AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
1201 PM PST Sun Feb 19 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A wet and cool weather pattern will resume tonight and persist
through Wednesday as a series of low pressure systems move into
the West Coast. Highest rainfall totals are expected to be north
of Point Conception. Drier weather is expected late in the week,
then another storm may bring more rain to the region next weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TDY-TUE)

Current satellite imagery showing some breaks in cloud coverage
as of 9 am this morning, with the exception of LA County where
abundant low level moisture continues to bring mostly cloudy
skies with pockets of drizzle and light rain, especially along the
coastal foothills and mountains. 12z NAM model showing low level
moisture remaining in place today across the region, likely
maintaining some stratocumulus clouds and cool temperatures.

Current thinking on timing and amounts of next two storm system
on track...no major changes this morning. Chance of rain for
Central Coast by later this afternoon, with rain becoming
widespread tonight. Lighter rains likely for Ventura and LA
counties beginning later tonight into Monday.

*** From previous discussion ***

Very weak ridge across the region will continue to collapse sewd
today as a large upper trough moves into the northeast Pacific
and a strong jet takes aim at northern California. An increasingly
deep band of moisture with some decent mid level lift will sag
southward down the West Coast later today and tonight, and low
level southerly flow will increase. As this occurs, there will
be an increasing chance of rain later today in areas north of Pt
Conception, especially across northern SLO County. Rain will
develop across SLO and SBA counties this evening, and will become
likely across VTU and much of L.A. Counties overnight. Some of
the rain may be locally heavy across SLO county, particularly in
the higher terrain of northwestern SLO County, where there will be
some good orographic enhancement of the rainfall. Rain is expected
to be much lighter south of Pt Conception, especially across L.A.
County as this band of rain loses its punch as dynamics decrease
late tonight and early Monday. This first slug of moisture will
exit the region Monday morning, but skies should remain cloudy
and there will be a chance of showers through the day. It will be
another cool day across the region.

Another band of moisture will sag southward into the region from
northern and central CA late Mon or Mon night and linger into
Tue. This will be very similar to what occurs tonight and Mon
morning, with the heaviest rain and best moisture and dynamics
remaining across SLO and SBA Counties, Still, most areas should
have measurable rain Mon night into Tue, but amounts across VTU
and L.A. Counties are expected to be on the light side.
South winds could get close to advisory levels across portions of
SLO and SBA Counties at times late tonight thorough early Tue.

Overall, rainfall totals through Tue are expected to average
one half inch to one inch across SLO and SBA Counties, except
1-2 inches in the mountains, and possibly up to 3 inches across
the higher terrain of nwrn SLO County. Across VTU County, expect
one third to two thirds of an inch of rain, with up to 1.5 inches
in the western mountains. Across L.A. County rainfall totals
should be one tenth to one third of an inch, with local totals
up to an inch possible in the mountains. Snow levels will be
rather high through at least early Tue, so at this point, just
expect a few inches of snow at resort levels.

.LONG TERM...(WED-SAT)

Another system will move through central California on
Wednesday, bringing a chance of rain to the entire region, but
especially across SLo and SBA Counties. Thu and Fri look to be
dry, but still cool. Another storm system may bring rain to the
region by late Sat, and this system could be stronger, and bring
more significant rain to the entire region.

&&

.AVIATION...19/1800Z.

At 1800Z at KLAX... there was no marine inversion.

Mostly broken conditions will continue as the area is between
systems. MVFR conditions will continue with some local IFR thrown
in for good measure on the central coast late tonight into Monday
with trhe approach of the next storm.

KLAX and KBUR...MVFR conditions will predominate for the next 24
hours as another weaker storm system approaches the area from the
west. Light rain will become possible early on Presidents
Day...although a few light showers are even possible today.

&&

.MARINE...19/900 AM.

Made numerous changes to the forecast: gale warnings gone, small
craft advisories for 650 and 655 are cancelled. Otherwise, gusty
winds in the southern outer waters will subside this afternoon
while south winds increase in the northern waters by this evening.

&&

.LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...High Surf Advisory in effect until 10 PM PST this evening for
      zones 34-35-39>41-87. (See LAXCFWLOX).
