What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this storm 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 storm warning went out at Nov 5, 6:01 AM PST, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 5, 6:01 AM PST, 2 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
601 AM PST Tue Nov 5 2024

.SYNOPSIS...05/514 AM.

A tightening pressure difference across the region will bring
gusty winds across the area from today through Thursday.
Otherwise, high pressure ridge aloft to the west will keep a dry
air mass in place. Temperatures near to slightly below normal for
this time of year through Thursday, then some warming will take
place as the ridge builds in. Cooler weather is expected for early
next week with more winds and a chance of rain.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TDY-THU)...05/514 AM.

A zonal flow pattern remains in place aloft this morning as an
upper-level ridge of high pressure remains over the eastern
Pacific Ocean and a cold upper-level trough dives into the
northern Intermountain region. Except for high level clouds,
clear skies will continue with dry conditions for today.

A shortwave trough moving through the ridge along the Pacific
Northwest coast will dive south through this afternoon. This will
tighten the northerly surface pressure gradient through tonight
and bring some gusty northerly winds through the Interstate 5
Corridor, across southern Santa Barbara County, and into the
Antelope Valley this afternoon and tonight. A wind advisory
remains in effect for southern Santa Barbara County and up into
the interior mountains, but a wind advisory was added for the
Interstate 5 Corridor and down into the Antelope Valley.

A much stronger and colder trough over the northern Intermountain
region will dive south into the Great Basin while splitting off
from the parent circulation. A cold air mass will settle into the
Great Basin through tonight and set up surface high pressure.
Relatively warmer temperatures from the persistently stable
Pacific Ocean off the California coast will set up surface low
pressure and develop a Santa Ana weather pattern for Wednesday
and Thursday. A tight pressure gradient will develop through
Wednesday morning with plenty of upper-level wind support to
support gusty Santa Ana winds developing. 850 mb thermal gradients
approach 12 degrees Celsius across the San Gabriel Mountains as a
cold air mass slams up against the interior slopes. A strong Santa
Ana wind regime is very likely to develop between early Wednesday
and Thursday. The latest high-resolution multi-model ensemble
members suggest a greater than 80 percent chance of damaging wind
gusts developing in the western Santa Monica and the Santa Lucia
Mountains around daybreak Wednesday. This is also when NAM-WRF
solutions model 950 mb winds to reach 50 knots along the Ventura-
Los Angeles County border. With a 60-80 percent chance of damaging
winds in the common Santa Ana wind corridor across eastern Ventura
and western Los Angeles Counties, a High Wind Warning remains in
effect, but the headline was moved to a slightly earlier start
time as there is a moderate chance that winds could start earlier.
NAM BUFR time height section offer up a pretty distinct and rare
start to the gusty northeast winds going from breezy to damaging
levels in the mountain areas within three to four hours. With high-
resolution multi-model ensemble members and 950 mb winds extending
into the Channel Islands and likely affecting the Leo Carrillo
area in Los Angeles County, the high wind warning was expanded to
encompass Santa Cruz and Anacapa Islands, and the Malibu Coast. In
typical fashion with our stronger Santa Ana winds, advisory level
winds are likely across the Antelope Valley. A wind advisory may
need to be considered by future shifts.

There is a moderate chance that the beaches and the immediate
coast see the warmest temperatures on Wednesday and lower
confidence should be placed in the temperatures for Wednesday.
Temperatures could be cooler than forecast across the interior, the
mountains, and the valley areas, while temperatures could be a
couple degrees warmer than forecast at sites like Oxnard and LAX
International Airport.

In the wind-sheltered areas, the dry air mass in place and less
winds will combine to make radiative cooling processes more
efficient. A freeze watch may be needed for the interior valley
areas, such as the Antelope Valley and the southern Salinas
Valley. Temperatures were nudged down and break away from NBM
values to place emphasis on the wind-sheltered locations such as
Ojai, Cuyama, Paso Robles, and Lompoc.

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...05/514 AM.

The high pressure system to the west will build in for late week
and bring a warming trend across the region for Friday and
Saturday. The forecast ensemble members suggest the best warming
for the interior locations.

Over the weekend and into early next week, a series of troughs
should drop into the region. Forecast ensembles highlight the
second one on Veterans Day or Tuesday as the one that could bring
some rain to the area. Operational GFS solutions would produce a
wet solution, but the control solution looks to be an outlier as
most of the ensemble members trend dry. Meanwhile, all of the EPS
members go dry except for some PoPs along the northern slopes. For
now, the forecast goes with NBM values for PoPs early next week.
There is a better chance of a cooler air mass with more gusty
winds during this time period. EPS ensemble members offer up a 30
percent chance of stronger northerly wind event through the
Interstate 5 Corridor and across southern Santa Barbara County.
For now, the forecast goes with NBM values for the period.

