What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale watch 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 gale watch went out at Feb 10, 9:29 PM PST, 4 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 10, 9:29 PM PST, 4 hours 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
929 PM PST Wed Feb 10 2021
.SYNOPSIS...10/642 PM.
It will be cool across the region through early next week. A weak
storm system will bring a chance of showers to the area Thursday
night into Friday. Another weak storm system will affect the area
late Saturday into Sunday. Neither storm looks as though it will
produce much precipitation, but the weekend storm will be much
colder with low snow levels, and snow possibly affecting portions
of Interstate 5.
&&
.SHORT TERM (WED-SAT)...10/720 PM.
***UPDATE***
Skies are clear this evening save for the Malibu strip and a few
beaches along the Central Coast. Sunshine and offshore trends
combined today to bring 5 to 10 degrees of warming to most of the
area today the notable exception being the LA coast where the
marine layer hung into the afternoon and max temps did not change
much at all.
There is offshore flow from the north and it is slowly increasing.
But the is not enough push to bring anything but low end advisory
level gusts through the i-5 corridor and SBA south coast.
The current forecast calls for low clouds to develop later this
evening and overnight with low clouds covering the LA/VTA coasts
as well as the San Gabriel Vly by dawn. The 00Z NAM does agree
with this thinking but the fact that there is little in the way of
low clouds now along with increasing northerly offshore flow there
is a good chc that there will be much less stratus tomorrow
morning.
00Z NAM offers no change in the rain forecast for Friday morning
with really only a chc of brief light rain.
Forecast is in good shape (with the caveat that there may be less
clouds) and now update is planned.
***From Previous Discussion***
Overall, 12Z models in excellent synoptic agreement through the
short term period. At upper levels, ridge will move over the area
tonight/Thursday with a low dropping southeast across interior CA
Thurday night/Friday with northwesterly flow prevailing on
Saturday. Near the surface, weak to moderate onshore flow will
prevail with some northerly offshore gradients during the
overnight hours.
Forecast-wise, tonight and Thursday look to be rather benign. Main
issue will be the potential for northerly winds this evening
through Thursday morning. Models indicate northerly gradients will
be a little stronger than last night, but upper level support is
minimal. So, will anticipate winds to be a little stronger tonight
than last night. So, will expect peak gusts 30-40 MPH across the
Santa Ynez Range and I-5 Corridor. Will hold off on any wind
advisories at this time, but there is a chance that winds could be
a bit stronger and more widespread. Otherwise, skies will be
mostly clear tonight except for some stratus south of Point
Conception. During the day on Thursday, expect increasing mid and
high level clouds ahead of storm system. As for temperatures,
expect some slight cooling north of Point Conception and some
slight warming south of Point Conception.
For Thursday night/Friday, upper low will drop southeast across
interior sections, bringing a threat of light precipitation to the
area. At this time, moisture and associated precipitation chances
are rather minimal. Will go with chance POPs for SLO/SBA counties
and slight chance POPs for Ventura/LA counties with "best" chances
Thursday night and Friday morning. Rainfall amounts, if any, look
to be quite light, generally under one tenth of an inch. As for
snow levels, expect them to remain rather high, around 6500 to
7000 feet. Along with the possibility of light showers, there will
be some gusty northerly winds across the area which could approach
advisory levels in the mountains.
For Friday night and Saturday, the unsettled weather is expected
to continue. Dry conditions will prevail Friday night and Saturday
morning. However, by Saturday afternoon, next weak system will
begin to move across the area. There will be a chance of light
showers across SLO/SBA counties Saturday afternoon with a slight
chance of showers developing over Ventura/LA counties Saturday
night. As for winds, expect some gusty west to northwest winds
through the day on Saturday.
.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...10/148 PM.
For the extended, 12Z models continue to exhibit good synoptic
agreement, indicating a rather quiet pattern into early next week.
For Sunday, system will move out of the area with shower chances
tapering off through the day. Through Sunday afternoon, rain
totals will be very light, once again under one tenth of an inch
for most areas. The one difference will be that snow levels will
drop down to around 4000 feet Sunday morning. So, there may be
some winter weather issues for the local mountain passes,
including the Grapevine, late Saturday night and Sunday morning.
For Monday through Wednesday, the area will be entrenched under a
northwesterly flow aloft. So, skies will likely waver between
partly cloudy and mostly clear as high clouds move through in the
northwesterly flow. Do not see much chance of any precipitation
at this time. One thing to watch will be northerly winds. Models
indicate some decent northerly gradients Monday through Wednesday.
So, gusty northerly winds will be likely across the area. As for
temperatures, expect a slight warming trend into the middle of
next week.

.AVIATION...11/0527Z.
At 0450Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 900 feet deep. The top of
the inversion was at 1500 feet and 12 degrees Celsius.
High confidence in desert TAFs.
Moderate confidence in coastal TAFs with a 30 percent chc of no
cigs at sites with cigs fcst and a 20 percent chc of IFR cigs
11Z-17Z at sites with no cigs fcst.
KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF 08Z-18Z...otherwise good
confidence. There is a 30 percent chc that there will be no cigs.
If cigs do arrive there is a 30 percent chc of BKN0008 and a 20
percent chc that clearing will not be until 18Z. High confidence
that there will be no easterly wind component greater than 6
knots.
KBUR...Moderate confidence in TAF 11Z-16Z...otherwise good
confidence. There is a 20 percent chc of BKN006 11Z-16Z.
&&
.MARINE...10/815 PM.
Outer Waters...High confidence in Small Craft Advisory (SCA)
level winds through late Thursday night, and likely through much
of the period. The Gale Warning has been cancelled as winds have
not increased to that level over the outer waters. Another GALE
WATCH might be needed south of Pt. Sal from Friday evening through
the overnight hours, especially for PZZ676. Models are indicating
a building long period swell moving into the coastal waters
Friday. Seas and winds will increase into the weekend, with a 30%
chance for GALE force winds.
Inner Waters N of Point Sal...SCA winds have subsided this
evening with the strongest winds near Point Sal. By Friday
morning, there is a 70% chance for stronger SCA W to NW winds.
Moderate confidence in SCA winds through the weekend along with
increasing seas.
Inner Waters S of Point Conception...There is a 50% chance of SCA
winds over the western SBA Channel Thursday afternoon and
evening, otherwise, winds will remain below SCA thresholds through
Thursday night. There is a 60% chance of more widespread NW winds
at SCA levels across the western portion of the entire inner
waters Friday and Friday night, with strong SCA winds possible
again Saturday night and Sunday. A long period NW-W swell could
bring building seas into the exposed areas of the SoCal Bight late
this weekend, adding to the hazardous conditions there.
