Mtns through this morning. The Winter Storm Warning has been
cancelled as snowfall was not a factor. However there will
continue to be dangerous icy conditions across mountain roadways
and Highways. The I-5 Corridor has been closed due to the icy
conditions through the Tejon Pass. Locally gusty northerly winds
will continue through this morning across the Mountains and
Antelope Valley and some interior locations across SLO/SBA
Counties, but should remain below advisory levels. Will likely
cancel most wind advisories with the morning package except will
leave Catalina Island under a wind advisory through this morning
as gusts over 40 mph continue. A High Wind Watch will be issued
for possible damaging southerly winds with gusts exceeding 60 mph
for the San Luis Obispo Mountains from 3 AM Wednesday through
Thursday at 9 AM. Also, a Winter Storm Watch will be issued for
the Santa Barbara County Mountains, mainly for the potentially
damaging wind gusts over 60 mph, but 3-5 inches of snowfall
between midnight tonight through Wednesay afternoon is possible.
Snow levels will start to rise high enough not to effect Santa
Barbara County Mtns after that until the front moves through
THursday night into Friday.

In some of the wind protected LA/Ventura valleys this morning,
low temperatures will fall to between 32 and 35 degrees causing
areas of frost. Frost Advisories are in effect for the Ventura and
L.A. County Valleys this morning.

Enjoy the Sun today as weak high pressure builds in between
storm systems. High temperatures will bounce back a few degrees
today but remain well below normal for this time of year. Skies
will start to cloud up late this afternoon to the north, then
across the entire forecast area this evening.

A 513 DM Low sitting off the PAC NW today and broad upper trough
will tap into some moist subtropical flow aimed towards San Luis
Obispo County initially tonight and will persist over the area
with little southward movement in the form of an Atmospheric
River through Wednesday night. There will be some warm-frontal
precip affecting a good portion of SBA and Ventura Counties
through the same period. Model ensembles continue to keep the
bulk of the moisture across SLO/SBA Counties through Thursday with
less in the way across Ventura and L.A. Counties. The latest
high-res NAM-WRF is picking up on some of the warm frontal precip
getting south into L.A. County. At this time, based on the
consistency on recent model runs, confidence remains high that
there will be at least 2 days of persistent heavy rain for San
Luis Obispo County, and likely across Santa Barbara County as
well. There is a decent chance that Ventura County will at least
see several hours of rain during this period, but being just south
of the heaviest rainfall boundary, rain amounts should be quite a
bit less through Thursday, especially for L.A. County where
rainfall totals through Thursday will be quite light.

By Thursday evening through Friday, Los Angeles and Ventura
County will definitely see rain, and heavy at times. Models remain
in fairly good agreement that the Atmospheric River plume will
hold together as the moist plume moves across the lower two
counties. Rain should taper off to showers by Friday afternoon
with lingering light showers through Friday evening.

No major changes to the rainfall expected based on latest models
runs, except L.A. County Mtns looks more like a max of 4 inches in
the mountains. San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties are
still in store for copious amounts of rain. Through Friday, expect
3 to 6 inches, with 8 to 10 inches possible in the foothills
especially near the Santa Lucia Range. For Los Angeles and Ventura
Counties, 1 to 2 inches are expected, with 2 to 4 inches in the
foothills and mountains. With these types of amounts, expect peak
rain rates between 0.50 and 0.75 inches per hour, which can result
in debris flows near recent burn areas. A Flash Flood Watch will
be considered. While the chance is not high enough yet to mention,
there is a very small chance of thunderstorms by Friday as some
cooler aloft pushes in north of the frontal boundary, especially
on the Central Coast. Otherwise, expect a lot of roadway and small
creek flooding. Snow levels will be much higher than our current
event, with most of the precipitation in the 5000 to 6000 foot
range. Mountains above 6000 feet should expect several feet of
snow, depending on how long they are in the moisture plume. Winter
Storm Watch/Warnings will likely be issued for Ventura/L.A.
Counties later this week. As mentioned early, a Winter Storm Watch
is in effect for the Santa Barbara County Mtns from late this
evening through Wednesday afternoon. Periods of very gusty and
potentially damaging south winds are also expected, especially on
Wednesday over San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties, with
gusts between 40 and 60 mph expected (even near the coast).

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...26/449 AM.

