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 Dec 25, 9:50 AM PST, 4 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 25, 9:50 AM PST, 4 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 950 AM PST Fri Dec 25 2020 update for new aviation discussion .SYNOPSIS...25/331 AM. Christmas will be a partly cloudy day with temperatures near normal. Then increasing clouds to the north. It will be cloudy and cooler with a chance of rain tonight into early Saturday mainly affecting the Central Coast on Saturday. Sunday will be cloudy and mostly dry except for a chance of Central Coast rain in the late afternoon. Rain will overspread the entire forecast Sunday night into Monday along with snow accumulations above 5000 ft. && .SHORT TERM (TDY-SUN)...25/809 AM. ***UPDATE*** Very nice Christmas day on tap for Srn CA today. There will be increasing high clouds over SLO and SBA county but VTA and LA counties should remain mostly sunny. Weak offshore flow and a pop up ridge will contribute about 10 degrees of warming (15 in the Antelope Vly) south of Pt Conception. Increasing onshore flow, however, will knock 5 to 8 degrees off of temps across the Central Coast. The weak system is a little slower than previously forecast and the light Central Coast rain will likely hold off until late evening or after midnight. No real change to the strength of the system - it will be weak with rainfall confined to SLO and western SBA county. Those areas can only expect a tenth of an inch or less, except up to a quarter inch around the coastal hills of extreme NW SLO County The Current forecast is in good shape and there will be no morning update. ***From Previous Discussion*** There will be plenty of clouds banking up against the northern slopes of the Ventura and Santa Barbara County Mtns as well as the eastern portion of SLO interior valleys Saturday where a few sprinkles could occur. Skies will become partly cloudy skies for most areas on Saturday. Saturday, widespread cooling up to 6 degrees across most areas with 10-15 degrees cooling across the interior portions of SBA and SLO Counties. By Sunday morning, skies will become mostly cloudy as a more significant storm system pushes in across the Central Coast initially Sunday evening before overspreading the entire forecast area late Sunday night into Monday. an elongated cold upper low (536DM) will start to rotate towards the Bay area with an associated trough moving across the forecast area. The track of the system now looks to not be quite as deep across SoCal, except the trough does dig and dive down once it moves past L.A. County and should affect San Diego with better lift dynamics to give them slightly more rain than Ventura and L.A. Counties. The main impacts of this storm system will occur on Monday and will give more details in the long term portion of the forecast discussion. .LONG TERM (MON-THU)...25/410 AM. As mentioned in the short term portion of the discussion, an elongated cold upper low (536DM) will start to rotate towards the Bay area with an associated trough Sunday moving across the forecast area initially Sunday evening, then overspread the entire forecast area late Sunday night into Monday. The track of the system now looks to not be quite as deep across SoCal, except the trough does dig and dives down past L.A. County into San Diego County with better lift dynamics to give them slightly more rain than Ventura and L.A. Counties. PWAT values are only around a half inch and with this cold system, rainfall totals are not expected to be very efficient, even in the elevated foothills of LA/VTU Counties. However, models do show some SW flow at the lower levels Monday morning while a 110 KT jet (Left Front quad) moves across the area. So there will be some decent PVA briefly. Both the NAM- WRF and GFS are not picking up on the heavier rainfall Monday morning across LA and VTU Counties, but the ECMWF does. So, although models are in agreement with timing aspects of this storm system, it seems rainfall totals will avg 0.25 to 0.50 inches except slightly higher for the San Gabriel Mtns, but EC advertising around 1.25" with this system. I feel SW facing slopes will see some enhanced rainfall, but not as efficient as I would like to see. Some potential impacts will be the possibilty of debris flow across recent burn areas, but as each successive model run comes in, it's hard to think peak rainfall-rates will exceed 0.33" per hour. It will be very cold aloft as the front pushes through and behind it which could cause some convective showers to develop. So I dont want to say there is no threat of minor debris flows, especially around the Bobcat Burn area, but will continue to monitor. Lastly, Snow levels will drop to 4000-5000 ft by early Mon, and to around 4000 ft or slightly lower Mon afternoon. Accumulating snowfall is likely to occur above these levels, with the potential for 2-5 inches except 4-8 inches across the Eastern San Gabriel Mtns above 5000 ft. The top of the Grapevine on Interstate 5 could see non accumulating snow Monday evening through the overnight hours, as most the precip will have pushed east As with most December rain events max temps will come in right around 60 degrees across the coasts and vlys or about 3 to 6 degrees blo normal. By Tue and Wed a ridge builds into the west coast and the gradients trend toward neutral bringing pleasant conditions. Skies will be partly cloudy and there will be 2 to 4 degrees of warming each day and by Wednesday cst/vly temps will be mostly range from the mid 60s to lower 70s. By Thursday more zonal flow aloft will continue to bring in seasonal temperatures with partly cloudy skies continuing over the forecast area. && .AVIATION...25/1748Z. At 1700Z, there was a surface-based inversion at KLAX. The top of the inversion was around 700 ft with a temperature of 16 deg C. Overall, expect just high clouds across the region today. Some mid level clouds will move into northern areas this evening as a weakening frontal system approaches the Central Coast. There could even be some MVFR cigs mainly north of Pt. Conception later tonight into Sat morning, and there could also be a few showers there later tonight. Otherwise and elsewhere, VFR conditions are expected thru Sat morning. KLAX...High confidence in the 18Z TAF with VFR conds thru Sat afternoon. KBUR...High confidence in the 18Z TAF with VFR conds thru Sat morning. && .MARINE...25/756 AM. For the Outer Waters, moderate to high confidence in the forecast. Small Craft Advisory (SCA) conds are not expected thru tonight. SCA level seas may affect the northern outer waters by Sat morning. SCA level seas are expected across the outer waters Sat afternoon thru Tue. Winds will be at or above SCA level most of that time, especially across the southern two zones (PZZ673/676). For the Inner Waters N of Pt. Sal, good confidence in the forecast. Winds and seas should remain below SCA levels thru tonight. Seas will likely be at or above SCA levels Sat thru Tue. There is a 40-50% chance of SCA level NW winds Sat afternoon/evening, and a 30% chance of SCA level NW winds in the afternoon/evening hours Sun thru Tue. For the Inner Waters south of Pt. Conception, low to moderate confidence in the forecast. Winds and seas are forecast to remain below SCA levels thru Tue. However, there is a 40% chance of SCA level winds across the SBA Channel and the southern inner waters during the afternoon and evening hours Sat through Mon, and a 30% chance Tue. && .LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA...NONE. PZ...NONE. && .HAZARD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK (SUN-THU). A winter storm system will move through the area on Sunday and Monday bringing potential driving impacts, especially late Monday when driving through mountain areas above 5000 ft. && PUBLIC...Kaplan/Rorke AVIATION...Sirard MARINE...DB/Sirard SYNOPSIS...Kaplan weather.gov/losangeles
