Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
958 AM PST Tue Dec 22 2020
.SYNOPSIS...22/943 AM.
Temperatures will be significantly cooler today as onshore flow
has returned. Gusty Santa Ana winds will return Wednesday and
Thursday with near normal temperatures. There's a chance of rain
for late Friday and Saturday, mainly north of Point Conception,
then for all areas late Sunday into Monday.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TDY-THU)...22/951 AM.
Temperatures have cooled significantly just as expected this
morning with the switch to onshore flow, and is on pace to end up
10 to 15 degrees cooler for highs compared to yesterday's. The
one exception is the Antelope Valley which has warmed quite a bit
this morning and will see little change in today's highs. Also
some gusty southwest winds in some of the AV foothill locations
and its western sections. This combined with humidities in the
teens will create some elevated to brief critical fire concerns
for those spots today. Will also have some gusty northeast winds
over the San Luis Obispo County coastal foothills later today and
this evening.
Otherwise a fairly quiet day on tap under sunny skies and in
advance of active conditions with tomorrow's moderate to strong
Santa Ana, followed by a couple of precipitation episodes in the
remainder of the 7-day forecast. Current forecast looks pretty
much on track based on latest model guidance as offshore pressure
gradients kick in tomorrow morning in earnest and northeast winds
picking up in typical Santa Ana corridor of LA and VTU County
mountains, then making their way down into the valleys and coasts.
Wind advisories will be needed across these areas for early
tomorrow into at least early Thu morning. Some question as to
whether there will be widespread and strong enough winds to
justify a warning in the mountains, but current thinking is those
stronger winds (gusts around 60 mph) will generally be localized.
See updated fire wx discussion below for more details on today's
fire concerns in the AV and on the upcoming Santa Ana event.
***From previous discussion***
There will be another offshore push Wednesday night as offshore
gradients increase in reaction to the approach of a low pressure
system. The peak of the wind will be somewhat unusual occuring
around midnight and then diminishing as the upper level flow
switches to the SW ahead of the upper low.
The upper low to the west of the state will open up into a trof
and move over Srn Ca during the day. The low level moisture is not
impressive and do not think there will be any measurable rainfall
across the coasts and vlys but there may be some sprinkles. Across
the mtns there will be slight chc of some rain, but if it does rain
there will be no more than a tenth of an inch. Snow level will be
rather low and there will be a 20 percent chc of snow in the air
(but not sticking to the ground) across the Grapevine.
Regardless of if it rains or not, it will be cloudy day.
.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...22/342 AM.
Christmas Day will be quite nice. Skies will clear and will be
partly cloudy at worst. Weak offshore flow and rising hgts
courtesy of a weak pop up ridge will bring 3 to 6 degrees of
warming to the area. Max temps across the csts/vlys will mostly
range from the mid 60s to the lower 70s.
Then Friday night into early Saturday an upper low moves into the
PAC NW and sets up brisk westerly flow over Srn CA. A little
ripple move through this flow and will bring a chance or slight
chance of rain to SLO and SBA counties as well as the mtns of VTA
county. The chc of rain will end around noon Saturday. There is
only marginal dynamics and moisture with this system and it will
likely drop only a tenth to a quarter inch of rain. The exception,
as always, will be the far NW corner of SLO county which could see
a half inch of rainfall. South of Pt Conception skies will likely
remain partly cloudy with temps similar to Friday's.
All eyes on Sunday and Monday and the first non trivial storm will
move over the area. A cool 540 dam upper low will move to west of the
Bay Area later Sunday afternoon. It will then move to the west and
close to the Bay Area Sunday evening before pushing SW into Srn CA
Monday. A slight chc of rain will develop north of Pt Conception
Sunday afternoon but will likely hold off until Sunday night.
While a chc of rain will occur Sunday night for area south of Pt
Conception the best chc will be after dawn Monday. There might be
a little convection Monday afternoon as the core of the upper low
swings through with a core temp near -27C. Precipitation totals
this far away from the event are always a little suspect but right
now this looks like a half inch to an inch event. Also...while
the 6 hour pops are all under 50 percent due to timing issues
there is actually a very high percentage chc of rain on Monday.

