Except for local drizzle this morning, today will be dry with partly cloudy skies. Clouds will increase later today and tonight. There is a chance of showers tonight and Saturday morning across northern areas. Dry weather is expected late Saturday through Monday, with a warming trend. There is a slight chance of showers in northern areas Tuesday, spreading to the entire region Tuesday night and Wednesday. There is a slight chance showers could linger into Thursday. Short term (tdy-sun) 22 510 am. Lots of low level moisture lingering across the region this morning, with generally partly cloudy skies. Some stratocu development will likely keep skies partly cloudy across l.A. And vtu counties today. A band of thick mid and high level clouds on the eastern side of an approaching trough and its associated weak front will likely make for a mostly cloudy day across slo and sba counties. MAX temps will likely be up a couple of degrees in most areas, especially across ventura and l.A. Counties, where heights and thicknesses will rise, temps at 950 mb will edge upward, and there will be the most sunshine. The trough will flatten as it moves into the region tonight and early sat. Showers will become likely across portions of slo county tonight, but the southern end of the front will weaken significantly, with just a slight chance of showers extending southward into southern sba county late tonight. Locally gusty north winds thru and below passes and canyons of the santa ynez mountains will hasten the demise of the band of rain. Expect just an increase in clouds across vtu and l.A. Counties tonight. Skies will start out mostly cloudy across the region on Saturday, then it will become partly cloudy. There is a slight chance of showers across slo and sba counties and in the northern mtns in the morning, possibly lingering into the afternoon across the mtns, and across far eastern sections of slo and sba counties. Max temps on Sat should be similar to those reached today in most areas, with some cooling possible in the mtns and deserts. Gusty northwest winds will affect the central coast in the afternoon and evening, and gusty southwest to west winds in the antelope valley could approach advisory levels. It will also be breezy across coastal sections of l.A. And vtu counties in the afternoon. Heights will rise across the forecast areas Sat night Sun as a weak ridge builds into southern california. Skies will generally be mostly clear. Gusty northwest to north winds will affect locations through and below passes and canyons of the santa ynez range and through the interstate 5 corridor Sat night. With rising heights and thicknesses, warming at 850 mb and 950 mb, and very weak offshore gradients in the morning, expect several degrees of warming in most areas sun, with MAX temps getting close to normal. Long term (mon-thu) 22 421 am. Another weak trough will approach the region on mon, swinging into northern ca Mon night. This will cause clouds to increase in northern areas. There is a slight chance of rain across far northern sections, mainly in the afternoon. South of pt conception, heights thicknesses will remain rather high, and onshore flow will be weak. Therefore, MAX temps may actually rise a bit more, especially in the valleys of l.A. And vtu counties. There is a slight chance of showers across slo county Mon night, and some showers could make it into sba county on tue, but overall the frontal system associated with the approaching trough is expected to fade out. The remainder of the region should remain dry, with an just an increase in clouds and some cooling. A sharper trough will approach the west coast Tue night and wed. Models continue to be oscillating as to how far south the rain will get Tue night and wed, but many of the ensemble members bring some rain to the entire region, especially during the day on wed. At this point, it looks as though rainfall totals will be on the light side, generally one quarter of an inch or less, except possibly higher in areas north of point conception. Some showers may linger across the region Wed night and thu, but any additional rainfall will be very light. Aviation 22 1207z. |
At 1150z, there was no marine layer or inversion at klax. Moderate confidence with 12z tafs. There is a 30% chance that MVFR cigs could develop across valley TAF sites and linger into this afternoon. There is a 30% chance that ifr CIGS at kprb could linger a few hours this morning. For coastal sites, MVFR cigs could develop up to 3 hours before tafs suggest this evening. Moderate confidence with vcsh for NRN taf sites. Klax... Moderate confidence in the 12z taf. 30% chance that MVFR cigs will develop through 17z this morning.

There is a 30% chance that MVFR CIGS will be + - 2 hours from TAF this evening or tonight. Marine 22 330 am. Outer waters... High confidence for the northern zone (pzz670) for winds to remain below small craft advisory (sca) levels through this weekend. However by Saturday, a swell of 10 feet or greater is expected. Later shifts will likely issue a (sca) for hazardous seas for all the outer waters through Sunday night where winds are not meeting SCA levels. There is a 60% chance that the southern zone (pzz676) will have SCA level wind gusts by mid afternoon through tonight. Inner waters N of point conception... High confidence for winds to remain below (sca) through at least this weekend, and likely into early next week. There is a 20% chance for SCA for southerly winds late Sunday through early Monday morning. Inner waters S of point conception... There is a 60% chance for (sca) westerly wind gusts across much of the santa barbara channel and a 50% chance across the NW portion of the southern inner waters (pzz650) by this afternoon, and continuing overnight into early Saturday morning. There is 30% chance that SCA level winds do not materialize and SCA might need to be taken down. Strongest winds will be across western portion of zone pzz655) confidence is lower tomorrow for SCA level gusts as winds have become weaker with latest model runs. Beaches 22 444 am. A high surf advisory has been issued for the central coast valid from early Saturday morning through Sunday evennig. A relatively large, long period west-northwest swell has developed across the central pacific. This swell will move towards the central coast late tonight or early Saturday morning. Surf between 8 and 12 feet will initially affect the central coast Saturday morning, then increase to between 10 and 14 feet by Saturday afternoon through Saturday night with local sets to 16 feet during the peak of the high surf. Surf will lower slightly on Sunday to between 9 and 13 feet. There is a good chance that some of the swell energy will make it into the inner waters allowing for elevated surf 4-7 feet across west facing exposed beaches from santa barbara to los angeles county Saturday through Sunday. A beach hazards statement or low end high surf advisory might need to be added for Saturday afternoon through Sunday. Will let the next shift make that determination. High rip currents will be increasing and can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks and jetties. Swim near a lifeguard station if entering the surf zone this weekend. Lox watches warnings advisories Ca... High surf advisory in effect from 1 am Saturday to 10 pm pdt Sunday for zones 34-35.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
