SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA 925 AM PST MON JAN 2 2006 .SHORT TERM (TODAY)...TODAYS THE BIG DAY AND THE STORM IS PRETTY MUCH BEHAVING AS EXPECTED. THERE WAS A SLIGHT DELAY IN THE ONSET OF HEAVY RAIN FOR VENTURA AND LA COUNTIES, AND RAINFALL SO FAR HASNT BEEN QUITE AS MUCH AS WE THOUGHT AT LOWER ELEVATIONS (THOUGH STILL IMPRESSIVE), BUT THE SOUTH FACING MOUNTAINS ARE GETTING PUMMELED WITH HEAVY RAIN (6-8 IN. SO FAR) AND EXTREMELY GUSTY WINDS (>80 KTS IN SOME PLACES). THE BACK EDGE OF THE COLD FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL SBA COUNTY THIS MORNING THOUGH THE TROF AXIS IS STILL OFFSHORE SO SURFACE WINDS ARE STILL OUT OF THE SOUTH EVEN WELL OFFSHORE. THIS INITIAL BAND WILL MOVE THROUGH VENTURA AND LA COUNTIES THIS MORNING, AFTER WHICH TIME THE RAIN WILL BECOME MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE. WE ALSO WILL HAVE TO KEEP A VERY CLOSE EYE ON POSSIBLE AFTERNOON CONVECTION AS THE COLD AIR MOVES ONSHORE AND STRONG LOW LVL SHEAR DEVELOPS. MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE ZONES THIS MORNING, MAINLY TO BEEF UP WINDS AT LOWER ELEVATIONS TO AT LEAST ADVISORY LEVELS AND ALSO TO UPGRADE THE COASTAL FLOOD WATCH ALONG THE CENTRAL COAST TO COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY AS THE TIDE PEAKS THIS MORNING. *** LONG TERM FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION *** .LONG TERM (TUE-SUN)...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT THOUGH THE WEEK. LOOK FOR CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE ON TUESDAY AND LOOK EVEN BETTER WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH OFFSHORE FLOW AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES...HIGHS INTO THE 70S WED THRU FRI AT SOME LOCATIONS. A STORM MOVES ONSHORE NORTH OF THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND...PRODUCING THE SLIGHTEST OF CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION NORTHERN MOST PORTIONS OF SLO COUNTY AND COOLER TEMPERATURES ELSEWHERE SAT THRU SUN. && .AVIATION... THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG UPPER TROUGH OFF THE COAST WAS FINALLY BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE TO THE EAST AS THE UPPER TROUGH WAS GETTING KICKED EAST BY UPSTREAM ACTIVITY. THE FRONT WILL GENERATE HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG GUSTY SOUTH WINDS OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL SURFACE. THE TIMING IS BECOMING MORE CERTAIN WITH THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY NOW PUSHING INTO THE COASTAL SECTIONS NORTH OF POINT CONCEPTION. THE HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL PUSH INTO SECTIONS SOUTH OF POINT CONCEPTION DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AFTER SUNRISE. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALOS A POSSIBILITY. EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS MAY REACH SPEEDS OF 25 KT WITH GUSTS TO 35 KT IN THE MOST EXPOSED LOCATIONS JUST BEFORE FRONTAL PASSAGE. ONCE THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION...THE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST AND DECREASE WHILE THE RAIN SUBSIDES. && .MARINE...STILL ON TRACK FOR MAJOR SWELL/SURF EVENT ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. MODELS STILL INDICATE LONG-PERIOD WESTERLY SWELLS BUILDING TO AROUND 20 FEET ACROSS THE OUTER WATERS...AND TO AROUND 13 FEET ACROSS THE INNER WATERS. GIVEN THE SWELL HEIGHTS...WILL KEEP THE HIGH SURF ADVISORIES IN EFFECT FOR COASTAL AREAS THROUGH TUESDAY. EXPECTING BREAKERS OF 7 TO 10 FEET WITH MAX SETS TO 12 FEET THROUGH TUESDAY. WITH MORNING HIGH TIDES TO REACH AROUND 6.5 FEET THE NEXT COUPLE OF MORNING...COASTAL FLOODING WILL BE A CONTINUED THREAT. SO...WILL ALSO KEEP COASTAL FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY. IN SHORTER TERM...SE WINDS AHEAD OF FRONT WILL PRODUCE GALE FORCE WINDS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT/MONDAY MORNING...BEFORE TURNING TO THE WEST MONDAY AFTERNOON.
