AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

New Aviation Discussion

.SYNOPSIS...

Skies will be mostly clear into Wednesday with above normal
temperatures. Then a low should arrive Thursday with a deeper marine
layer and a cooling trend through early next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TDY-THU)

Marine layer stratus pretty non existent this morning except for
Western SBA county and perhaps the beaches of Long Beach. Another
warm day today south of Point Conception with temps very similar
to YDY. The Central Coast is todays question mark. All higher rez
mdls are fcsting a morning east wind event which would bring a
huge spike in temps with many areas hitting their daily max temps
before noon and then cooling through the afternoon. For reasons
only ivory tower modelers understand this wind is very often (but
not always) overdone. So do not have the very warm morning max
temps in the fcst but have to worry about them.

Not much excitement for Wed and Thu. The ridge that is overhead
now will be pushed out by are large west coast trof. The effects
of the trof will be minimal over Srn CA where hgts drop to 585 DM
by Thu afternoon. There will not be too much of a marine layer
cloud pattern again Wed morning and just a small increase in
morning low clouds for Thu. Max temps will stay above normal
through the period everywhere except the coast where max temps
will be near normal.

.LONG TERM...(FRI-MON)

Both the GFS and the EC numerical models agree that the upper
trough will persist through the extended period and will
strengthen a little each day.

Friday and the weekend look to be fairly cloudy along the coasts
and coastal valleys as the trough increases to the point where it
will lift the marine layer deep into the valleys. Expecting night
through morning low clouds and fog extending all the way into the
Santa Clarita valley. Cooler still on Saturday due to lower hgts
and then little change for Sunday.

On Monday the GFS develops the 500mb-level trough into a cutoff
low pressure system to our southwest and slightly higher heights
over our immediate area...which would raise temperatures a little
and affect the wind patterns. The EC does so by Tuesday. Not
putting too much faith in anything that far out but raised the
afternoon temperatures a degree or two for those days.

&&

.AVIATION...30/1145Z.

AT 0745Z, the marine layer depth at KLAX was around 600 feet
deep. The top of the inversion was near 2300 feet with a
temperature of 32 degrees Celsius.

Overall, good confidence in TAFs away from the coast and moderate
confidence near the coast. There is a 50 percent chance that VFR
cigs prevail this morning at KLGB. There is a 30 percent chance of
brief IFR to LIFR cigs at KLAX and KSMX thru 15Z. After 30/06Z,
there is a 30 percent of IFR to LIFR cigs at KLAX and KLGB with a
10 percent chance at KOXR after 30/09Z. There is a 30 percent of
brief NE winds up to 10 kt thru 18Z before the sea breeze kicks
in at KSMX and KSBP.

KLAX...There is a 30 percent chance of brief IFR to LIFR cigs at
thru 15Z with a 30 percent chance of IFR to LIFR cigs again after
30/06Z. Any east winds are expected to remain well below 8 KTS.

KBUR...High confidence in TAF with VFR conditions throughout the
period.

&&

.MARINE...30/0315 PM...

A Gale Warning for the outer waters from Point Pierdas Blancas to
Santa Cruz Island continues through Tuesday night. A Gale Warning
for the outer waters from Santa Cruz Island to San Nicolas Island
remains in effect beginning late Tuesday afternoon and continuing
through Tuesday night. Small craft conditions will likely persist
for these areas through at least Thursday.

Small Craft Advisories remain in effect through Tuesday night for
western portions of the inner waters from Point Pierdas Blancas to
Point Sal and the Santa Barbara Channel, with gusts to 25 knots
and rough short period seas.

Patchy dense fog is possible through mid morning, mainly to the
south of Point Palos Verdes.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

29/215 PM...

For southern Santa Barbara county (the Santa Ynez range and south
coast of Santa Barbara county), gusty sundowner winds are expected
this afternoon/evening and again Tuesday afternoon/evening. With
good north-south pressure gradients and decent upper level support
wind gusts to around 40 MPH are expected through and below passes
and canyons. With the marine inversion expected to remain very
low (below 1000 feet), relative humidity is expected to fall into
the teens, and possibly single digits, late this afternoon/evening
and again late Tuesday afternoon/evening with poor overnight
recoveries. With this combination of gusty winds and low relative
humidity, an extended period of critical fire weather conditions
is expected across southern Santa Barbara county, especially
during the afternoon and evening hours, and a Red Flag Warning
remains in effect through Wednesday morning.

Elsewhere across the area, hot and dry conditions are expected
to continue through Wednesday. Afternoon temperatures will show
a slow cooling trend, but remain well above normal. So with
relative humidity expected to drop into the teens each afternoon,
elevated fire weather conditions can be expected across interior
sections. The warm temperatures near the surface will cause
steepening lapse rates that will enable deep vertical mixing
layers through Wednesday when mixing layer heights are forecast
to range between 12,000 and 15,000 feet. For existing fires or
new ignitions over interior areas, plume dominated fire behavior
will be possible.
