SYNOPSIS
03/855 PM.
Cooler than normal temperatures will continue through at least the weekend as a weak storm system moves across California. Some light precipitation is expected Saturday afternoon into very early Sunday along with some gusty winds at times, mainly over interior areas. A warming and drying trend will develop next week.
.SHORT TERM (FRI-MON)...03/927 PM.
***UPDATE***
Today low clouds associated with the deep marine layer extended over most coast and valley locations. These clouds were slow to burn off south of Point Conception, lasting into the late afternoon for Los Angeles County, and all-day for Santa Barbara city and much of Ventura County. Temperatures were cooler than yesterday by 2 to 5 degrees, resulting in below normal conditions for all coasts and valleys by about 3 to 7 degrees.
Tomorrow the incoming storm system will near the region, resulting in increasing mid to high cloud cover as the day progresses, and temperatures will drop significantly, with the majority of highs in the 60s. Southwest to west winds will be gusty for interior SLO County and Antelope Valley and San Gabriel Mountains of LA County.
Wind Advisories will be issued this evening for the aforementioned portions of LA County, starting at noon on Saturday and lasting until 5 AM on Sunday. Gusts of 40-50 mph are expected to be common for these areas. Saturday night, Sundowner wind will impact much of the Santa Barbara south coast, including Santa Barbara city and Montecito. At this time wind gusts may reach 30-45 mph, and wind advisories will likely be needed for this area. More widespread advisory-level winds are likely on Sunday.
Light rain is on track to begin for northwestern portions of SLO County Saturday afternoon, spreading south during the evening and overnight. Rain totals continue to look very minimal, with just a few hundredth on a inch expected for Santa Barbara City, and LA/Ventura Counties coasts, valleys, and deserts. However, accumulations of 0.25 inch will be possible over the San Gabriel mountains, and up to 0.50 inch over NW San Luis Obispo County.
***From Previous Discussion***
A late season storm is approaching California today and we're already feeling the effects of it in the form of a deeper and slow clearing marine layer as well as much cooler temperatures. Models have been quite consistent the last several runs indicating high chances for rain north of Pt Conception starting Saturday afternoon. The trajectory of the storm and the primarily westerly low level flow isn't as favorable a pattern for southern areas in terms of rain but most areas should see at least some sprinkles or light showers Saturday night. Ensembles continue to project around a quarter inch northern areas, tapering down to a tenth or less in the south. Most of the precip will be done before sunrise Sunday, so most of Sunday will be dry with plenty of sunshine but still cooler than normal with some breezy and conditions, especially near the coast and in the mountains.
Monday will be much warmer as the storm moves into the Plains and onshore flow weakens.
.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...03/217 PM.
The remainder of next week is expected to be fairly quiet with a slow warming trend, mainly inland as California sits between a low pressure system over the Great Basin and high pressure over the eastern Pacific. Coastal area temperatures will be near normal with possibly some increasing marine layer stratus by around mid week. There is potential for more significant warming (again mainly inland) next Friday into next weekend if the ridge over the eastern Pacific shifts east into California as some models are showing.

At 0000Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 2400 feet deep. The top of the inversion was at 4600 feet with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius.
Overall, moderate to high confidence in the 00Z TAFs. MVFR CIGS are forecast to arrive at all sites except KPRB, KPMD and KWJF between 03Z-06Z. The CIGs are expected to linger through the period as a storm system approaches the area, with -RA likely after around 21Z north of Point Conception, and after 00Z-06Z further south. There is a 30-40 percent chance that CIGs could lift to VFR at any site between 18Z-00Z Saturday afternoon.
KLAX...Moderate confidence in the 00Z TAF. MVFR CIGs are expected by 03Z but the arrival time could be delayed by up to 2 hours.
There is a 30 percent chance that CIGs remain at MVFR level between 23Z-03Z. No significant easterly wind component is expected.
