SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVN NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA 1100 AM PDT MON JUN 19 2006 .SHORT TERM... MARINE LAYER NOT WELL BEHAVED THIS MORNING. THE EDDY DID NOT DEVELOP AND AS A RESULT THE MARINE LAYER IS SETTLING AND NOT RISING. THE 1400 FOOT MARINE LAYER IS SLOWLY ADVECTING INLAND PUSHED BY THE 5.3 MB GRADIENT TO DAGGET...BUT NOWHERE NEAR AS FAST AS IT WOULD WITH AN EDDY IN PLACE. IN FACT DENSE FOG HAS FORMED IN KSBA AS A RESULT OF THE CLOUDS SINKING. THE CENTRAL COAST REMAINS VEXINGLY CLEAR WITH SOME CLOUDS FROM LOMPOC TO BUELLTON...PERHAPS THE STRONG WINDS OVER THE WATERS IS MIXING THINGS OUT...BUT THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF TIMES WHERE THAT DID NOT MATTER MUCH. ALSO SOME CLOUDS ARE SNAKING THEIR WAY DOWN THE SALINAS RIVER VALLEY. KSNS CLOUD BASES ARE AT 1100 WHICH IS HIGH ENOUGH TO SPILL INTO KPRB. WILL MONITOR THAT. MDLS INITIALIZED THE 00Z GRADIENT 3 MB TO STRONG SO THINK THAT THERE WILL BE GOOD CLEARING TODAY EXCEPT MAYBE THE WEST COAST OF VTA COUNTY THIS IS BETTER THEN EARLIER CLEARING TO THE BEACHES THINKING. MORE OF A TROF OVERHEAD TUESDAY AND BETTER ONSHORE FLOW FORECAST SO LOOK FOR A SLOWER CLEARING DAY AND MOSTLY LIKELY ONLY TO THE BEACHES. WEDNESDAY LOOKS PRETTY TYPICAL JUNE WITH A SLIGHT TROF OVERHEAD AND MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW AND SEE NO REASON NOT TO FORECAST TYPICAL JUNE WEATHER WITH NIGHT THROUGH MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG. WITH 588 HGTS OVERHEAD THE INLAND AREA WILL NOT BE MUCH COOLER TODAY THAN SUNDAY. COASTS AND VLYS WILL HAVE SIMILAR TEMPS DUE TO MARINE INFLUENCE. TROF TUESDAY KNOCKS A FEW MORE DM FROM THE HGTS BUT NOT MUCH AND INLAND TEMPS WILL FALL ONLY A DEGREE OR MAYBE TWO. COOLER COASTS AND VALLEYS WITH A MORE EXTENSIVE AND STUBBORN MARINE REGIME. A LITTLE WARMER EVERY WHERE WEDNESDAY AS HGTS CREEP UP AND MARINE LAYER BURNS OFF A LITTLE QUICKER. .LONG TERM... THE TROF IS REPLACED BY A RIDGE FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THIS WILL SMOOSH THE MARINE LAYER SOME AND WARM THE INLAND AREAS. SAT AND SUN PRESSURE GRADIENTS RELAX TO NEAR ZERO AND THIS WILL DECREASE THE MARINE INFLUENCE AND ALLOW FOR A GOOD WARM UP WITH POSSIBLE TRIPLE DIGITS IN THE VLYS AGAIN. && .AVIATION...POSITION OF THE LOW LEVEL CYCLONIC CENTER WAS JUST W OF SANTA CATALINA ISLAND THIS MORNING. CENTERED WAS SE FROM THE PREVIOUS POSITION OF 24 AND 48 HOURS AGO AT THIS TIME. GOLETA AND SAN FERNANDO LOW LEVEL PROFILER INDICATED A SLIGHTLY WEAKER INVERSION AND LOWER CAPPING BASE THAN PREVIOUS TWO MORNINGS AND PIREPS INDICATED CLOUD TOPS BETWEEN 2.1-2.4KFT AT THIS TIME. MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH UPSTREAM WILL MOVE ASHORE THIS EVENING AND MODERATE SW FLOW WILL PREVAIL. LOW LEVEL SOUNDING COOLS SLIGHTLY THOUGH LOW CLOUDS WILL PERSIST. CIGS BASES WILL ASCEND SLIGHTLY AS WILL THE CAPPING INVERSION AND EXPECT IMPROVED VIS RESTRICTIONS FROM THIS MORNING. HAVE FOLLOWED SIMILAR TIMING WITH LOW CLOUDS REDEVELOPING THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS LOWER THAN YESTERDAY AS THE TROUGH UPSTREAM APPROACHES AND MOVES ASHORE THIS EVENING. && .MARINE...SWELLS THAT ORIGINATED IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC LAST WEEK WILL BEGIN TO ARRIVE ALONG EXPOSED SOUTH SHORES TODAY. THE SWELLS ARE REMNANTS OF SEA HEIGHTS NEARLY 60 FEET THAT WERE GENERATED LAST WEEK TUESDAY BY A DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT DEVELOP BETWEEN NEW ZEALAND AND SOUTH AMERICA.
