What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Los Angeles, CA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Feb 21, 9:41 PM PST, 4 hours 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 21, 9:41 PM PST, 4 hours 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
941 PM PST Wed Feb 21 2018
.SYNOPSIS...21/921 PM.
The low may bring possible precipitation and breezy winds on
Thursday, and should keep the temperatures below normal into
Saturday. A high will move in by early next week to warm the
temperatures to normal. Then another low should bring possible
precipitation from Monday night into Tuesday night, with a cooling
trend into midweek.
&&
.SHORT TERM (WED-SAT)...21/940 PM.
Another weak trough of low pressure is exiting the region tonight.
Primarily clear skies continue across the area, except for a few
clouds banked up along the northern slopes of the mountains and
over the Central Coast this evening. Northerly winds are close to
advisory levels across southern Santa Barbara County this
evening, but the gradients is starting to relax. No wind advisory
issuance is expected for tonight.
With clearing skies, radiative cooling process will become more
efficient. Most areas will see at least patchy frost across the
area, except the immediate coastal locales south of Point
Conception. Frost Advisories were expanded into the San Fernando
and Santa Clarita Valley, the Ventura County Coastal Valleys and
the Santa Monica Mountains for late tonight through Thursday
morning. A Freeze Warning was also added for the Ventura County
Interior Valleys.
A trough of low pressure over the Pacific Northwest Coast will
drop south into the region through Friday. Strong onshore
pressure gradients will likely develop ahead of the trough and a
Wind Advisory was added for the Los Angeles County Mountains and
the Antelope Valley for Thursday and Thursday evening. Wind
Advisory decisions were tabled for now across the Central Coast
and the Ventura County Coast as not enough confidence exists just
yet. Future shifts could extend or expand these advisories. A
northerly pressure gradient develops in the wake of the trough and
this could impact southern Santa Barbara County and the Interstate
5 corridor. PoPs have been nudged up slightly for Thursday and
Thursday night, though most attention was paid to the frost/freeze
products tonight into Thursday and winds on Thursday and Thursday
night. PoPs look agreeable for now, but some touch-ups on the
wetter side could occur by future shifts.
*** FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ***
Another trough, this one a little colder and wetter will come
through late Thursday into Friday morning. Like this one (and many
before it) it will take a mostly inside track through the Great
Basin so it doesn't have a lot of moisture to work with and mostly
west to northwest flow which isn't conducive to precip,
especially south of Pt Conception. Still, some pops are warranted
and it will likely sprinkle or shower in many places by early
Friday with the best chances in the north, eastern LA County, and
the north facing slopes near the Kern County. This include the
Grapevine which should see some light snow showers Thu night into
Friday morning as the snow level will be at or just below 3000 ft.
Snow amounts likely to be 1-2" at most but impacts still expected
on Interstate 5 over the Grapevine and other mountain roads in
that area. Rain amounts at lower elevation expected to be a
quarter inch or less and in most areas much less.
After the second trough moves through Friday morning low level
winds will shift to north and northeast and the air mass will dry
out considerably. Likely some gusty north winds again through the
Santa Ynez range and the I5 Corridor through Saturday morning,
with some of that filtering down into the valleys. Temps Fri about
the same as Thu, though colder in the mountains and AV. Then
turning warmer Saturday (though still a few degrees below normal)
as the air mass starts to rebound and light offshore flow
develops.
.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...21/142 PM.
A third trough will come through late Sat into Sun but this one
will be even farther east and its only impact will be to
strengthen offshore gradients and create some locally gusty
northeast winds and warmer temps. A fourth trough will drop south
along the coast of California Monday afternoon into early Tuesday.
Again minimal moisture to work with due to it's unfavorable
trajectory but enough to give most of the area at least a threat
of light precip by Monday night. GFS ensembles match up pretty
well with the operational GFS with best chances again north of Pt
Conception, eastern LA County and the Grapevine area. MOS Guidance
favors similar temps Monday but with the strong onshore push ahead
of that night's trough at least the immediate coast should see
some cooling Monday. Then several degrees of cooling Tuesday with
any rain chances ending during the afternoon as winds shift to
north and drying begins. Slightly warmer Wednesday post-trough and
with some light offshore flow.
&&
.AVIATION...22/0016Z.
At 00Z, the marine layer depth was around 1300 feet.
VFR conditions are expected through at least 10Z, then there is a
chance of MVFR conditions with light rain showers through the
remainder of the period. There is a chance that MVFR ceilings
could be 1000-1500 feet lower than forecast for some terminals.
There is a chance of moderate wind shear at KSBA through 08Z.
Moderate to strong wind shear and turbulence is possible at all
terminals after 20Z.
KLAX...VFR conditions are expected through at least 10Z. There is
a 30 percent chance of MVFR conditions between 10Z and 19Z
increasing to 50 percent chance after 19Z. There is a chance that
MVFR ceilings could be 1000-1500 feet lower than forecast for
some terminals. Moderate wind shear and turbulence is possible
after 20Z. Any east winds will remain less than 7 knots.
KBUR...VFR conditions are expected through at least 16Z. There is
a 30 percent chance of MVFR conditions between 16Z and 19Z
increasing to 50 percent chance after 19Z. There is a chance that
MVFR ceilings could be 1000-1500 feet lower than forecast for
some terminals. Moderate to strong wind shear and turbulence is
possible after 20Z. There is a 20 percent chance of cross winds
greater than 10 knots after 20Z.
&&
.MARINE...21/839 PM.
For the Outer Waters, moderate confidence in the current
forecast. Locally gusty winds near Point Conception are expected
to subside overnight. Winds will likely increase to advisory
levels again Thursday afternoon, with a good chance of gales
developing late Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening. The
strong winds will persist through midnight into early morning
Friday, then return to Small Craft Advisory levels...which will
likely persist through the weekend. There will be a chance of
gales again late in the period.
For the Inner Waters, moderate confidence in current forecast.
Winds will be below Small Craft Advisory level tonight, aside from
locally gusty winds in the western Santa Barbara Channel. Small
craft advisory level winds are likely late Thursday afternoon and
Thursday night with local gale force gusts across the western
portions. There is a 30% chance that a Gale Warning will be needed
for the western portions of the inner waters.
