County and across the mtns, while and wave clouds to the lee of
the Tehachapi Mtns persisted over the Antelope Vly. These wave
clouds were associated with strong NW winds coming off the
Tehachapi's with some gusts near 60 mph earlier. The wave clouds
will dissipate thru mid afternoon as winds weaken. Elsewhere,
partly cloudy skies overall will continue thru sunset. Temps
this afternoon will be a few degrees below normal for many areas.
Highs across the coast and vlys will be in the 60s to around 70.
Good onshore pressure gradients continued into early this
afternoon with LAX-DAG at +5.6 mb at 20Z. In addition, offshore
northerly gradients increased quite a bit into early this
afternoon. These gradients helped to bring strong and gusty NW
winds to the SBA/VTU/L.A. County mtns, SBA County S coast, and
Antelope Vly. The winds will diminish some thru late today, except
linger over southern SBA County where Wind Advisories will
continue thru 9 PM this evening. Otherwise, breezy to gusty
onshore flow can be expected for the coast and some vlys this
afternoon.
The area will be under a broad NW flow aloft the rest of today
then an upper level ridge will move into the area tonight into Sun
morning with H5 heights peaking around 576-578 dm. A weak upper
level disturbance will move into the area Sun afternoon and
evening with H5 heights lowering to 573-576 dm. The broad NW flow
aloft will return for Sun night and Mon with H5 heights around
572-574 dm. Upper level ridging should gradually move into the
area later Mon night into Tue, with H5 heights up to 574-576 dm
for Tue afternoon.
There will be a slight chance to chance of rain over SLO/SBA
Counties Sun afternoon into Sun evening as a dissipating cold front
moves into the area. Additional light pcpn will be possible on the N
mtn slopes Sun night into Mon morning, with snow possibly down to
5000 to 5500 ft late in the period. Any pcpn over northern areas
will be on the light side, generally less than 0.10 inch, except
locally up to 0.25 inch in the far NW SLO County foothills.
Otherwise, skies over swrn CA tonight thru Mon will be partly to
mostly cloudy for the most part as a mix of low, mid and hi clouds
affect the area, altho tonight into Sun morning should be mostly
clear at times over VTU/L.A. Counties with dry offshore flow.
Partly cloudy skies will linger Mon night while Tue should be
mostly sunny across the region.
Offshore gradients to the east will quickly increase tonight into
Sun morning (NAM fcst LAX-DAG -6.4 mb at 12Z Sun, a -8.8 mb 24-hour
model trend), with gusty NE winds expected over the usual wind-prone
areas of VTU/L.A. Counties. There will be the possibility of local
Advisory-level wind gusts in some areas, but overall winds should
remain just below advisory levels due to the lack of significant
upper level support. Northerly gradients will again increase Sun
night into Mon then persist into Tue, with another round of gusty
N winds near Advisory levels expected, especially over the
SBA/VTU/L.A. County mtns and SBA County S coast.
Temps are forecast to change little for Sun then cool to a few
degrees below normal for Mon. It should turn slightly warmer to
near or a few degrees above seasonal norms for Tue. Highs over
the coast and vlys will be in the 60s to around 70 on Sun, cool
to mostly in the 60s on Mon, then warm into the mid 60s to low 70s
for Tue.
.LONG TERM (WED-SAT)...12/141 PM.
The EC and the GFS are in generally good agreement for the
Wed thru Sat time period. Upper level ridging will persist into
Wed. An upper level trof and surface front will move into the area
later Wed night thru Thu evening. Weak upper level ridging can be
expected Fri and Sat, except the EC has a weak upper level trof
passing by to the N late Fri night into early Sat. However, the EC
mean ensembles H5 charts do not indicate this trof.
Partly to mostly cloudy skies can be expected Thu with a surface
cold front and upper level trof. There will also be a slight
chance of rain mainly over western SLO County Thu morning.
Otherwise clear to partly cloudy skies with dry conditions are
expected thru the extended period. Gusty NW to NE winds will be
possible at times with periods of decent offshore pressure
gradients to the N and E, especially Wed and again Fri into Sat.
Temps will turn several degrees above normal on Wed, cool some Thu
and Fri, then warm back to a few degrees above normal on Sat.

.AVIATION...12/1900Z.
At 18Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 2200 feet deep. The top of
the inversion was at 3200 feet with a temperature of 13 C.
Very low confidence in CIG and VIS forecast, with chaotic low
cloud pattern over coasts and valleys and BLDU in the deserts.
Moderate confidence in VFR everywhere after 06Z with offshore
flow, except for low confidence low clouds at KPRB SBP KSMX.
KLAX...Low confidence MVFR occurrences through 01Z. Moderate
confidence in VFR after 03Z through Sunday. Moderate confidence in
any east wind staying below 08 KT.
KBUR... Low confidence MVFR occurrences through 23Z. Moderate
confidence in VFR after 00Z through Sunday. Moderate confidence in
northwest winds 22-03Z, low confidence on timing and strength.
&&
.MARINE...12/128 PM.
High confidence in Small Craft Advisory (SCA) winds and/or seas
through this evening over almost all waters. Widespread west to
northwest winds between 15 and 30 knots will continue to generate
short period seas everywhere. High confidence these winds and
seas will quickly improve later tonight into Sunday. Northeast
winds will form over the waters from Ventura through Orange County
on Sunday, with a 10% chance of touching SCA from Ventura through
Santa Monica. Moderately confident that any east winds that
reach Avalon Harbor will stay below 10 knots. Similar but
slightly weaker setup expected Monday and Tuesday, with gusty SCA
northwest winds followed by weak northeast winds. A large and
long-period west to northwest swell will impact the area Sunday
night into Tuesday. This swell could result in breaking waves over
the harbor entrances of Morro Bay and Ventura, especially on
Monday. Large breaking waves are also expected near shore. SCA
will likely be issued for the large swell as well.
&&
.BEACHES...12/134 PM.
A large (10-15 feet Central Coast, 4-8 feet Santa Barbara to LA)
longer period (15-18 seconds) west to northwest swell will impact
the area Sunday night through Tuesday. High Surf Advisories will
be issued for for the Central Coast Sunday afternoon through at
least Tuesday (possibly all week) and for Ventura County Sunday
night through Tuesday. There is a chance Los Angeles County will
also need a low end High Surf Advisory Monday and Tuesday, but
will issue a Beach Hazards Statement instead.
Meanwhile, large high tides between 7.0 and 7.4 feet are likely
each morning Sunday through Tuesday. While the swell is not as
large as the one from earlier this week, the tides are much
higher. This combination will likely result in coastal flooding
impacts such as flooded sandy beaches, harbor walkways, beach bike
paths, and beach parking lots. These threats are mainly for Monday
morning when the tides and surf peak. Coastal flooding of roads
or buildings are NOT expected.
