Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 1151 PM PDT Tue Apr 29 2025

SYNOPSIS
29/906 PM.

Night through morning low clouds and fog coverage will continue through Friday. Much cooler and cloudy conditions with showers and gusty winds are expected over the upcoming weekend.
.SHORT TERM (TUE-FRI)...29/929 PM.

***UPDATE***

No significant changes were needed to the forecast database this evening. The marine layer induced stratus clouds have rapidly spread across much of the coast and making progress moving inland this evening. A Catalina Eddy should continue to deepen overnight helping to push stratus further inland and lift the base of the clouds.

***From Previous Discussion***

High confidence in seasonally low impact weather through Friday with relatively small day to day changes in temperatures. Some buildups have already developed across the mountains with a 10 to 20 percent chance of showers across the higher mountains, especially the Ventura County mountains today and continuing each day through Friday.

A weak trough will pass through the region Wednesday and Thursday, leading to a much deeper marine layer with low clouds pushing well into coastal valleys if not lower mountain passes during this timeframe with patchy fog and drizzle possible, especially for valleys and south facing foothills. This type of pattern will support gusty but probably sub advisory winds focused across the interior Wednesday and Thursday afternoon in particular. A reverse clearing pattern is possible Wednesday and Thursday where low clouds linger in the valleys and especially foothills longer than at the coast on those days.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...29/137 PM.

High confidence in an unseasonably strong storm to push through the region this weekend with gusty northwest to onshore winds, but low confidence in precipitation amounts (if any) and timing.
Widespread advisory level winds will be possible sometime Saturday into Sunday including many coastal areas. Where precipitation does occur it will likely be under a quarter of an inch (except up to around a half of an inch in the mountains), with the Central Coast to mountains the most favorable to receive light amounts. Snow levels will largely be between 5000-7000 feet, although may dip to around 4000 feet Saturday night into Sunday morning with light accumulations generally above 5000 feet. The unusually cold (but moisture starved) system for this time of year will support a 10 percent chance of a thunderstorm over the mountains and deserts.
Any thunderstorms that do form could be slow moving, leading to locally heavier rainfall with embedded hail or graupel. It will feel much like a mid winter storm temperature wide with highs only in the 50s to low 60s for most (10-20 degrees below normal). A late season frost is possible for the coldest interior valleys Sunday or Monday mornings. Otherwise seasonably quiet weather with rebounding temperatures is likely early next week, although there’s a 20 percent chance of some shower activity lingering into early Monday.

AVIATION
30/0650Z.

At 0545Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 1700 feet deep. The top of the inversion was at 3200 feet with a temperature of 18 C.

KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF. There is a 20 percent chc of SCT015 cond 21Z-02Z. OVC006 conds may not arrive until 1730Z. There is a 10% chance of an 8kt east wind component 12Z-16Z.
