Area forecast discussion, Nov 12, 10:37 AM PST, 1 hour 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 1037 AM PST Thu Nov 12 2020 .SYNOPSIS...12/601 AM. Temperatures will remain below normal across most of the region through Friday, then slight warming is expected Saturday. Locally gusty sundowner winds are expected this evening. More widespread gusty northwest to north winds are expected Friday evening through Saturday evening across southern Santa Barbara County and near the Interstate 5 Corridor. Much warmer temperatures are expected Sunday and Monday with some gusty offshore winds, then cooler weather is expected by midweek. && .SHORT TERM (TDY-SAT)...12/859 AM. ***UPDATE*** Minimal updates to the forecast today. An upper level trough was sliding through southwest California this morning generating a few mid to high level clouds over the south coastal waters and LA County. Otherwise, we did see a narrow band of fog along the Santa Ynez River Valley from Lompoc to Vandenberg early this morning and patchy low clouds near Catalina Island. That's all dissipated so expect a repeat of yesterday with sunny and cool conditions along with typical afternoon seabreezes. NW winds did briefly gust over 30 mph at Gaviota last evening and expect at least that or a little higher this evening in that same area. Will also expect to see an increase in low clouds/fog for the LA Coast and more fog in the Santa Ynez River Valley of Santa Barbara County Friday morning. Northwest flow aloft will be on the increase across the state on Friday with minor temperature differences over today's highs. ***From Previous Discussion*** There will be some increase in N-S gradients across SBA County this evening, which could produce some gusty sundowner winds across southern SBA County. However, expect winds to remain below advisory levels. A very weak trough will swing across the region tonight and Friday morning. The WRF shows that some stratus may try to organize late tonight/Fri morning, mainly on the Central Coast and Santa Ynez Valley, and across coastal sections of L.A. County. Onshore gradients will Fri, so there will likely be some gusty winds in the Antelope Valley Fri afternoon. Max temps may drop a bit, but on the order of a couple of degrees at most. W to NW winds at mid and upper levels will increase late Fri and Fri night, and N-S gradients will sharpens. This should allow for stronger winds across southern SBA County Fri night, likely reaching at least low end advisory levels. Also, expect gusty NW winds across the mtns of L.A. and VTU Counties, particularly through the I-5 Corridor Fri night into Sat, winds winds possibly spreading into the Santa Clarita Valley, western and northern portions of the San Fernando Valley, and into the Santa Monica Mountains on Sat. The low cloud forecast for Friday night/Sat morning will be tricky, but will probably be confined to coastal sections of L.A. and possibly VTU Counties, and the Central Coast. In addition, moist northerly flow will likely cause clouds to pile up on northern slopes of the mtns of L.A. and VTU Counties and across interior portions of SLO and SBA Counties. Expect skies to clear in most areas by mid to late morning. There should be a few degrees of warming on Sat, especially in coastal and lower valley areas. .LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...12/338 AM. Heights will rise across the region on Sat night and Sunday. Offshore gradients will continue to increase, initially more northerly Sat night, then low level flow will being to turn more northeasterly on Sunday. Expect the focus of the winds to shift to locations favored by northeast winds, but it is still unclear whether that will happen Sunday, at least completely. In any event, expect gusty possibly advisory level winds in the mtns and possibly the valleys of L.A. and VTU Counties Sat night into Sunday, Skies should be clear across the region. Expect significant warming on Sunday, especially west of the mtns. It appears as though heights and thicknesses will peak across the region on Monday, and there will be a weak to moderate Santa Ana wind event. Expect Monday to be the warmest day, with max temps rising into the 80s in most coastal and valley areas, at least south of Pt. Conception. Would not be surprised if a few locations had max temps near or slightly above 90 degrees. Advisory level winds are possible Sun night/Mon morning, though it appears that the models have backed off slightly on the magnitude of the offshore gradients. A broad trough will begin to approach the West Coast on Tue. However, heights will still be high, and gradients will still be offshore in the morning. So, although some cooling is expected, max temps should still be well above normal. especially across interior sections. Additional cooling is expected on Wed as heights continue to fall and gradients turn onshore, but still expect temps to be above normal. && .AVIATION...12/1836Z. At 18Z at KLAX, there was no marine layer. High confidence in TAFs. Fairly low confidence in the forecast for the LA coast and central coast later tonight in regards to marine cloud incursion with possible LIFR conditions, otherwise good confidence in VFR conditions across the rermainder of the region. KLAX...Low confidence in the 18z TAF. There is a 40% chance of VFR conditions through the period. Good confidence that an east wind component will be 4 kt or less. KBUR...High confidence in CAVU TAF. && .MARINE...12/1031 AM. High confidence that winds and seas will remain below Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level through Friday morning. However,there is a 30% chance of SCA level winds Thursday afternoon and evening across the waters from Point Conception to San Nicolas Island. By Friday afternoon or Friday evening, there is a 60% chance of SCA level winds from Point Conception to San Nicolas Island, possibly spreading into the western portion of the Santa Barbara Channel. High confidence in widespread SCA level winds across all the outer waters, including across the Central Coast Saturday through Sunday night. There is a 30% chance of gale force gusts on Saturday. && .LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...NONE. PZ...NONE. && .HAZARD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK (SAT-WED). Very large high tides and high surf may result in minor coastal flooding Saturday through Monday, especially on the Central Coast. Gusty north winds Friday night and Saturday for south Santa Barbara Coast, I-5 corridor and possibly into the Santa Monica Mountains. Santa Ana winds Sunday and Monday with elevated fire weather conditions in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. && PUBLIC...EB/DB AVIATION...Sweet/Stewart MARINE...Sweet/Stewart SYNOPSIS...Sweet/DB weather.gov/losangeles
