AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
412 AM PDT THU MAY 19 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Upper level low pressure will drop southward into northern
California through Friday, then move little through early Saturday.
This will bring a cooling trend to the region, with plenty of
night through morning low clouds and fog, and possibly some
drizzle or light rain. The upper low will begin to move east over
the weekend, but a couple of additional troughs will keep
unseasonably cool conditions across much of the region through the
middle of next week, along with a deep marine layer.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TDY-SAT)

The marine inversion has risen to around 2500 ft deep early this
morning. Low clouds were widespread in all coastal and valley
areas with the exception of the interior valleys of San Luis
Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties, and the Santa Clarita Valley.
It looks as through stratus will spill into the Santa Clarita
Valley and the Salinas Valley by daybreak. With strong onshore
W-E and N-S gradients, expect clearing to be rather slow today,
and once again clouds will likely linger in coastal areas south of
Point Conception. Do not expect much change in max temps across
the coastal plain, but good cooling at 950 mb due to the deeper
marine layer should bring several degrees of cooling to the
valleys today. There should also be some cooling in the mtns and
deserts as heights begin to fall. Strong onshore gradients will
likely bring gusty winds to the Antelope Valley, and a wind
advisory has been issued there for this afternoon and evening.
Gusty winds will likely also affect the Salinas Valley, and the
L.A. county mountains through Highway 14 corridor.

An upper low over the Pacific Northwest today will drop southward
into northern California late tonight and Friday. Good height
falls should allow the marine layer to continue to deepen, with
clouds pushing into coastal slopes overnight/Friday morning.
Strong cyclonic flow and low level lift will likely bring some
drizzle to coastal, valley and foothills areas south of Pt
Conception late tonight/Friday morning, and there could even be
some measurable rain, mainly across L.A. County and eastern
Ventura County. Clearing should be rather slow on Friday, and
with the marine layer so deep, it will likely be a reverse
clearing pattern, with clouds most stubborn in the valleys of
L.A. and Vtu counties. In fact, it may stay mostly cloudy in the
valleys for the entire day. There will be some additional cooling
in the valleys on Friday, but the most significant cooling will
be in the deserts, with max temps likely down 15 degrees or so
from those today. It will be windy again in the mtns and deserts,
with winds possibly reaching advisory levels. Some gusty northwest
winds will likely affect the Central Coast in the afternoon
Friday, and there could be some gusty winds through and below
passes and canyons on the south coast of Sba County Friday
evening.

The upper low will move little Friday night and early Saturday,
then it will begin to weaken and shift slowly eastward. Expect
widespread low clouds/fog in coastal and valley areas and all the
way to the coastal slopes Friday night/early Sat, but the
inversion will become much weaker as cold air aloft pushes into
the region. In fact, the inversion may be wiped out north of Pt
Conception, so skies may be only partly cloudy there Friday
night/Sat. Skies should clear a bit better across the region on
Saturday, but it will remain very cool for late May. There will be
some instability in the mountains Saturday afternoon, but at this
time, moisture looks too limited for any significant threat of
convection.

.LONG TERM...(SUN-WED)
The upper low will continue to move east Saturday night and Sunday,
but a couple more troughs will move into the West Coast Monday
through Wednesday. This will keep max temps below normal to well
below normal across much of the region, with plenty of night
through morning low clouds...fog and possible drizzle at times
in coastal and valley areas, and gusty winds each afternoon in the
mountains and Antelope Valley.

&&

.AVIATION...19/1030Z...

At 1030Z, the marine inversion at KLAX was based around 2300 feet.
The top of the inversion was 4500 feet with a temperature of 20
degrees Celsius.

Overall, moderate confidence in 12Z TAF package. MVFR/IFR cigs
firmly entrenched across all coastal/valley sites. With strong
onshore gradients, expect limited clearing this afternoon along
the coast. For tonight, the inversion should deepen and stratus
will cover all coastal/valley sites. Across the Antelope Valley
there will be very gusty afternoon/evening southwesterly winds
with gusts up to 40 knots likely.

KLAX...moderate confidence in 12Z TAF. Moderate confidence in
timing of ceilings changing from IFR to MVFR. There is a 30%
chance that ceilings will dissipate for a couple hours this
afternoon.

KBUR...moderate confidence in 12Z TAF. Timing of dissipation of
MVFR cigs could be +/- 2 hours of current 20Z forecast. For
tonight, high confidence in return of MVFR ceilings, but low
confidence in timing.

&&

.MARINE...19/230 AM...

For the Outer Waters, good confidence in current forecast.
Northwest winds will increase today with high confidence in the
development of SCA level winds which will continue through Friday
evening before diminishing. Gusts will be strongest this afternoon
and evening with local gale force gusts likely, especially around
Point Conception. As the winds increase, seas will also increase
to around 11 feet this afternoon and tonight. Northwest winds will
decrease a bit on Saturday, but will increase on Sunday/Monday
with a good chance of SCA conditions.

For the Inner Waters, good confidence in current forecast. For the
waters north of Point Sal, northwest winds will increase to SCA
levels this afternoon and continue at these levels through Friday
night. On Saturday, the winds will be weaker, but winds will
possibly increase to SCA levels again Sunday/Monday. For the
waters south of Point Conception, west to northwest winds will be
on the increase with a chance of SCA level gusts across western
portions from this afternoon through Friday evening (especially
across the western Santa Barbara Channel).
