Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 10:19 AM PST, 2 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
1019 AM PST Thu Jan 9 2025
.SYNOPSIS...09/450 AM.
An offshore flow pattern will likely remain mostly in place
through the middle of next week and keep dry conditions in place
through period. Gusty Santa Ana winds will continue across the
Southland into Friday, strengthening again tonight through Friday
morning. Another round of gusty north to northeast winds will
develop between Saturday and Sunday, then a stronger offshore wind
event is possible between Monday night and Tuesday.
&&
.SHORT TERM (TDY-SAT)...09/454 AM.
Offshore flow remains in place across the area as strong surface
high pressure remains over the northern Intermountain Region and
into Great Basin early this morning. Santa Ana winds are running
much weaker this morning versus the last two days, but the gusty
winds are still expected to strengthen again after sunrise.
Critical fire weather conditions with warm and dry conditions are
expected, but outside of smoke from the fires, a warm day with
sunny skies is expected with temperatures in the 70s.
Fire weather conditions will remain critical into tonight and
Friday with another round of northeast winds expected to develop
tonight. Winds are expected to strengthen this evening and another
moderate to locally strong Santa Ana wind event is forecast. Wind
advisories remain in effect for most Southland coastal and valley
areas, and all the mountain areas today. Wind gusts between 35
and 50 mph will be common across the advisory area through this
evening, then the winds will increase. Wind gusts are expected to
increase by about 10-15 mph tonight through Friday morning. Wind
advisories have been extended across many coastal and valley areas
into Friday afternoon, while a High Wind Watch remains in effect
across the Santa Clarita Valley and all of the mountain areas of
Los Angeles and Ventura Counties from tonight through Friday
afternoon. There is a high likelihood for additional damaging wind
gusts across the mountains into the foothill areas again tonight
and into Friday.
Offshore flow may briefly break down along the coast and the lower
valley areas between Friday and Saturday. A return of the sea
breeze into the valleys will allow for the fire weather conditions
to moderate some, but another offshore wind event is expected to
develop between Saturday night and Sunday. Gusty northerly winds
will likely develop between Friday night and Saturday night across
southern Santa Barbara County and through the Interstate 5
Corridor. Wind advisories may be needed across these areas each
night, possibly extending into the morning through the Interstate
5 Corridor. The flow pattern will transition from northerly to
northeasterly between Saturday and Sunday, and this will allow for
gusty Santa Ana to redevelop. There is a moderate chance that
Santa Lucia winds will develop, as well. Wind headlines will
likely be needed again for the gusty Santa Ana winds, and there is
a decent chance of critical fire weather conditions redeveloping
during this period.
In wind-sheltered areas locations, clear skies and light winds
will allow for radiative cooling processes overnight to be more
efficient. Frost advisories were issued last evening issued for
the Santa Barbara County Central Coast, the Santa Barbara
Southeastern coast, and the Ojai Valley. So far, this is working
out mostly, but the Santa Barbara Southeastern coast is running
a little too warm at this time. There has been a little larger
stretch of colder overnight temperatures into the Nipomo area and
the Los Osos Valley this morning. A stretch of cold overnight low
temperatures is expected in the wind-sheltered areas and across
the interior valleys for the next several nights. While the
interior valleys and the Santa Ynez Valley have had several
freezes previously, frost and freeze headline may needed for the
remaining areas, such as the Central Coast, Santa Barbara South
Coast, and the Ojai Valley.
.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...09/457 AM.
Gusty Santa Ana winds will linger into Sunday morning. Wind
headlines should cut off during the afternoon hours. With the
wind dropping off and clear skies, a cold night could be shaping
up for Sunday night and into Monday morning. The latest forecast
guidance and forecast ensemble all lean for some colder nights
and mornings between Sunday night and Monday morning, and again
Monday night through Tuesday morning. Overnight low temperatures
break away from NBM values during this period. The highest chance
of widespread frost and freeze conditions across wind-sheltered
locations could be during this stretch. A freeze watch could be
needed for the Central Coast and Ojai Valley as we get closer and
more confidence can be placed in the pattern developing. Overnight
low temperatures dipping into the teens cannot be ruled out across
the interior valleys, which may necessitate the rare additional
issuances of freeze warning due to the potential for pipes
freezing in the Antelope Valley. Frost advisories could also be
needed for the Ventura County valleys and the western portion of
the San Fernando Valley.
