What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Dec 22, 8:56 PM PST, 47 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 22, 8:56 PM PST, 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
856 PM PST Wed Dec 22 2021

.SYNOPSIS...22/130 PM.

Unsettled weather will prevail across the area with periods of
rain through Sunday morning, heaviest Thursday into early Friday.
Snow levels will remain quite high today and Thursday but will
drop significantly Friday night into Saturday. Temperatures will
be significantly below normal across the region.

&&

.SHORT TERM (WED-SAT)...22/855 PM.

***UPDATE***

A moisture plume that moved into SLO/SBA Counties this afternoon has
sagged S and E a little bit this evening into western VTU County.
Steady light to occasionally moderate rain has been falling in these
areas over the past 6-12 hours or more, altho the plume has moved
S of where the heaviest rainfall has been in far NW SLO County.
Highest rainfall totals have been in and around the Santa Lucia
Range and near San Simeon along the coast. Rocky Butte has
totaled 1.77 inches thus far, while San Simeon has had 1.58
inches. Most areas further S have had 0.33 to 0.75 inch or so, but
tapers to 0.25 inch or less for western VTU County.

Overnight, the plume of moisture will remain nearly stationary
but slowly expand S and E into the rest of VTU County and at least
western L.A. County, especially later tonight. Additional
rainfall overnight will be greatest across SBA and western VTU
County where 0.25-0.75 inch or more should fall. In addition,
gusty mainly sub-Advisory level S winds will spread across much
of SLO/SBA Counties and the foothills and mtns of VTU/L.A.
Counties as the night progresses. Current fcst looks good and no
changes are expected.

***From Previous Discussion***

Overall, not much change in the forecast. Ensembles now in fairly
good agreement and perhaps a notch heavier with the rain amounts,
especially in south and southwest facing foothills and mountains.
Expected totals now are very similar to the last storm, 1-3"
coast and 3-6 foothills/mountains, though over a longer duration
with lower peak rain rates. Peak period for rain appears to be
Thursday for SLO County, Thursday afternoon and evening for Santa
Barbara County, and Thursday night into Friday morning for Ventura
and LA Counties. Southerly flow is roughly half of what last
week's storm generated and like the last system really not much
chance of convection. There's a short period late Thursday night
into Friday when the front moves through where there is some very
low level instability and some diffluence in the jet stream but
once again a strong inversion around 13000' will put a damper on
any convection. Given that there were just very minor and overall
fairly typical responses in and near the burn scars with the last
event it seems unlikely there will be anything worse than that
with this event. So at this point do not foresee the need for any
flash flood watches with this event.

Like with the last system snow levels will be very high to start
off with, mostly 9000' or higher. They don't come down below 8000'
until at least Friday afternoon and by that time the bulk of the
system has passed to the east. However, Friday night into Saturday
snow levels do lower fairly quickly and with a good chance of some
post-frontal showers on Christmas day there may be some light
snow chances down to 5000'. Not expecting any issues on the
Grapevine with this event until possibly Saturday night into early
Sunday when additional cold arrives and snow levels fall to
3500-4000'. At that point an inch or two of snow is possible at
pass level.

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...22/152 PM.

Lingering showers are possible early Sunday as the last wave of
mostly light precip moves through. Then the rest of the day should
be dry, giving southwest California a brief break in the wet
weather. However, models continue to advertise additional storms
next week, a fairly weak system Monday into early Tuesday followed
by a stronger one late Wednesday into Thursday.

.AVIATION...23/0129Z.

At 00Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 500 feet deep with an
inversion at 1300 feet at 16 degrees C.

Widespread IFR to LIFR cigs and rain north of KSBA will slowly
work their way south tonight into tomorrow. After 12Z Thu, MVFR
(or possibly lower) cigs will move into KLAX, along with some
rain, and east to southeast winds.

KLAX...Moderate confidence in the 00Z TAF. There is a 20-30%
chance of MVFR cigs as early as 09Z tonight. There is a 20%
chance of IFR cigs between 18Z and 22Z Thu. Moderate confidence
in east to southeast winds of 10 to 12 knots beginning at 17Z
Thu, but possibly as early as 12Z.

KBUR...Moderate to high confidence in the 00Z TAF with VFR conds
expected thru the pd. There is a 20-30% chance of MFVR cigs as
early as 12Z.

&&

.MARINE...22/102 PM.

Across the outer waters, SE-S winds may get close to Small Craft
Advisory (SCA) levels this afternoon and tonight across the
northern zone (PZZ670), and there is a 30% chance that a SCA will
have to be issued for that zone. At this point, we will hold off
from issuing an SCA. SCA conds are not expected thru tonight. SCA
level S winds are likely in the northern two zones (PZZ670/673)
Thu/Thu night, possibly into early Fri, with a 40% chance of SCA
level S winds in the southern zone (PZZ676). Winds will shift to W
by Fri afternoon, then winds and seas will be near or above SCA
levels thru Sun.

Across the inner waters north of Pt Sal, there is a 40-50% chance
of SCA level SE-S winds Thu into early Fri, then a 40% chance of
SCA level W winds and seas Fri afternoon/evening. Winds should be
below SCA levels Sat and Sun, but seas will be close to SCA levels.

Across the inner waters south of Pt Conception, there is a 30-40%
chance of SCA level SE winds in the SBA Channel Thu night and
early Fri, with spreading into the southern inner waters Fri
morning. Then there is a 40-50% chance of SCA level SW-W winds Fri
afternoon and evening. There is a 40% chance of SCA level W-NW
winds Sun.

.LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CA...NONE.
PZ...NONE.

&&

.HAZARD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK (SAT-WED).

An unsettled weather pattern will bring periods of rain and
mountain snow to the region through the middle of next week. The
rain could create slick roads and some travel delays along with
moderate snow accumulations and wintry driving conditions to the
mountains.
