Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
1054 AM PDT Fri May 15 2026

UPDATED AVIATION SECTION

.SYNOPSIS...15/854 AM.

Highs today will be near normal, except for above normal across
the deserts. This weekend temperatures will be cooler, followed
by a warming trend starting Monday. Gusty winds are expected at
times along the Central Coast, and across the mountains and
deserts through the weekend, strongest on Saturday. Hazardous seas
will impact the coastal waters over the next several days.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TDY-SUN)...15/859 AM.

***UPDATE***

A 3000 foot marine layer will keep temperatures on the cooler side
through the weekend. The most notable weather impact will be the
northwest winds which will be strongest in the mountains,
southwest Santa Barbara County, and over the coastal waters.
Warning level gusts of around 60 mph are possible in the mountains
Saturday night, while some of the offshore waters could see gusts
to 50kt at times.

***From Previous Discussion***

Overall, latest models exhibit good synoptic agreement through the
short term period. At upper levels, broad northwest flow will
prevail today, then an inside slider will drop into the Great
Basin on Saturday/Sunday. At the surface, moderate onshore flow
will prevail today, followed by moderate to locally strong
northwesterly flow develops tonight through Sunday.

Forecast-wise, main concern in the short term will be the winds,
more specifically the northwesterly winds. Current models remain
very consistent, indicating moderate northerly offshore gradients
and some decent upper level support. So, will expect northwesterly
winds to increase during the day today across the usual spots
(I-5 Corridor, northwestern Antelope Valley and the Santa Ynez
Range) and continue through Sunday (with tonight and Saturday
likely the strongest time period). In these areas, high resolution
ensembles indicated at least a 70% chance of advisory- level
gusts (40-55 MPH) and even a 20% chance of warning-level gusts
(60+ MPH). Additionally, the Central Coast will likely also
experience advisory-level gusts (30-40 MPH) on both Saturday and
Sunday. Future shifts will likely need to issue various wind
products.

Other than the winds, no significant issues are expected. With the
upper level pattern, the marine inversion will remain on the deep
side, but the increasing northwesterly flow will help to limit the
areal extent of the marine layer stratus. So, somewhat low
confidence in the current stratus forecast through the weekend.
Other than any stratus west of the mountains, skies should remain
mostly clear through Sunday.

As for temperatures, will expect near persistence temperatures
today. However for Saturday and Sunday, there will be some
cooling area- wide as the inside slider brings in some colder air
to the region.

.LONG TERM (MON-THU)...15/202 AM.

For the extended, models remain in decent agreement with the upper
level pattern. Broad cyclonic flow is forecast to continue the
period with a gradual increase in H5 heights. However at the
surface, the models differ with the ECMWF and its ensembles
indicate weak diurnal flow while the GFS and its ensembles
indicate persistent weak to moderate onshore flow.

Forecast-wise, either model forecast indicates continued dry
conditions for the region through next week. There will be some
amount of marine layer stratus clouds each day, but the areal
coverage will be at the whims of the surface gradients. Other than
any marine layer stratus, skies should remain mostly clear through
the period.

With this overall pattern, a warming trend can be expected for
the area through the week. However if the ECMWF is correct with
its surface pressure gradients, temperatures west of the mountains
could be warmer than currently forecast.
