Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
554 PM PST Tue Dec 19 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
Mostly sunny skies today will give way to increasing clouds tonight
and Wednesday as a cold front moves through the area along with
possible showers for northern areas. Gusty offshore winds with
clearing skies and below normal temperatures will affect the area
Wednesday afternoon through Friday. Fair and milder conditions can
be expected Saturday, followed by another gusty offshore wind event
Sunday into Christmas Day.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(TDY-FRI)
A cold front pushing onshore across the Pac NW is turning
gradients onshore and resulting in a 3-6 degree cooling trend in
most areas today. Marine layer clouds are holding off the Central
Coast but should push inland and south overnight and reach all
coast and some coastal valleys by early Wednesday.
That front will slide south into northern CA later today and tonight
and into the Central Coast Wednesday. Models show it holding
together well enough to bring a decent shot of very light rain to
SLO county but decreasing chances going south into nrn SB County
and minimal chances south and east of there after crossing the
transverse range. The bigger impact aside from the oddity of
hydrometeors falling from the sky will be the expected increase in
northwest and north winds following the front Wednesday afternoon
and night, with the potential for 50 mph winds along the ridges
of the Santa Ynez Range Wednesday night. Current forecast
gradients during the evening there aren't impressive, only 2-3mb,
but stronger from the north later that night which would be a
bigger impact to the Thomas fire area east of San Marcos pass.
Also, winds aloft are 30-40 kt so with the subsidence there we
should see those stronger winds surfacing at least near the
ridges. Another day of cooling tomorrow with most lower elevation
areas in the low to mid 60s.
By Thursday and Friday we're back into a Santa Ana pattern with
the strongest northeast winds expected Thursday morning into early
afternoon. Wind advisories should suffice as gradients and upper
support aren't there for warning level winds. Temps will be
climbing with the coastal areas warmer than the valleys at least
for Thursday and less differential Friday as the air mass
moderates. But still mostly in the 60s. Overnight temperatures
however will be downright cold, especially in wind protected
areas. Portions of the Antelope Valley expected to drop into the
teens and as low as 10 degrees Thu/Fri mornings while some colder
mountain valleys drop into the single digits. Parts of the Central
Coast and the Ojai Valley will likely require freeze watches by
Friday morning with lows in the 20s as the winds drop off.
.LONG TERM...(SAT-TUE)
Pretty quiet day Saturday with a strong ridge along the West
Coast and weak gradients. Temps should warm up most areas but
especially inland.
Models have been bouncing around with the upper level pattern for
Sun/Mon, sometimes showing a much more coast-hugging trajectory of
the next trough. Today however both the GFS and ECMWF solutions
are favoring a much farther inland path which provides us with
much less upper support but still a sizable offshore gradient.
With the ensemble mean solution also favoring this scenario it
seems probable that the resulting offshore gradient won't be as
strong as the -9mb gradient the GFS is currently showing. Either
way, without the upper support Santa Ana winds will likely be
limited to advisory levels. However this would be a much warmer
event with the ridge aloft so temps expected to push 80 degrees by
Christmas Day.
Some cooling expected by Tuesday as gradients trend onshore but
still well above normal and dry. Longer range projections
(throwing out the goofy EC solution at 240hr) are favoring a
December shutout of precip across much of the southern portion of
our forecast area with the high pressure ridge remaining in place
through the end of 2017.

.AVIATION...20/0154Z.
At 00Z, the marine layer depth was around 450 feet deep at KLAX.
The top of the inversion around 1700 feet with a temperature near
15 degrees Celsius.
Moderate confidence in the current forecast. LIFR to IFR
conditions could linger longer than forecast, until between 15Z
and 17Z, then lift rapidly into the MVFR category. MVFR conditions
could linger up until the frontal boundary crosses over terminals.
Periods of moderate wind shear and turbulence are possible after
frontal passage.
KLAX...There is a 30 percent chance of conditions remaining one
category lower than forecast through 15Z.
KBUR...Sub-VFR conditions becoming likely after 13Z. There is a
30 percent chance VLIFR conditions between 13Z and 16Z.
&&
.MARINE...19/200 PM.
High confidence in winds and seas below Small Craft Advisory
(SCA) levels thru early Wed, with NW winds increasing rapidly Wed
afternoon across the outer waters and the northern inner waters.
SCA level winds are likely in these areas Wed afternoon thru late
Wed night, except into Thu morning across the southern two thirds
of the outer waters. There is a 40% chance of Gale Force winds
across the outer waters, so Gale Watches have been continued there
for Wed afternoon thru late Wed night. Later shifts can watch the
evolution of the models to make a final determination if gales are
necessary. Across the northern inner waters, there is a 20% of
gale force winds. Seas will likely also approach hazardous levels
during this time across the Outer Waters.
Across the SBA Channel and the southern inner waters, SCA level W
to NW winds are likely Wed evening, likely beginning in the afternoon
across the SBA Channel. Locally gusty NE winds are expected late
Wed night thru Thu morning across the eastern sections of the
southern inner waters and the SCA Channel. There is a 20-30%
chance of SCA level NE winds Thu morning.
Patchy dense fog with visibility one nautical mile or less is
possible across the coastal waters tonight.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...19/100 PM.
The Fire Weather Watch for the Santa Barbara County Mountains and
South Coast has been UPGRADED to a Red Flag Warning. It is in
effect from 6 pm Wednesday to 10 am Thursday. The Fire Weather
Watch for much of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties from 6 am
Thursday to 9 am Friday. A watch means that a Red Flag Warning
will likely be issued as we get closer to the event.
By Wednesday afternoon and evening, confident that the flow will
shift to northerly and strengthen over the wind prone areas
including the Santa Ynez Range and the Thomas Fire, as well as the
I-5 Corridor. Peak wind gusts will likely exceed 40 mph, with
gusts to around 60 mph possible which would be similar to
Saturday. While humidities will be above 15 percent Wednesday
night, dry fuels will remain. A Fire Weather Watch will remain for
much of Santa Barbara County as a result, especially in
consideration of the Thomas Fire. Portions of Ventura and Los
Angeles County south of the interior mountains may also approach
critical Wednesday night.
The winds will become northeasterly Thursday and Friday and shift
focus to Los Angeles and Ventura Counties and out of Santa Barbara
County. Significant drying will occur during this time and Red Flag
conditions are likely, resulting in a Fire Weather Watch. High
uncertainty remains for the Christmas weekend, but strong offshore
flow and very dry conditions are possible around Christmas Eve.
People need to be extremely cautious with potential ignition
sources, such as cigarettes, lawn/brush clearing equipment,
campfires, and welding torches.
