(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus66 klox 231822 afdlox area forecast discussion national weather service los angeles oxnard ca 1122 am pdt Fri jun 23 2017 Synopsis A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms for the coast and some valleys north of los angeles into Saturday morning. The high will bring temperatures that are well above normal inland, and normal at the coast Saturday into Monday. The skies should be fair except for an overnight marine layer through next week. A low will move in Tuesday through Thursday for a cooling trend and increasing cloudiness. Then the end of the week may be in transition as the low exits. Short term (tdy-sun) marine lyr running deeper today but we're already starting to see a reversal in the gradients this morning, both north south and east west. This is likely why clouds are clearing fairly rapidly this morning. They will still struggle to clear away from the beaches, especially from malibu north and west but otherwise a pretty typical clearing trend. Highs today south of pt conception should be with a couple degrees of yesterday while up north most areas should be 3-6 degrees cooler. Main feature we're watching this morning is the moisture moving up from mexico. Lightning has been detected in some of the clouds over the waters about 60 miles south of the border. This goes along pretty well with what the NAM has been showing as far as instability aloft and moisture mainly above 600 mb. The feature is expected to continue tracking northwest mostly over the ocean but should clip the western portion of our land CWA (mainly sb slo counties but possibly the western part of ventura county) tonight and early Saturday. It's still very dry at lower levels but given that we're already seeing some lightning from it and the nam continues to show mucapes between 500-1500 j kg overnight it seems prudent to go with at least some chance of dry thunderstorms. Can't rule out a brief shower reaching the surface through all the dry air but the main concerns are lightning and gusty winds. By afternoon Saturday the air mass stabilizes and chances for thunderstorms decrease. Meanwhile, temperatures should climb several degrees Saturday as the marine lyr decreases and gradients trend offshore. We could see triple digit heat returning to some of the coastal valleys Saturday and or Sunday. ***from previous discussion*** the ridge pushes slowly to the east on Sunday but not really fast enough to influence the temps. In fact the day will be very similar to Saturday except that the mtns will be more stable and thus there will be no afternoon clouds. Long term (mon-thu) gfs and ec agree through Tuesday. Both mdls flatten the ridge as well as pushing it southward hgts fall from 593 dm to 590 dm Monday and to 588 dm Tuesday. Onshore flow increase to the east but decreases and actually turns offshore Tuesday. So there will be a general cooling trend ESP inland through the period with the exception of few vly location below north oriented canyons. Buy Tuesday MAX temps will approach or reach normal at most locations. The Wed and Thu forecasts are still in doubt as ec and gfs continue to exhibit different forecasts. The ec begins to build a ridge into the area while the GFS continues with the troffing scenario. Both mdls have hung on to their respective fcsts for a couple of days now it will be interesting to see which one blinks and trends to the other's solution (hopefully it will not be the annoying situation where both mdls change and adopt the others forecast) for now have coordinated with the surrounding offices and have agreed to persist with the cooler GFS soln. Aviation 23 1800z. At 1723z at klax, the marine layer depth was 1700 feet. The top of the inversion was around 4600 feet with a temperature near 27 degrees celsius. Low to moderate confidence in the 18z tafs. Today is roughly similar to yesterday as a few coastal locations are expected to struggle to clear this afternoon. The main element of doubt with |
the forecast is the possibility of weaker onshore flow tonight and Saturday causing a reduction in marine cloud coverage. For now, we have kept the marine clouds in the valleys, but do not be surprised if the valley tafs soon reflect a sunnier, more optimistic tone. Elsewhere the marine clouds will return tonight with another round of MVFR to ifr conditions. Klax... Moderate confidence in taf. There is a 30 percent chc of no afternoon clearing. Very high confidence that there will not be an east wind component over 5kt. Kbur... Low to moderate confidence in the 18z taf. There is a 40 percent chc that CIGS will not make it into the airfield tonight at all. Marine 23 900 am. Winds will remain below small craft advisory levels through Friday night across the outer waters, then gradually increase through Monday. There is a 50 percent chance of small craft advisory level winds developing Saturday morning with a better chance by the afternoon across the outer coastal waters. Across the inner waters, confidence is high there will not be any sca through the weekend. However there will be a 50-60% chance for local gusts to 25 kt across the W portion of the sba channel. A 2-3 foot south swell at 16-17 second period will last through Saturday and may pose a risk for breaking waves nearshore. People boating or kayaking near shore should use extra caution. Although the coverage of dense fog is easing a bit, there is still a 40% chance of patchy dense fog during the night and mornings through the weekend. Fire weather 23 900 am. Hot and dry conditions will continue through Monday of next week. The hot conditions will also bring the potential for plume dominated fires which can create their own intense winds. Gusty onshore winds will continue today focusing the concerns to interior los angeles county. Weaker but locally breezy northwest winds should follow Saturday through Monday... Shifting the area of concern to santa barbara county and the tejon pass. Tropical moisture aloft will move through the area tonight and Saturday. While this should have little impact on humidities at the surface, this moisture is producing a small area of high- based thunderstorms. If this feature persists, dry lightning will be a major concern as an ignition source with little to no rain. With such conditions, elevated fire weather concerns will persist through Monday, especially over all interior sections away from the influence of the marine layer. If fire ignition occurs, dangerous fire behavior should be expected. As such, the public should be extreme careful when handling potential ignition sources such as cigarettes, campfires, hand torches and metallic weed trimmers. Lox watches warnings advisories Ca...
