GRADIENTS WILL BE RETURNING WITH SOME
LOCALLY GUSTY SANTA ANA WINDS IN THE USUAL PLACES. HIGHS SUNDAY
EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 80S FOR THE WARMER AREAS AND
POSSIBLY CLOSE TO 90 MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THIS EVENT DOESN'T APPEAR
TO BE QUITE AS HOT OR AS LONG LASTING AS THIS RECENT HEAT WAVE
BUT STILL ABOUT 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL MOST COAST/VALLEY AREAS.