Kept the Friday portion of the discussion with the short term
discussion since it was part of the significant storm system.
But to recap, heavy rain that is expected to affect Ventura and
L.A. Counties Thursday night into Friday morning, will start to
taper off to showers in the afternoon and evening. Saturday and
Sunday look to have fair skies with a few degrees of warming
each day through the weekend. The EC model is showing a weak front
brushing across the northern portion of the forecast area on
Monday which could bring light precip to SLO County, while the
GFS keeps any moisture in northern California. Another chance of
rain is possible later in the week. Temperatures are expected to
remain below average through the extended period (Fri-Mon)

.AVIATION...26/0003Z.

At 23Z at KLAX, there was no marine layer nor an inversion.

Overall, moderate confidence in TAFs with higher confidence in
flight category and less confidence in wind speeds. VFR conditions
are likely to continue through the period with passing scattered
showers. There is a 20-30% chance of a quick shower mainly for
sites north of Point Conception through the evening, before
tapering off after midnight. If a shower does develop, conditions
will likely briefly drop to MVFR, or IFR for a heavier shower. As
for winds, gusty west to northwest winds will likely continue
through early to mid- evening, then start to diminish overnight.
Wind speeds may be off by up to 10 kt and timing may be off by an
hour or two. Areas if moderate to possibly severe turbulence are
possible through the evening.

KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF. There is a 20% chance of
showers through the evening. If a shower does develop, MVFR to
possibly IFR cigs are possible. Otherwise good confidence in VFR
conditions. Gusty west winds will likely continue through the
evening, then start to taper off after midnight. Good confidence
in no east wind component.

KBUR...Moderate confidence in TAF. There is a 20% chance of
showers through the evening. If a shower does develop, MVFR to
possibly IFR cigs are possible. Otherwise good confidence in VFR
conditions. Gusty northwest winds will likely continue through the
evening, then start to taper off after midnight, and areas of
turbulence are likely.

&&

.MARINE...25/826 PM.

***Very dangerous wind and sea conditions across the entire
coastal waters through early Tuesday***

Widespread Gale force winds will continue to affect the entire
coastal waters through this evening before tapering off overnight
into Tuesday morning. Winds will likely gust up to 40 kt, but
some local areas may gust in excess of 50 kt through the evening.
The Gale Warning will expire at 9am, but there is a chance that
winds may diminish faster by around dawn. There will likely be SCA
level winds Tuesday morning before diminishing below SCA level by
the afternoon.

In addition to gusty winds, dangerous seas will also remain an
issue through Tuesday. Seas of 15 to 20 feet are likely through
this evening across the waters north of Point Conception and
southwest of the Channel Islands. Seas of 10 to 16 feet are likely
through tonight for the waters inside the Southern California
Bight. Seas will begin decreasing Tuesday before rising again
Wednesday.

The decrease in winds will be short-lived on Tuesday as the next
major storm system will be making its approach Tuesday night.
Winds will shift to the south on Tuesday evening and strengthen
to at least SCA level after midnight spreading from north to
south. There will likely be another round of Gales across the
waters from the Channel Islands northward, with a 50% chance
for the Santa Barbara Channel starting during the early morning
hours on Wednesday through much of Thursday. Models are indicating
lighter winds across the waters adjacent to LA and Orange Counties
due to the fact that the storm will likely stall across the
Central Coast. Then by Thursday night winds will increase to SCA
level. So the forecast for these waters has much lower confidence
because this forecast track may change with future model runs.

&&

.BEACHES...25/843 PM.

Surf will peak at 14 to 18 feet with local sets to 20 feet
on the Central Coast through tonight. On west facing beaches
south of Point Conception, surf will peak at 8 to 12 feet with
local sets to 14 feet through early Tuesday. Surf will slowly
subside on Tuesday before increasing again Wednesday.

There may be minor coastal flooding through Tuesday morning,
especially within a few hours of the times of high tide and again
Thursday. There will be strong and dangerous rip currents on all
area beaches through Tuesday. The surf will likely cause some
beach erosion.

.HAZARD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK (THU-MON).

Multiple days of steady moderate to heavy rainfall and mountain
snow is likely Wednesday through Friday. Rainfall intensities
could result in debris flow issues for the recent burn areas. Feet
of mountain snow may result in high mountain road closure. Gusty
southerly winds could result in downed limbs, trees and power
lines.
