Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
1102 AM PDT Tue Apr 6 2021
.SYNOPSIS...06/747 AM.
Gusty northwest to north winds will wind prone areas like south
Santa Barbara County and the Antelope Valley through the weekend.
There will be areas of night through morning low clouds and fog
in many coastal and some valley areas through early next week.
Temperatures will be 5 to 10 degrees above normal in most areas
away from the immediate coast through early next week.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TDY-THU)...06/754 AM.
***UPDATE***
Forecast is in good shape this morning with no changes expected.
***From Previous Discussion***
Low clouds and fog were fairly widespread on the Central Coast,
the Santa Ynez Valley, across the interior valleys of SLO County,
and the lower slopes of the SBA and SLO County mountains. South
of Pt Conception, clouds were beginning to become organized
across coastal sections of L.A. County and the San Gabriel Valley,
and portions of the San Fernando Valley. At this point, not to
confident low clouds will make it into Ventura County this
morning, but there will be a slight chance a few patchy low clouds
will develop for a brief time later this morning.
Onshore gradients between KLAX and KDAG were a bit weaker this
morning, so low clouds should clear by afternoon in most areas.
However, low clouds could linger at the beaches on the Central
Coast into the afternoon. However, there will be a fair amount of
high cloudiness across the area today, so it should remain at
partly cloudy in most areas once any low clouds clear.
The pressure gradient between Santa Barbara and Santa Maria was
around -4.0 mb, and NW winds were still gusting to over 50 mph in
a few locations in southern SBA County, mainly through and below
passes and canyons from Refugio westward. Winds will likely drop
below advisory levels for several hours late this morning and
early this afternoon, but with KSBA to KSMX expected to increase
to over 4 mb offshore again this evening, there should be another
around of advisory level winds from late this afternoon through
late tonight mainly from Refugio westward once again. Therefore,
just extended the WIND ADVISORY for the mountains and south coast
of SBA County through late tonight.
While there will be some gusty winds in the Antelope Valley and
through the Highway 14 Corridor this afternoon and evening, expect
winds to remain safely below advisory levels there.
Rising heights and weakening onshore gradients should lead to a
couple of degrees of warming in most areas today.
The upper ridge will amplify across the region tonight and Wed.
The marine layer may shrink in depth a bit, with low clouds likely
to be somewhat less widespread in the valleys. There will likely
still be enough high clouds so that skies will be partly cloudy
through Wed even where there are no low clouds. Expect a couple
more degrees of warming in most areas on Wed.
An upper trough will swing through the Pac NW Wed night and Thu.
This will cause the upper level flow to become more west
northwesterly and increasing in strength over the forecast area.
Heights will fall slightly on Thu, but overall, do not expect much
change in the night through morning low cloud pattern or max
temps for Thu. There will be gusty NW-N winds from the late
afternoon through late night hours Wed and Thu across southern
SBA County, likely requiring advisories both days. On Thu, winds
will likely reach advisory levels in the Antelope Valley and
through the I-5 Corridor.
.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...06/447 AM.
Fairly strong west to northwest flow pattern aloft will continue
across the region into Sat, then the upper flow will weaken. N-S
gradients will likely peak Fri, so expect the strongest winds
across southern SBA County late Fri afternoon thru Fri night,
with strong WIND ADVISORY level or possibly low end HIGH WIND
WARNING level winds there. Also expect advisory level winds in the
Antelope Valley and through the Interstate 5 Corridor on Fri.
Advisory level winds are possible again across southern SBA County
again Sat evening, but they should not be as strong. Expect a bit
of cooling Fri and Sat. For Sun and Mon, the EC suggests little
change in max temps, while the GFS suggests some cooling. At this
point, have kept night thru morning low clouds confined to the
Central Coast and coastal sections of L.A. County and the San
Gabriel Valley, but confidence on the stratus forecast is low.
&&
.AVIATION...06/1801Z.
At 1100z at KLAX...the marine layer depth was around 2600 feet.
The top of the inversion was around 3400 feet with a temperature
of 14 degrees Celsius.
S of Point Conception...Low confidence in the coastal TAFs as a
strong eddy continues to muddy the situation, with tempo bkn
conditions through much of the afternoon. Moderate confidence in
the valleys and desert as VFR conditions will continue through the
afternoon there. The marine clouds will return sometime this
evening or late night, mainly from south to north in timing.
N of Point Conception...Moderate confidence with mainly low MVFR
CIGs returning along the coast this evening. KPRB will see marine
clouds return later tonight with a decent chance of MVFR ceilings.
KLAX... Low confidence in the 18Z TAF today with sea breeze
marine clouds possible this afternoon. Better confidence tonight
with MVFR conditions likely.
KBUR... High confidence in the 18Z TAF through 09Z, then low to
moderate confidence with the arrival of MVFR CIGS late.
&&
.MARINE...06/1050 AM.
For the Outer Waters... Northwest GALE WARNING winds have lowered
to Small Craft Advisory (SCA) thresholds. Winds have already
lowered to SCA levels for the northern zone (PZZ670) and there is
high confidence that all outer waters will continue to experience
SCA level NW winds through at least Saturday. There is a 40
percent chance of Gale force gusts Wednesday evening S of Point
Conception, with a higher chance around 50-60% for the entire
outer waters late Friday afternoon through early Saturday morning.
There is a good chance that a GALE WATCH will need to be issued
by later shifts for Wednesday afternoon and Friday afternoon
through early Saturday morning.
For the Inner Waters north of Point Sal... Intermittent SCA level
winds are likely through Friday, primarily during the afternoon
and evening hours.
For the Inner Waters south of Point Conception... Good confidence
in current SCA. The SCA has been extended for the western portion
of the Santa Barbara Channel through 3 AM Wednesday, in spite of
brief periods below criteria. Another chance for SCA level winds
develops Wednesday and Thursday afternoon over western portions
with even stronger winds possible Friday afternoon through the
overnight hours.
