Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 409 PM PDT Sat Jun 1 2024

SYNOPSIS
01/128 PM.

A persistent marine layer with cooler than normal weather will remain in place through the weekend as strong onshore flow continues across the area. High pressure aloft will build in next week, weaken onshore flow, and bring a warming trend to area. The hottest temperatures are expected for the interior portions of the area Tuesday through Thursday.

.SHORT TERM (TDY-TUE)...01/203 PM.

Southwest California continues to be mired in a deep marine layer and strong onshore flow pattern as a result of persistent troughing along the West Coast. While not atypical to have low clouds in May and June, this year does seem to be a little more gloomy than usual. The trough is expected to start loosening its grip Sunday into next week that will bring about a warming trend, especially by Tuesday, with the main focus being the deserts and other areas far removed from the still chilly influence of the Pacific Ocean.

There are already signs of improving conditions as northerly flow is starting to develop across our western areas, where satellite imagery is showing low clouds rapidly pulling away from the coast near Pt Conception. In addition, downslope warming due to the gusty north winds passing over the western Transverse range is causing warming and drying conditions there this afternoon. While clearing may not reach all areas to the east and south, this is a good sign that better clearing is likely over the next couple days along with a slight warming trend. Despite these current trends, clouds are expected to reform in most coast/valley areas overnight tonight and last through early afternoon Sunday, and likely longer at some beaches.

High pressure tries to build over the area Monday, however, there is one more weak trough that will pass through the West Coast, keeping temperatures on the cooler side still. By Tuesday the trough will be east of California. With weakening onshore flow and a warmer air mass in place most areas should experience a warming trend and much earlier clearing of the marine layer. The one exception will likely be the immediate coast where onshore flow and a strengthening inversion may keep low clouds lingering into the afternoon. Coastal valley highs Tuesday should be close to 90 and even farther inland in the deserts temps should be close to 100.

.LONG TERM (WED-SAT)...01/209 PM.

The warmest day of this stretch will be Wednesday in most areas as high pressure is at it's peak locally and onshore gradients are weakest. Still, due to the cold ocean SST's and likely a strong and low marine inversion, coastal areas temps will only rise to around normal for this time of year. Inland temperatures, though, will climb into the lower 90s for coast valleys and lower 100s for the deserts.

A cooling trend will begin in most areas Thursday as high pressure shifts east and onshore flow strengthens. By next Friday and especially Saturday highs will again be 2-5 degrees below normal for coast/valleys with a very likely return of a deepening marine layer that will keep skies cloudy into the afternoon.

AVIATION
01/2309Z.

At 2215Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 2600 ft deep. The top of the inversion was at 4800 feet with a temperature of 20 deg C.

Overall, moderate to high confidence in 00Z TAF package. High confidence in return of CIG/VSBY restrictions to all coastal and valley sites, but only moderate confidence in timing of flight category changes (could be +/- 2 hours of current forecasts).

KLAX...Moderate confidence in 00Z TAF. There is a 40% chance that IFR conditions will not develop overnight. Moderate confidence in timing of flight category changes (could be +/- 2 hours of current forecasts). No significant easterly wind component is expected.

KBUR...Moderate confidence in 00Z TAF. Timing of flight category changes could be +/- 2 hours of current forecasts.

Conds should then be below SCA levels Wed afternoon through Thu.

In the southern two outer waters zones, (PZZ673/676), SCA conds are likely this afternoon (70-80% chance), continuing thru late Mon night or Tue. Conds should then be below SCA levels late Tue night through Thu.

In the inner waters N of Pt. Sal, SCA level winds are likely (70% chance) during the afternoon/eve hours today thru Mon and possible thru Tue. Conds will then be below SCA levels Tue night through Thu.

In the inner waters S of Pt. Sal, there is a 60% chance of SCA winds in western portion of the SBA Channel during the afternoon and evening hours today through Mon. Otherwise, conds over the inner waters should be below SCA levels thru Thu.
