AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
910 AM PDT MON AUG 15 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure aloft will give way to low pressure aloft midweek,
which will likely persist into the weekend. This will support one
more hot day today before near normal temperatures return by
Wednesday and last into the weekend. Night through morning low
clouds will likely become more widespread through the week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TDY-WED)

Shallow marine layer this morning between 500 and 1000 feet has
brought plenty low visibilities to the region...though not quite
low enough to need dense fog advisories. Not too sure how the low
clouds will behave into the afternoon but the most likely outcome
is for sunshine everywhere except for the immediate Central Coast.
Temperatures today look be a touch lower than yesterday as the
high pressure area that was centered over southern California
yesterday weakens ever-so-slightly today and shifts to the
southwest. Interior areas will experience the most noticeable
affects of this...while coastal areas will be mostly driven by
the ebbs and flows of the marine layer. Breezy southwest winds are
expected over interior sections today and while they will not be
strong enough for a wind advisory...they will combine with the dry
conditions to result in critical fire weather conditions (see
RFWLOX). The Santa Barbara South Coast (western portion) should
also see some gusty northwest winds tonight to the order of 15 to
25 mph with a -3.3 MB SMX-SBA pressure gradient...but the marine
layer could disrupt that.

***From Previous Discussion***

Hgts fall a little more Tuesday as a weak upper low moves into
the state. There does not look like there will be much of an eddy
so L.A. county should remain clear. There will be a little more
cooling across the interior but little change near the coast as
the marine layer will not change much at all.

The trof moves into NV on Wednesday but in reality there will not
be much change in the weather or the temps.

.LONG TERM...(THU-SUN)

EC and GFS agree with each other and previous runs and both
forecast a weak cutoff low developing just to the west of Point
Conception. This upper low will then remain in place for the
duration of the extended period. The lift from the low will bring
a more extensive marine stratus deck to the coasts and vlys. Max
temps will fall to normal across the area as hgts fall to 585 DM.

Although no mdl forecasts any convection it is impossible to
totally rule out afternoon TSTMs over the mtns. There will be both
weak lift and instability due to the low. The current solutions do
not show any mositure entraining into the south flow and without
the moisture there will not be any TSTMs. Of course the mdls are
absolutely horrible at forecasting moisture transport from the
south...so will have to watch this as the time grows nearer.

&&

.AVIATION...15/1230Z

At 1200Z at KLAX, the marine layer depth was around 600 feet. The top
of the inversion was around 2000 feet with a temperature of 29C.

Low clouds with IFR to VLIFR conds in all coastal sections this
morning, with the exception of interior sections of L.A. County
which remained clear. VLIFR conds were also affecting the Santa
Ynez Valley, and northern portions of the Salinas Valley.

Clouds should clear by mid morning, except possibly will linger
at some beaches into the afternoon. Expect similar low cloud
pattern tonight/Tue morning, with more inland coverage across the
L.A. County coastal plain.

KLAX...Low to Moderate confidence in the 12z TAF. VLIFR to LIFR
conds due to cigs should improve to IFR conds by mid morning.
There is a 30 percent that IFR cigs will persist through 19z.
There is a 20 to 30 percent chance that IFR conds will return
as early as 03z this evening.

KBUR...Very high confidence in the 12Z taf with VFR conds through
the pd.

&&

.MARINE...15/330 AM.

Expect SCA winds across the southern two thirds of the outer
waters through late tonight, with rather high confidence that
winds will drop below SCA conds before daybreak Tue.

There is a 20 percent chance that a SCA will be needed for the
northern outer waters this afternoon and evening. Local SCA gusts
are possible across the inner waters and the Santa Barbara Channel
this afternoon and evening. Otherwise, do not expect SCA conds
through at least Wed.

Areas of dense fog with visibilities of one nautical mile or less
will continue to affect much of the coastal waters this morning.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...14/145 PM.

Will be updated shortly.

&&

.LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...Red Flag Warning in effect from this afternoon through
      Thursday evening For zones 253-254-259. (See LAXRFWLOX).
PZ...Small Craft Advisory in effect until 3 AM PDT Tuesday For
      zones 673-676. (See LAXMWWLOX).
