Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 607 AM PDT Thu May 2 2024

SYNOPSIS
02/455 AM.

A dry weather pattern will continue through Saturday as the region remains between high pressure aloft to the west and an exiting trough to the east. Warming will continue to take shape across the northern and interior portions of the area today, while a persistent marine layer will moderate the warming across the South Coast of California. An unseasonably cold storm system will brush the area to the north this weekend and bring cooler temperatures, gusty winds, and a chance for light precipitation Saturday into Sunday. A warming and drying trend will develop for the work week next week.

.SHORT TERM (TDY-SAT)...02/455 AM.

Zonal flow remains aloft over the region early this morning as the area sits between a broad upper-level trough to the east and an upper-level ridge over the eastern Pacific Ocean. A fairly complex surface pattern exists across the area as ridging to the west has created a weak offshore flow pattern across the area. Offshore flow is present across the Central Coast of California this morning, but a persistent eddy circulation remains intact across the southern California bight. With the offshore flow pattern being too weak, it is unlikely for the eddy to get dislodged from the bight. As a result, a persistent marine intrusion will remain wedged in place for today across the South Coast of California.
Low clouds and fog have spread into the the Los Angeles County coastal plain and into the San Gabriel Valley. Clouds are starting to push north along the Ventura County coast and the south coast of Santa Barbara County. Clouds are expected to push into most coastal and valley areas south of Point Conception this morning, but there is a moderate chance that the eddy circulation could pull too far offshore and result into some clearing skies to start the day.

A warming trend should develop today as offshore flow should assert some influence with the compressional heating, but the warming trend could be more muted or even closer to persistence along the South Coast of California due to the low cloud field already present across the area. The forecast preserves a warming trend continuing into today while moderating the warming along the Los Angeles, Ventura, and southern Santa Barbara Counties.
There is a moderate chance that clouds could hug the beaches and struggle to clear off the southern coastal areas this afternoon, but more confidence exists in the offshore push being able to clear off the clouds just off the coast.

A wind advisory was cancelled early this morning as northerly winds weakened with the northerly surface gradient relaxing some, but there is another chance of gusty northerly winds through the Interstate 5 Corridor tonight as the surface pressure gradient tightens again. There is a moderate chance that a wind advisory could be issued for the same areas tonight and into Friday morning as NAM-WRF boundary layer winds increase to 25 knots.

With the ridge aloft and offshore flow weakening later today, the marine layer cloud field should become a bit more entrenched tonight and into Friday morning. Ridging aloft should tighten the marine inversion some and possibly inhibit clearing on Friday at the beaches. A return of low clouds and fog should occur along the Central Coast, but there is a moderate chance that the low cloud forecast could be a little too expansive along the Central Coast for late tonight and into Friday morning.

By Friday night, cyclonic flow will start to develop and a deepening marine layer should be expected as onshore flow strengthens. Marine layer induced low clouds and fog should be fairly aggressive on Friday night and Saturday as low clouds and fog will likely push into the coastal slopes of the mountains.
Much cooler temperatures will start to spread into areas north of Point Conception on Saturday as an unseasonably cold upper-level trough digs into northern California. A cold frontal boundary will drop south into the region late Saturday and bring an increase in chances for precipitation on Saturday night.

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...02/455 AM.

The frontal boundary will continue to move south and east over the area into Sunday while weakening some. The highest chance for precipitation will be for areas north of Point Conception, along the northern slopes of the mountains, and into the San Gabriel Valley between Saturday night and Sunday. EPS, GEFS, and CMC ensemble members buy into this idea emphasizing these areas being wetter. Southern Santa Barbara County, Ventura County, and western Los Angeles County could end up being in a rain shadow effect as downsloping occurs from the Transverse Ranges. PoPs break away from NBM values between Saturday night and into Sunday, and go higher than the previous forecast for the wetter areas. Likely PoPs may be needed by future shifts if the pattern continues for areas north of Point Conception, along the northern slopes of the mountains, and into the San Gabriel Valley. Almost all solutions of the EPS suggest rain for terminals north of Point Conception, KSDB, KEMT, and KPOC.

Temperatures will be quite cool for Sunday across the area. Record cold high temperatures could be tied in some areas as a cold pattern for May sets up. Temperatures go colder than NBM values for Sunday.

Gusty winds could end being the main story with this system. EPS members produce a broad period of gusty winds between Sunday and Monday morning. Gusty west to northwest will likely develop on Sunday across most areas, and a wide swath of wind advisories might be needed for Sunday afternoon and evening. Gusty northwest to north are likely to linger through the Interstate 5 Corridor and into southern Santa Barbara County for Sunday night and into Monday morning.

A warming and drying trend should develop for the work week next week as forecast ensemble advertised a consistent warming trend in the temperature means.

AVIATION
02/1306Z.

At 12Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 1900 ft deep with an inversion top at 4100 ft and a temperature of 17 C.

Skies were clear north of Pt Conception, and with the exception of some MVFR vsbys through 16Z, conds will be VFR there thru this evening. Some low clouds will likely affect portions of the Central Coast late tonight, with IFR to LIFR conds expected.

S of Pt. Conception, good eddy circulation was in progress. Low clouds were widespread in all coastal areas except for SW SBA County, and the valleys of L.A./VTU Counties except for the Santa Clarita Valley and the most interior valleys of VTU County. Conds were mostly low MVFR to high IFR, except LIFR to VLIFR in the higher valleys, foothills and the Santa Monicas. Skies should clear by mid morning in the valleys and by noon on the coastal plain, but may linger all day at some beaches. Expect similar conditions tonight, with widespread low clouds in coastal and most valley areas, and low MVFR to high IFR conds, except LIFR to VLIFR conds in the foothills and Santa Monicas.

KLAX...Low to moderate confidence in the 12Z TAF. There is a 30% chance that cigs will linger until at least 20Z-21Z. There is a 30% chance that cigs will arrive as early as 05Z. There is a 20% chance of an E wind component of 7-8 kt thru 17Z and 09Z-15Z Fri.

KBUR...Low to moderate confidence in the 12Z TAF. There is a 30% chance of IFR conds lingering until 18Z. There is a 30% chance of cigs will arrive as early as 07Z tonight.

MARINE
02/538 AM.

In the outer waters, Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level winds are expected to increase to Gales (70-80% chance) this afternoon, then continue thru late tonight. Winds will likely drop to SCA levels late tonight thru Fri afternoon, then Gales are likely (60-70% chance) late Fri afternoon thru late Fri night. Winds will drop Sat morning, possibly even below SCA levels, but seas will remain at SCA levels. SCA level winds are expected Sat afternoon thru Mon, with a 40% chance of Gales Sun afternoon/evening.

In the inner waters N of Pt. Sal, SCA level winds and seas will develop this morning, then continue thru late tonight. SCA level winds are likely during the afternoon/eve hours Fri, Sun and Mon (60-70% chance), with a 40-50% chance Sat afternoon/eve.

In the SBA Channel, SCA level winds are likely in western portions of the channel during the late afternoon thru late night hours today and Fri (60% chance), and in most of the SBA Channel during the late afternoon thru late night hours Sat thru Mon. There is a 20% chance of gales Sun afternoon/eve.

In the southern inner waters, there is a 20% chance of SCA level winds in NW portions (from Anacapa Island to Malibu) during the late afternoon/eve hours today and Fri. SCA level winds are likely during the late afternoon thru late evening hours Sat thru Sun, especially in western portions, then there is a 40% chance Mon.
There is a 20% chance of gales Sun afternoon/evening.
