Updated Fire Weather Discussion and Hazards Section

.SYNOPSIS...
Moderate to strong Santa Ana winds will flow through portions of
Ventura and Los Angeles Counties on Friday and Saturday.  Temperatures
will warm slightly during the next few days and will be near
normal this weekend... then will cool again into next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TDY-SUN)

A cold upper level trof is dropping south into the Great Basin
today and will be setting up a strong Santa Ana wind pattern for
the next couple days. Models appears to have settled on a solution
that is favorable for a strong event with great upper support and
decent, though not great offshore pressure gradients. The NAM has
been consistent since yesterday showing 55-65kt northeast winds
near 850 mb and even down to almost 900 mb which is around 3300
ft. Models have tended to over-forecast these kinds of events in
the past but given the consistency and that we're within 24 hours
of the event confidence is certainly growing in a strong event.
Warnings will go into effect later tonight for LA/Ventura
mountains and Santa Clarita Valley while advisories will be up for
most of the remainder of LA/Ventura counties. Small pockets of
those advisory areas could see brief warning level gusts such as
Porter Ranch and the elevated parts of eastern Ventura County but
for the most part a strong advisory should suffice.

The one difference in the models today was the shift to Saturday
for the strongest offshore gradient. Although the trof shifts
south into Mexico by then, the winds near the 850 level are
stronger Saturday so at this point don't see too much difference
in overall wind speeds between the two days. Saturday's winds will
have a somewhat more easterly component which will likely result
in a slight decrease in some areas but an increase in others.

Still a cold event with temps mostly in the 60s at lower
elevations and 30s/40s in the mtns. Slightly warmer most areas
Saturday, especially inland due the weakening cold advection, but
no warmer than lower 70s at best.

The ridge continues to build into the area Sunday for additional
warming inland, but onshore trends should offset most of that for
coastal areas.

.LONG TERM...(MON-THU)

The GFS has backed off considerably from yesterdays solution which
had suggested some chances for rain early next week. Both the
ECMWF and GFS now agree that any precip should stay well north of
the area. However a return to onshore flow and overall weak
troffing over the area will lead to cooling for all areas through
Tuesday, though not quite as much as was expected yesterday. Both
models show an upper level ridge building over the state around
mid week for a warming trend.

.AVIATION...01/1800Z.

At 1731Z, there was no marine layer at KLAX.

VFR conditions are expected across the forecast area through
Friday...except for local dense fog overnight in the Salinas
Valley. The other concern will be a developing wind event across
the southern portion of the forecast area, in Ventura and Los
Angeles counties and the inner waters south of Point Conception.
The strong and gusty winds will be rather widespread across the
two counties producing turbulence and low level wind shear.

KLAX...Good confidence in the 18z TAFs. VFR conditions are
expected through Friday. There is the possibility of low level
wind shear on Friday.

KBUR...Good confidence in the 18z TAFs. VFR conditions are
expected through Friday. There is the possibility of low level
wind shear on Friday.

.MARINE...01/200 PM.

Moderate to high confidence that Small Craft Advisory level winds
and seas will persist across the outer waters through Friday
afternoon. Across the outer waters, conds will remain close to
SCA levels Fri night through Sun morning, then SCA conds are
likely again Sun afternoon through Mon.

Issued a Small Craft Advisory for north to northeast winds
affecting eastern portions of the SBA channel and the southern
inner waters Fri morning through Fri evening. The SCA winds will
possibly extend westward into the southern outer waters Fri
through Sat morning. The SCA may need to be continued into Sat.
Gusty NE winds will likely affect the San Pedro Channel and
Catalina Island including Avalon Harbor at times Fri morning
through Sat morning, with hazardous boating conditions at times.

.FIRE WEATHER...01/200pm.

Strong upper level flow coupled with high pressure over the Great
Basin will bring a strong Santa Ana wind event to Los Angeles and
Ventura Counties Friday and Saturday. Though much of the area has
received around 1 inch of rain over the last two weeks, the
vegetation (fuels) remain receptive to large fire growth under
red flag weather conditions.

Over the coastal and valley areas (including the Santa Monica
Mountains), humidities will generally lower into the 12 to 15
percent range on Friday and 8 to 15 percent range on Saturday.
Red flag conditions are expected Friday afternoon through Saturday
afternoon as a result. The previous Fire Weather Watch will be
upgraded to a Red Flag warning. The Los Angeles County Coastal
Plain and the San Gabriel Valley have also been added to the Red
Flag Warning as these winds will affect a larger area than usual
Santa Ana events because of the cold air.

Over the mountains, the cold temperatures will keep relative
humidities generally above 20 percent on Friday, but could lower
into the 10 to 20 percent range on Saturday. There is a chance
for Red Flag conditions on Saturday as a result, and a Fire
Weather Watch will be issued to address that.

Those handling potential fire ignition sources must exercise
extra caution as extreme fire behavior and rapid fire growth is
expected if any fire were to be started. This includes those
lighting fires for warmth considering the cold conditions.