.AVIATION...22/1757Z.
At 1657Z at KLAX, The marine layer was around 500 ft deep. The
top of the inversion was 2800 ft. The temperature at the top of
the inversion was 16 degrees C.
High confidence for inland terminals.
Low confidence for coastal terminals. VFR conditions exist at all
TAF sites currently. The difficult question is the timing of
marine cloud arrival this evening at KLAX and KLGB and the current
estimate could be off by 2 or more hours. Marine clouds could
return to the LA coast as early as 01z. There is a 30 percent chc
of 1/4SM FG at KLAX, KSMO and KLGB from 06z to 13z. Low clouds
could arrive back at KLAX, KSMO and KLGB any time after 01Z.
Additionally, there is a 30 percent chance of low clouds entering
the Salinas Valley from the east and causing LIFR conditions at
KPRB overnight.
KLAX...Low confidence in 18z TAF. There is a 30 percent chc of
1/4SM FG between 06z-13z. Low confidence in timing of return of
low clouds after 01Z this evening. Current estimate could be off
by 2 or more hours.
KBUR...Good confidence in 18z TAF.
&&
.MARINE...22/927 AM.
Moderate confidence in the current forecast. Gusty northwest winds
will expand southward across the coastal waters from northwest through
southwest of the Channel Islands. Small Craft Advisory remain in effect
through late tonight. There is a 40 percent chance that SCA level winds
may develop across the nearshore waters along the Central Coast this
afternoon and evening, with less chance for the western portion
of the Santa Barbara Channel.
On Wednesday morning, Santa Ana winds are expected to develop across
LA and Ventura Counties. Latest high resolution models are now
showing strong gusts to 35 knots across the usual Santa Ana wind
prone areas between Ventura to Santa Monica and out to the Channel
islands, and a secondary not quite as strong area across the San
Pedro Channel to Avalon Harbor starting Wednesday morning and
continuing through Wednesday before diminishing some after
midnight into Thursday morning. A GALE WATCH has been issued
valid from 4 AM Wed morning through Wednesday evening, mainly
highlighting the area from Ventura to Santa Monica and out to the
Channel Islands. The Gale Force gusts should not start before 8
am, but a small craft advisory could start late tonight. A strong
Small Craft Advisory (SCA) is likely across the San Pedro Channel
to Catalina Island. The potential for gusty winds will continue
into Thursday, albeit a little weaker, but still the potential for
SCA level gusts.
Elsewhere, good confidence that winds and seas will remain below
SCA level for Wednesday through Friday.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...22/920 AM.
Onshore flow to the east has developed this morning. West to
northwest winds will increase through the day, especially across the
interior areas where gusts of 25 to 35 mph will be common. These
onshore winds combined with continued low humidities between 8 and 20
percent will bring elevated to brief critical fire weather
conditions across the mountains, Santa Clarita Valley, and Antelope
Valley today.
Gusty Santa Ana winds are expected to increase rapidly across Los Angeles
and Ventura counties early Wednesday morning, then peak in strength
Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night when there is the potential
for wind gusts of 40 to 60 mph across wind favored areas. Humidity
levels are expected to fall to around 15 percent by late Wednesday
morning, then lowering to between 3 and 10 percent Wednesday
afternoon into Thursday morning. An approaching upper level low pressure
system is also expected to help induce increasing east to southeast
winds with associated dry air across interior sections of San Luis
Obispo county Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The threat of
critical fire weather conditions combined with very dry fuels will
bring the potential for rapid fire spread, long range spotting, and
extreme fire behavior with any new fire ignitions. The Fire Weather
Watches will likely be converted to Red Flag Warnings today.
Confidence is high with the strengthening Santa Ana winds and
significant drying by Wednesday afternoon and evening, with lower
confidence in how quickly the lower levels of the atmosphere will
moisten up on Thursday.
A weak upper level low pressure system is expected to track over the
area Thursday afternoon or evening bringing increasing humidity
and lighter winds along with a slight chance of light showers over
the mountains.
