What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement 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 beach hazards statement went out at May 27, 11:25 AM PDT, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 27, 11:25 AM PDT, 1 hour 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
1125 AM PDT Fri May 27 2022

.SYNOPSIS...27/1205 AM.

Weakening high pressure and increasing onshore flow will bring a
cooling trend to the area through the weekend. A persistent
marine layer will continue to affect coastal areas, expanding
into the valleys and coastal slopes of the mountains today and
Saturday. Gusty onshore winds are expected each afternoon and
evening for the mountains and interior valleys. A warming trend is
expected by next Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TDY-SUN)...27/932 AM.

***UPDATE***

A slow moving trough along the west coast will maintain our deep
marine layer pattern through the weekend, though cloud coverage
will likely decrease in some areas as northerly flow starts to
kick in later today and Saturday. Temperatures will continue to
cool through Saturday then start a warming trend Sunday. Onshore
flow to KDAG will reach 10mb the next couple days so it will be
breezy out in the Antelope Valley but should mostly be below
advisory levels.

***From Previous Discussion***

A little north push develops tonight. It will bring a mild
sundowner and some gusty I-5 corridor winds - very likely sub
advisory. These winds may limit the low clouds across portions of
the SBA south coast although there will be an eddy so it will be
almost a 50/50 cloud/no cloud proposition. Elsewhere the eddy will
bring a similar stratus pattern.

Not that much change in Saturday's weather compared to today. The
SBA south coast clouds may clear faster with the north flow along
with some warming.

A stronger north push Saturday night and a much weaker eddy will
limit the low clouds with many vly locations remaining clear and
also the SBA south coast. Advisory level gusts will likely
develop across the western portion of the SBA south coast, the I-5
corridor and the NW portion of the Antelope Vly.

Sunday will see much quicker and much better clearing with all
areas under sunny skies by late morning (if not earlier). The lack
of marine layer and north push will bring 4 to 8 degrees of
warming to the coasts and vly. Cool air advection will cool the
interior by 2 to 4 degrees.

.LONG TERM (MON-THU)...27/137 AM.

Both the deterministic GFS and EC as well as their respective
ensembles (GEFS, EPS, GPS) are in good agreement for the xtnd
period which translates to better than average confidence in the
Monday through Thursday forecast.

This weekends trof will shift just far enough to the east to bring
dry moderately fast NW flow aloft to the state.  The N/S grads
turn offshore in the morning and on Monday they will combine with
strongest winds aloft to produce a decent NW to N wind event
across the SBA/VTA/LA mtns as well as the SBA south coast and the
NW portion of the Antelope Vly.

There will be significant reduction in the onshore flow to the
east (The EC actually has a little morning offshore flow). The N/S
gradients will be weakly offshore in the morning and then weakly
onshore in the afternoon. At this time no significant eddy is
forecast and there should not be much marine layer stratus Monday
through Wednesday.

Max temps will not change much Monday but there will be
significant warming both Tue and Wed as the onshore flow weakens
and the marine layer shrinks. By Wednesday the valleys will have
max temps in the mid and upper 80s with a smattering of lower 90s.

Troffing, stronger onshore flow and much more marine layer stratus
return on Thursday and will spark a significant cooling trend.

&&

.AVIATION...27/1824Z.

At 18Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 3200 feet deep. The top of
the inversion was around 4300 feet with a temperature of 18 C.

Widespread MVFR CIGS across the entire region except for the mtns
and Antelope Valley, but the stratus was rapidly retreating toward
the beaches. Clouds could linger near the beaches and then return
quickly this evening. Similar MVFR CIGS will be likely overnight
through Saturday morning with local IFR conditions mainly from
08Z-15Z. Remaining VFR across the Antelope Valley terminals with
gusty W-SW winds at times.

KLAX...Moderate confidence in the 18Z TAF. VFR conditions expected
through 02Z, then MVFR CIGS likely to return through 18Z Sat. High
confidence in any east wind component will remain under 7 kts
early Sat.

KBUR...Moderate confidence in the 18Z TAF. VFR conditions expected
through 05Z, then MVFR CIGS likely to return through 18Z
Sat.

&&

.MARINE...27/855 AM.

A rather quiet day expected with a long period south swell through
the afternoon. Across the outer waters, Small Craft Advisory
(SCA) level NW winds will develop in the evening, then continue
through Saturday. Winds will increase additionally Sat afternoon,
and Gale force winds are possible Sat afternoon all the way thru
late Mon night. SCA conds are expected again Tue. Seas are
expected to build over the weekend, becoming dangerous and steep
with heights between 10-15 feet Sun into Mon.

Across the inner waters north of Pt. Sal, SCA level NW winds are
expected during the afternoon and evening hours Sat thru Mon.
Seas will likely remain above SCA levels when winds drop off at
night. There is a 20-30% chance of Gale force winds on Sun and
Mon.

Across the Santa Barbara Channel, there is a 20% chance of SCA
level W-NW winds late tonight across far western portions. SCA
level W-NW winds are likely during the late afternoon through late
night hours Sat through Tue, and may continue most of the time
across western portions. There is a 20-30% chance of Gale force
winds across western portions during the afternoon and evening
hours Sun and Mon.

Across the southern inner waters, there is a 40% chance of SCA
level W-NW winds across western portions late Sat afternoon and
evening, then SCA conds are likely late Sun into Sun night, and
Mon afternoon into Mon night.

Seas across the inner waters will become dangerous and steep with
heights potentially peaking near 10 feet Sun thru Mon.

Gradual improvement is expected heading into the middle part of
next week.
