SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA 800 PM PDT WED MAR 28 2007 .SHORT TERM (TODAY-SAT)...SKIES MOSTLY CLEAR ACROSS THE DISTRICT THIS EVENING AS DRIER NORTHERLY FLOW PREVAILS. STILL EXPERIENCING SOME GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS LOCALLY OVER 40 MPH ACROSS SOME OF THE MOUNTAINS AND SANTA CLARITA VALLEY THIS EVENING. DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL TURN MORE NORTHEASTERLY. FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH NOON THURSDAY...WE WILL SEE A FAIRLY GOOD BURST OF OFFSHORE WINDS ACROSS THE TYPICAL PASSES AND CANYONS OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES. THE 00Z WRF IS A BIT MORE BULLISH WITH OFFSHORE WINDS SHOWING 850 MB WINDS PEAKING AT 50 KNOTS LATER TONIGHT ACROSS THE LA COUNTY MOUNTAINS. THE GFS IS NOT NEARLY AS IMPRESSIVE. THERE IS SOME UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WITH A 100 KNOT NORTH-SOUTH JET CORE JUST TO OUR EAST. FOR NOW...WILL NUDGE UP WINDS A BIT IN EVENING ZONE UPDATE...WITH LATER SHIFTS MAY NEEDING TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE MOUNTAINS. THIS OFFSHORE WIND EVENT WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT SHIFTS WELL EASTWARD BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON...AND OFFSHORE GRADIENTS BEGIN TO RELAX. IN FACT...THE 00Z WRF SHOWS A SHARP ONSHORE PUSH THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WHICH WILL LIKELY BRING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS TO THE INNER COASTAL WATERS AND BREEZY CONDITIONS ALONG COASTAL AREAS. AS THE OFFSHORE FLOW RETURNS TO THE SOUTHLAND...LOOK FOR SUBSTANTIAL WARMING AND DRYING ACROSS MOST AREAS ON THURSDAY. MOST COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS WILL CLIMB UPWARD AROUND 10 DEGREES ON THURSDAY...WITH SOME AREAS POSSIBLY HITTING THE 80 DEGREE MARK. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY ON THURSDAY...WITH MANY COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS EXPECTED TO LOWER TO BETWEEN 10 AND 15 PERCENT...AND EVEN A FEW LOCATIONS EXPECTED TO REACH SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITY READINGS. WHILE THERE WILL BE HEIGHTENED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LATER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...IT DOES NOT APPEAR AT THIS TIME THERE WILL BE THE NECESSARY DURATION CRITERIA FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS. WHILE ONSHORE FLOW WILL BRING SOME COOLING TO IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS ON FRIDAY...THERE WILL BE LITTLE CHANGE TO THE WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS INLAND LOCATIONS. *** LONG TERM FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION *** .LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...HIGH PRESSURE WILL START TO BREAK DOWN, ALLOWING ONSHORE FLOW TO RETURN. WELL EVENTUALLY START TO SEE LOW CLOUDS RETURNING TO THE COASTAL AREAS. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL DROP SEVERAL DEGREES, BACK TO NEAR OR EVEN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL. THE STORM TRACK WILL REMAIN WELL TO THE NORTH, BUT WE COULD SEE SOME HIGH CLOUDS PASSING THROUGH FROM TIME TO TIME. && .AVIATION...28/1730Z ALL AIRFIELDS WILL BE VFR OVERNIGHT. MAIN CONCERN WITH TAF PACKAGE WILL BE GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT. WHILE NORTHWEST WINDS ARE PREVAILING AT KLAX THIS EVENING..IT DOES APPEAR THAT KLAX WILL RECIVE LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING...GENERALLY EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 8 KNOTS.

KBUR IS EXPECTED TO HAVE SOME NORTH WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOT OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING...AND LLWS WILL CERTAINLY BE A FACTOR TO MONITOR CLOSELY. && .LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
