What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement 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 beach hazards statement went out at Apr 5, 10:57 AM PDT, 2 hours 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 10:57 AM PDT, 2 hours 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
1057 AM PDT Fri Apr 5 2019

updated aviation discussion

.SYNOPSIS...05/811 AM.

Cooler temperatures are expected as a few weak low pressure
systems bring clouds and a chance of light rain to the region for
today into early Saturday. Temperatures will warm up Sunday and
Monday, but another weak storm system will increase clouds,
keeping temperatures near normal. Some northern areas could see
showers late Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TDY-SUN)...05/912 AM.

***UPDATE***

Updated forecast mainly for the morning hours, by decreasing rain
chances and clouds over Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. Very
difficult forecast to peg down, as lower level remain moist but
the capping inversion has broken which will keep clouds from
becoming solid in coverage. By the afternoon, there should be more
clouds thanks to more daytime heating, but still unsure how solid
the coverage will be. The upper level trough will move through
the area today, and the potential for rain over SLO County and the
northern mountain slopes remains favorable, but the chances
everywhere else is not zero but fairly low. Any rainfall that does
occur will be very light and well under one tenth of an inch,
except for amounts up to 0.33 on the Santa Luica's of SLO County.
Gusty southwest to west winds are expected over the interior
areas and near the coast today, but will remain under advisory
levels.

***From Previous Discussion***

Lots of clouds will linger across the region tonight, and there
will be a slight chance of showers. Another weakening front will
bring a chance of showers to the region on Saturday, especially in
the morning, but most of the light measurable rain will again
remain north of Pt Conception. Skies could become partly cloudy in
the afternoon, and max temps may be up a couple of degrees. Snow
levels will be generally between 6500 and 7500 feet through Sat
morning, and little or no snow accumulation is expected in the
mountains.

An upper level ridge will build into the region Sat night/Sun,
and heights/thicknesses will rise sharply. Onshore gradients will
decrease. Expect partly cloudy across the region Sat night/Sun.
Max temps will jump significantly Sun, especially away from the
coast, with highs probably getting into the lower or possibly mid
80s in the valleys, and across the Antelope Valley. Increasing north
to south gradients should bring gusty to possibly advisory level
northwest winds to the Central Coast Sun afternoon and evening,
and to locations through and below passes and canyons across the
Santa Ynez Range and adjacent south coast of SBA County Sun
evening into Sun night. Gusty winds may also affect the Interstate
5 Corridor. Northerly winds could also cause an extra bump in
temps across portions of the Central Coast and the SBA County
south coast on Sunday.

.LONG TERM (MON-THU)...05/353 AM.

Heights and thicknesses will rise a bit more across the region on
Monday as the axis of the upper ridge moves into southern
California. In addition, N-S gradients will remain offshore, and
W-E gradients will be weakly offshore in the morning. Max temps
could climb well into the 80s in the valleys areas and across the
Antelope Valley. Locally gusty north winds will likely continue to
affect south coastal sections of SBA County and the I-5 Corridor
Monday.

An upper low will move quickly into northern CA Mon night, then
into Nevada on Tue with a trough extending into the region. The
southern end of its associated surface front could bring some
showers to mainly northern areas and the mountains Mon night into
Tue. There should be significant cooling across much of the region
Tue.

Sharp north to south gradients should bring gusty north winds to
the SBA County south coast and the I-5 corridor Tue into Tue
night. Winds will likely reach at least advisory levels, and
possibly High Wind Warning levels in some areas if the models are
correct.

The trough will move into the Rockies on Wed. Another upper low
will move into the Pac NW on Wed, then this upper low will drop
down the West Coast on Thu. Falling heights and thicknesses will
bring a cooling trend to the region Wed and Thu, with max temps
dropping to below normal levels. This system could bring some
showers to the region late Thu into Thu night.
