What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale warning 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 gale warning went out at Mar 28, 11:31 AM PDT, 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 11:31 AM PDT, 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
1131 AM PDT Thu Mar 28 2024
.SYNOPSIS...28/925 AM.
Light showers north of Pt Conception will end this morning,
otherwise partly cloudy across southwest California today with
cooler temperatures. An unseasonably cold and vigorous storm
system will move into the region late Friday through the weekend
with rain and mountain snow along with a slight chance of
thunderstorms. A warming and drying trend will develop next week.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TDY-SAT)...28/939 AM.
***UPDATE***
A weak cold front moved through the Central Coast this morning and
dropped around a third of an inch of rain in the Cambria area and
a tenth or less to the south. That system has moved east now and
skies will be clearing through the morning.
Everything still on track for the next system to arrive mid day
Friday north of Pt Conception and late afternoon to early evening
in the south. Latest model projections still indicating a
moderate to strong system coming through, hitting hardest late
Friday night through mid day Saturday, followed by showers and
possible thunderstorms through Sunday, some of which could be
very strong with very heavy downpours, hail, gusty winds, and
possibly even a small tornado or waterspout. Rain amounts still on
track as well as indicated below, a lot of which will fall in that
initial frontal passage late Friday into Saturday. High snow
accumulations expected in the mountains, especially above 6000
feet. A flood watch and a winter storm watch will be discussed
with neighboring offices with a likely issuance this afternoon.
***From Previous Discussion***
A cooling trend will continue through Saturday as a more
vigorous, stronger, and colder storm system moves into the region
between Friday and Saturday. A vorticity maximum rotating around
trough circulation to the north will swing around the back side
and dig the trough into the region to near Point Conception by
late Saturday night. The colder trough will tap into the
subtropics and bring a moist air mass into region along the cold
front on late Friday. PoPs trend even wetter over the previous
forecast with categorical rain being mentioned across the entire
area. All members of the EPS, GEFS, and CMC ensembles indicate
rain developing across the region between late Friday and Saturday
night. With a difluent flow pattern setting up aloft and a much
colder air mass aloft, a slight chance of thunderstorms remains in
the forecast between late Friday night into Sunday. Brief heavy
downpours with small hail could develop. There is also enough wind
shear to produce weak tornadoes or waterspouts over the coastal
waters.
EPS ensemble members have trended slightly higher with precipitable
water values in the latest solutions. Precipitable water value means
tick up slightly to between 1.0 and 1.1 inch. There is a low-to-
moderate chance that a Flash Flood Watch could be issued for late
Friday and into Sunday night. Convective parameters, creating
more instability, could tip the scales more in favor for a watch,
but this will need to be monitored closely.
Storm total rainfall amounts remain fairly consistent, near 1.50
to 3.00 inches across the coastal and valleys areas with up to
5.00 inches possible along favored south facing mountain slopes.
Most of the precipitation will arrive along the cold front
between Friday and Saturday, but there is a secondary boundary
that develops on Sunday in the latest solutions, which could bring
additional rainfall and a higher potential for convective burst.
The latest deterministic solutions show 700 mb temperatures
cooling to between -7 degrees Celsius right behind the cold front,
then cooling to -9 degrees Celsius by Sunday. While the snow
levels were previously advertised to remain between 5000 and 6000
feet, 700 mb temperatures suggest snow levels falling to 4500 feet
quite rapidly with the cold front. This could bring some
accumulating snowfall to the Tejon Pass on Interstate 5. There is
an increasing concern for accumulations of snow lower than
previously surmised. Almost all of the EPS ensemble members have
accumulating snow for KSDB, with a range from a dusting up to 3
inches. Most EPS members show a half inch or less for KSDB.
Highest confidence exists for significant snowfall above 6000
feet. A foot or two of snow above 6000 feet, impacting higher
roadways such as Lockwood Valley Road in Ventura County and
Angeles Crest Highway and Highway 39 in Los Angeles County, is
likely. Winter weather headlines will likely be needed as we get
closer to the storm's arrival and the details become clearer.