.AVIATION...05/1400Z.

At 1253Z at KLAX, there was a surface based inversion with a top
at 1800 ft and a temp of 18 C.

Moderate to high confidence in all TAFs. Timing of wind changes
could be off by +/- 2 hours for Ventura and LA County TAFS as
N-NE winds start to pick up late in the period. For SBA and SLO
counties, moderate LLWS and UDDF possible after 23Z. For Ventura
and LA County, moderate LLWS and UDDF possible after 05Z Wed.

KLAX...Moderate to high confidence in TAF. Any easterly winds
should remain less than 7 knots through Tuesday morning. There is
a 30% chance of north winds greater than 10 knots 07Z-12Z
Wednesday.

KBUR...Moderate to high confidence in TAF.. There is a moderate
chance of moderate wind shear after 05Z Wednesday.

&&

.MARINE...05/541 AM.

For the Outer Waters, Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level winds and
seas near or above 10 feet are likely much of the time through
Wednesday. For the southern outer waters (PZZ676), there is a
50-60% chance of high end SCA level NE wind gusts (and a 20%
chance of low end Gale Force gusts) early Wednesday into Thursday
morning, with a lull possible Wednesday afternoon. Otherwise,
conds are expected to drop below SCA levels Wednesday night
through Friday night, with a 20% chance of SCA level winds
possible Saturday.

For the Inner Waters along the Central Coast, buoy observations of
10 ft+ seas have warranted a SCA for PZZ645 until 9pm PST today.
Otherwise, expect winds to remain under SCA criteria levels
through the period.

For the Santa Barbara Channel, during the late night through
morning hours Tuesday night through Thursday morning, there is a
70-80% chance of SCA to Gale Force level NE Santa Ana winds
across the eastern portion, mainly nearshore south of Ventura,
with hazardous choppy seas. Conds are then expected to be below
SCA levels Thursday night through Saturday night.

For the southern inner waters, conds are expected to be below SCA
levels through this evening. Late tonight through Thursday
morning, SCA to Gale Force level NE winds are expected (70-80%)
for the waters from Point Mugu to Santa Monica and out past
Anacapa Island and in the San Pedro Channel. Conditions will be
strongest early Wednesday morning into afternoon, with local
gusts up to 45 knots possible (30-40% chance) nearshore below
canyons and passes, a 40-50% chance of 35 to 40 knot gusts in the
San Pedro Channel, and a 30% chance of gusts up to 30 knots out to
Catalina Island. By Thursday morning, there is a 30% chance of 20
to 25 knot gusts out to Catalina Island. Hazardous and choppy
seas of 5 to 7 feet will be possible during the peak winds. Conds
are then expected to be below SCA levels Thursday night through
Saturday night.

.FIRE WEATHER...04/519 PM.

We are now on the backside of the current Santa Ana event with week
offshore flow and continued dry conditions through Tuesday. Fine fuels
have dried with this first event setting the stage for a more concerning
midweek strong Santa Ana Wind event. The current Red Flag Warnings are
set to expire at 6 pm this evening.

We are expecting a strong Santa Ana Event (both stronger and drier
than the current one) to bring widespread critical fire weather
conditions to wind prone areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties
Wednesday into Thursday. Fire Weather Watches have been converted to Red
Flag Warnings with the area expanded. This will likely be a HIGH END
Red Flag Warning event with the combination of strong upper level wind
support, tightening offshore pressure gradients (LAX-Daggett peaking at
-6 to -8 mb), and moderate cold air advection. The strongest winds with this
upcoming Santa Ana wind event are expected to be Wednesday morning into
Wednesday night when widespread damaging wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph are
becoming likely in the mountains and foothills of Los Angeles and
Ventura counties (including the Santa Monicas and Santa Susanas), and
widespread gusts of 50 to 70 mph across coastal/valley areas (including
the Malibu coast and Ventura county coastal plain). Humidity levels are
also expected to lower to between 8 to 15 percent by Wednesday afternoon
with these low humidities likely to linger into Thursday. In addition,
there will be gusty north to northeast winds overlapping with humidities
around 15 to 20 percent late Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night
across the mountains and foothills of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara
counties, where the Fire Weather Watches were also converted to Red Flag
Warnings with southern Santa Barbara County added.

Weak Santa Ana conditions may linger into Friday, especially away from
the coast.

Weak offshore flow and dry conditions will continue this weekend with a
moderate chance (40-50 percent chance) of moderate to strong north to
northeast winds early next week.
