Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
940 AM PST Mon Jan 11 2021
.SYNOPSIS...11/316 AM.
Mostly clear skies are expected into the weekend. There will be
areas of gusty north to northeast winds across Ventura and Los
Angeles Counties through Tuesday, and again later in the week into
the weekend. Daytime temperatures will be slightly above normal
through Tuesday, then well above normal by Thursday and Friday.
Slight cooling is expected over the weekend, but temperatures
will still be above normal.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TDY-WED)...11/939 AM.
***UPDATE***
A weak upper level short wave moving north of the area is
maintaining locally gusty northeast winds across the area but with
the exception of a few isolated locations in the Santa Susanna
Mtns and far eastern Simi Valley the winds are below advisory
levels and should remain that way. So all wind advisories have
been cancelled. Another mild day across the area today with highs
4-8 degrees above normal.
Light to moderate offshore gradients expected to continue through
Wednesday but with minimal upper support to work with so just
some locally breezy northeast winds expected. Increasing high
clouds expected Tuesday from a system passing north of the area
and most of Tuesday will likely be generally overcast, especially
northern areas.
***From Previous Discussion***
The short wave will move east-southeastward across northern
Mexico and into Texas tonight and Tue. Offshore gradients will
continue, but will be weaker. Upper support for winds will be
minimal. Expect some gusty northeast winds across the mtns and
valleys of L.A./VTU Counties late tonight and Tue, but winds will
remain below advisory levels in most areas. Although heights and
thicknesses will rise a bit Tue, there will be quite a bit of high
cloudiness which will likely offset any warming in the
atmosphere. There could again be some patchy low clouds and fog on
the Central Coast late tonight/Tue morning, but that is still in
question.
An upper high in the Pacific to the southwest of the forecast
area will strengthen to anomalously strong levels Tue night/Wed
and slowly approach the coast. Low level flow will remain offshore,
enough for some locally gusty northeast winds again in the mtns
and valleys of L.A./VTU Counties Tue night and Wed. However, winds
should remain well below advisory levels. Heights/thicknesses will
rise across the region, as will temps at 850 mb and 950 mb. Expect
several degrees of warming Wed, with temps in the warmest locations
west of the mountains likely getting close to 80 degrees. There
will likely still be some high clouds, but less so than on Tue.
.LONG TERM (THU-SUN)...11/457 AM.
A strong upper high will remain anchored off the coast of
southwestern CA Thu and Fri, with heights and thicknesses peaking
across the region. The upper high will become elongated in a north
to south fashion, with northerly flow aloft over CA. There will
be rather strong N-S gradients Wed nigh through Sat, peaking Thu
night or Fri night depending upon which operational model one
believes. In any event, there will likely be periods of gusty
northerly winds during that entire time. Max temps will likely
jump a few more degrees on Thu, with highs rising into the lower
to mid 80s in the warmest locations in coastal and valley areas.
Expect little change in max temps on Fri, and if anything there
could be a touch of warming.
An upper trough moving across northern CA into Nevada will likely
bring some cooling to the region, with gusty northerly winds,
though temps will still be above normal. Heights rise again Sun
and low level flow will turn more northeasterly, though exactly
how strong varies by model. Temps should remain above normal. and
gusty NE winds will affect portions of L.A. and VTU Counties.