Gusty southerly winds will also develop ahead of the storm
system's cold front. NAM 850 mb winds increase to between 40 and
50 knots over San Luis Obispo County on Friday and Friday night.
Stronger southerly winds do spread farther south and east Friday
through Saturday. A High Wind Watch was added for the higher
terrain in San Luis Obispo County, and wind advisories were added
for areas where winds will likely start to increase as soon as
Friday. Wind advisories likely need to expanded farther to the
south and east, and possibly extended by future shifts into
Sunday or Sunday night.
.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...28/941 AM.
There's a small chance the upper low will linger into early Monday
across LA County, otherwise dry and warmer conditions are expected
next week with highs back into the 70s across the valleys and
inland coastal plain areas by Tuesday.
&&
.AVIATION...28/1830Z.
At 18Z at KLAX, there was no marine layer nor inversion.
Good confidence in TAFs through 08Z, then moderate confidence in
all coastal TAFs and LA Valley TAFs. High confidence in desert
TAFs There is a 30% chance of CIGs remaining VFR after 08Z for
KSBA, Ventura, and LA TAFs coastal/valley TAFs. Timing of flight
cat changes may be off by +/- 3 hours.
KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF. Timing of flight cat changes
may be off by +/- 3 hours with a 30% chance of conds remaining
VFR through the period. There is a 20-30% chance of an east wind
component of 8-10 kt from 13Z-18Z Sat.
KBUR...Low to moderate confidence in TAF. There is a 30% chance
that conds remain VFR through the period.
&&
.MARINE...28/836 AM.
Fairly complex marine forecast, with rapidly changing conditions,
and moderate confidence thru the weekend
For today thru Fri morning...
Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level W-NW winds are expected to develop
this morning in the SBA Channel affecting PZZ650 and eastern
portions of PZZ673, then across the remainder of the waters this
afternoon. Winds will drop below SCA levels in most areas late
tonight, except early Fri in the SBA Channel and the southern
inner waters. However, seas will remain above SCA levels in the
outer waters and the inner waters N of Pt Sat thru Fri, so a SCA
will remain in effect for those areas into Fri afternoon.
From Fri afternoon into the weekend...
Winds will shift to S and increase ahead of a cold front Fri. In
the northern two outer waters zones (PZZ670/PZZ673) and in the
inner waters N of Pt Sal, winds may reach gale force Fri afternoon
thru Fri night, so a GALE WATCH is in effect. SCA level S-SW winds
are likely Sat/Sat night, with SCA level seas thru early Sun.
In the southern outer waters, high end SCA level S winds are
expected Fri afternoon thru Sat morning, with a 40% chance that
winds will remain at SCA levels thru Sat night. Seas will remain
at or above SCA level thru early Sun.
In the SBA Channel and in southern inner waters, SCA level SE-S
winds are likely (60% chance) Fri evening thru Sat morning, with
a 40% chance that winds will remain at SCA levels thru Sat night.
Conds are expected to be below SCA level across all waters Sun
afternoon thru Mon.
There is a 20-30% chance of thunderstorms late Fri night in
northern areas and across all of the waters Sat thru Sun.
&&
.BEACHES...28/836 AM.
On W and NW facing beaches on the Central Coast, high surf is
expected to develop this morning, then continue thru at least Sun
morning and possibly thru the day Sun. Surf heights of 8 to 12 ft
with local sets to 15 ft are expected.
On W facing beaches of Ventura County, high surf is expected to
develop this afternoon, then continue thru at least Fri afternoon.
Surf heights of 5 to 7 ft with local sets to 8 ft are expected.
There is a 40-50% chance that high surf will continue thru the
weekend, and the High Surf Advisory will have to be extended.
On any beaches with a westerly exposure on the south coast of SBA
County, and on the beaches of L.A. County, surf of 3 to 6 feet is
expected later today thru the weekend. There is a 50% chance that
surf will reach High Surf Advisory levels Fri thru Sat, especially
on the beaches of L.A. County late Sunday into Monday.
Strong and dangerous rip currents are expected on all beaches thru
the weekend.
