AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
450 PM PST Wed Dec 21 2016

New Aviation Discussion

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak low pressure system approaching from the south will bring a
good chance of showers to areas south of Point Conception today
and tonight, with a slight chance of thunderstorms tonight. A
stronger storm system approaching from the northwest will bring a
better chance for significant rain Friday into early Saturday.
Slight chance of another storm Christmas night into Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TDY-SAT)

An upper low off the coast of Baja is sending up moisture into
southern California and will continue to do so through Thursday,
though timing these moisture waves and anticipating where they
will hit and how much, if any, rain will fall from them is nearly
impossible. The latest batch of moisture moving into srn LA County
has had a history of dropping some decent rain, which has had the
added benefit of increasing surface dewpoints. Further north and
west the low lvls are still very dry and the a lot of the rain
that's falling is evaporating before reaching the ground. And with
offshore gradients and northeast winds aloft expected to
strengthen tonight this may pose some additional difficulties in
forecasting rain for this event. Overall the forecast is about
where it should be with likely pops across LA/Ventura counties
tonight, then lowering chances through the day Thursday as
moisture starts to shift east. Amounts will range from just a
few hundredths in some places to around a half inch. LA County
probably the most likely to get the higher totals.

Models do show some elevated instability this evening into early
Thursday, mainly over the coastal waters from Ventura county
south. Some of those could push onshore briefly but they will lose
support as they move inland. At this point am not concerned enough for
burn areas to go with a flash flood watch but certainly worth
keeping an eye on if thunderstorms start to flare up.

Models in better agreement with the next storm for Friday into
Saturday. Looks like the faster speed has won out, with rain
arriving along the Central Coast midday Friday and quickly into LA
County by evening. And by sunrise Saturday the worst of it should
be done with just some lingering showers through the day, mainly
over the mountains. This one will be much colder, especially by
the end of the event Friday night. Given the speed of this storm it
will be a close call whether snow levels fall fast enough to
generate significant accumulations below 8000 feet. It probably
will be worthy of a winter weather advisory, especially since this
is a holiday weekend and there could be some impacts to Interstate
5 over the Grapevine on Christmas eve.

.LONG TERM...(SUN-WED)

Christmas day looks cool but dry with highs around 60 at low
elevations and 30s/40s in the mountains. Huge model differences
continue early next week. Both the ECMWF and GFS show another
system approaching, but the EC has been very consistent keeping it
well offshore and not close to producing any rain for our area.
The GFS had been consistent the other way, but the 12z operational run
today started to finally show signs of moving in that direction,
and several ensemble members also favor this. In fact, the
operational GFS now basically keeps the bulk of the precip over
the ocean Monday. If these trends continue then a dry forecast
appears more and more likely. But it's too early to rip out rain
chances, and it's still possible both models could shift further
west. So will leave in the low pops for Monday, then dry with a
slow warming trend into Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION...23/0045Z.

At 00Z at KLAX, there was not marine layer or inversion.

Moderate confidence in VFR conditions prevailing at most TAF
sites through the TAF period. There is a 30 percent chance of
MVFR to IR cigs/vsbys within heavier showers, mainly for the
coastal and valley TAF sites in LA County between 06Z and 12Z.
There is also a 15 percent chance of thunderstorms for the same
area and period with brief IFR to LIFR cigs/vsbys possible with
any thunderstorm. There is a 40 percent chance of VFR or IFR cigs
vsbys for KPRB from 12Z to 16Z.

KLAX and KBUR...There is a 30 percent chance of MVFR to IR
cigs/vsbys within heavier showers between 06Z and 12Z. There is
also a 15 percent chance of thunderstorms during the same period
with brief IFR to LIFR cigs/vsbys possible with any thunderstorm.

&&

.MARINE...21/100 PM.

A weak low pressure off of Baja California will move into extreme
southern California by early Thursday. This low will bring scattered
light rain...as well as the possibilty for thunderstorms southeast
of Point Conception (best chances between San Nicolas and Catalina
Islands). If thunderstorms form, locally gusty winds (up to 30 KT)
are likely, but waterspouts are not expected due to how high up
these storms are. The low will also maintain east winds through
much of tonight.

A strong storm system will impact the area on Friday Afternoon
through early Saturday. This storm is expected to bring widespread
south wind gusts to 30-35 KT during that time, widespread gale
force winds possible after the storm Saturday into Sunday. Seas
will build quickly (peaking on Saturday) although there not sure
exactly how large they will get. Best estimates during the peak
would be for around 15 feet off the Central Coast and 7-10 feet
over the Inner Waters (Santa Barbara Channel and Santa Monica
Basin).

&&

.LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...High Surf Advisory in effect until 2 AM PST Friday for zones
      34-35. (See LAXCFWLOX).
PZ...Small Craft Advisory for hazardous seas in effect until 2 AM
      PST Friday for zones 645-670-673-676. (See LAXMWWLOX).

&&

.HAZARD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK...(SAT-WED)
Rain and mountain snow Saturday may create hazardous road
conditions leading into the holiday weekend. High surf and gales
expected near and over the coastal waters Saturday and Sunday.