Forecast ensembles are starting to identify another potentially
strong and damaging Santa Ana wind event developing between
Tuesday night and Wednesday. EPS ensemble members are hinting at
wind gust means approaching 50 mph at KOXR, KCMA, and K3A6, the
typical Santa Ana wind corridor. This would be concerning with
likely no rain expected and the Tuesday night-Wednesday time
period being the fourth offshore event in the stretch. There is
great concern that fire weather conditions could become exacerbated
given the antecedent conditions, little rain across the area
since the Spring of 2024, and another offshore wind event on top
of all of what we have seen, so far. Residents are urged to stay
tuned to latest information and remain vigilant in steps to
protect your life and property.

.AVIATION...09/1817Z.
At 17Z at KLAX, there was no marine layer. There was a surfaced
based inversion with a top at 3100 ft with a temperature of 15 C.
Overall, good confidence in 18Z TAF Package. VFR conds should
dominate the fcst pd, except for local MVFR/IFR conds due to
smoke through mid to late morning and again tonight near any
fires. Moderate confidence in wind forecast due to frequent
changes in wind direction and speed.
Gusty N to NE winds are expected to affect the mountains of Los
Angeles and Ventura Counties, the Ventura County coast and
valleys, the L.A. County valleys and the Malibu Coast at times
through Fri morning.
There will be areas of mdt turbulence and LLWS, with mdt UDDF
at times through Fri morning, especially over and near the
mountains.
KLAX...Low to moderate confidence in the 18Z TAF. The edge of the
smoke plume from the Palisades Fire will be close to the airport
today, with bkn025 in smoke at times (~60% chance), especially
thru 20Z. There is a 30-40% chance of 4SM FU thru 20Z. Then,
similar chances again for FU impacts from 06Z to 18Z Fri. There is
a 20-30% chance of N-NE wind gusts to 15-20 kt from 09Z-17Z Fri.
KBUR...Fairly high confidence in VFR conds thru the period. There
is a 10-20% chance of 4SM FU BKN025 in smoke especially thru 09Z.
Lower confidence in wind fcst. Timing of wind changes could be
off by +/- 2 hours. There is a 30% chance of NE wind gusts to 30
kt thru 03Z. Ocnl mdt turbc is possible thru 06Z.

.MARINE...09/842 AM.
Across the inner waters south of Pt. Conception, NE winds have
generally decreased below Small Craft Advisory (SCA) levels.
However, SCA level winds continued locally just off Malibu. Winds
will increase a bit this morning, with SCA level NE winds likely
(60% chance) from Ventura to Santa Monica and out to eastern Santa
Cruz Island and Anacapa Island. Winds will continue at SCA levels
in this area much of the time thru Fri morning, with a lull
expected late this afternoon/early tonight. There is a 30% chance
of SCA level NE winds across the San Pedro Channel, especially
late this morning, and again Fri morning.
There is a 60% chance of SCA level NE winds from Ventura to Santa
Monica and out to Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands very late Sat
night/Sun morning and a 40% chance Mon into Mon night.
In the outer waters, there is a 20-30% chance of SCA level NW
winds this afternoon and evening, and a 30% chance of SCA level NE
winds in the southern zone (PZZ676) late tonight and Fri morning.
SCA conds are not expected Fri afternoon/Fri night, then are
likely (60% chance) Sat thru Sun due to winds and seas. Seas will
likely be near or above SCA levels Sun night thru Mon night.
Across the inner waters north of Pt. Sal, SCA conds are not
expected thru Mon night.
