12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 838 AM PDT Fri Apr 10 2020
SYNOPSIS. 10/100 AM.
The showers will mostly be confined to LA and portions of Ventura county today. Snow will fall above 5000 feet. The showers will diminish this afternoon and end tonight. Maximum temperatures will be well below normal today. It will be dry with a slight warming trend for the weekend.
SHORT TERM (TDY-SUN). 10/838 AM.
This endless upper low is centered almost directly over Long Beach this morning with plenty of showers wrapping around it from the northeast. Solid light precip coverage in LA and eastern Ventura Counties but much less west of that and dry with plenty of sunshine in most of SLO County. Updated the forecast this morning to increase pops in LA/Ventura counties and keep higher pops going into the evening in eastern LA County, especially the mountains which should see light accumulating snow for at least a couple hours after sunset. Overall low impact precip but adding to already very impressive totals for April.
***From Previous Discussion***
Any lingering showers over eastern LA county will end this evening and there will be a return to more normal April weather. A marine layer stratus deck will likely develop over the waters and some of the coasts due to the residual moisture and onshore flow.
Northerly slightly anticyclonic flow will set up over the area on Saturday aside from any morning stratus is will be a mostly sunny to partly cloudy day. The higher hgts will allow max temps will rise 1 to 3 degrees and will approach normals. Most coastal and vly sites will see max temps in the mid to upper 60s with one or 2 70 degree readings thrown in.
On Saturday night the upper flow will become more cyclonic and more importantly there will be a huge jump in the onshore flow. Together these two items will produce a very deep marine layer and low clouds will extend from the beaches to the coastal slopes. There might be some drizzle as well esp near the foothills. Its likely there will not be much clearing as the very deep marine layer will likely cook up into strata cu deck covering more than half of the sky. The axis of a very weak trof grazes the eastern side of LA county - enough ensemble members support the idea of a few showers to warrant a slight chc of showers over the eastern San Gabriels during the afternoon and early evening. The deep marine layer and increased onshore flow will bring about 3 to 6 degrees of cooling across the coasts and vlys.
LONG TERM (MON-THU). 10/320 AM.
California will be on the west end of a CONUS spanning trof Monday through Wednesday. The state will be under dry slightly cyclonic NW flow. There moderate onshore flow will likely bring another deep night through morning stratus deck to the coasts and vlys. Offshore trends will reduce or eliminate the marine layer clouds Tue and Wed. Max temps will not change much from Sun on Mon but will warm substantially on Tuesday and them even more on Wednesday. Many max temps will be above normal on Tuesday breaking the 13 day streak of below normal temps. Wednesday will be the warmest day of the next 7 with max temps 3 to 6 degrees above normal and chc of a couple 80 degree readings in the vlys.
Onshore flow strengths again on Thursday and this will lead to 3 to 6 degrees of cooling.
Both the GFS and EC show another upper low moving into the area next Friday but neither is too bullish on any precip chcs assoc with the low.
AVIATION. 10/1206Z.
At 12Z at KLAX . there was no marine layer or inversion.
Moderate to high confidence in 12Z TAFs north of Point Conception. A moist atmosphere and calm winds this morning may lead to a chance of patchy fog developing early this morning. High confidence in IFR/LIFR conditions at KPRB through 16Z-18Z. Moderate confidence in IFR conditions developing at KSBP 13Z-15Z. High confidence in VFR conditions after 17Z.
Moderate confidence in 12Z TAFs south of Point Conception. -RA will continue over LA County through the afternoon and will likely taper off over Ventura County by 18Z. Conditions will likely bounce between VFR and MVFR periodically during rain. There is a 20% chance that conditions may briefly fluctuate to IFR during heavier showers. VFR conditions will become likely everywhere after 23Z.
KLAX . Moderate confidence in 12Z TAF. -RA likely to continue through at least 21Z. Cigs will likely bounce between VFR and MVFR during rain. Low confidence in timing of those fluctuations, with a 20% chance of occasional IFR with any heavier RA. East winds up to 8 kt are likely through 18Z, with a 30% chance they will be 10 kt or more.
KBUR . Moderate confidence in 12Z TAF. -RA likely to continue through at least 20Z. Cigs will likely bounce between VFR and MVFR during rain. Low confidence in timing of those fluctuations, with a 20% chance of occasional IFR with any heavier RA.
MARINE. 10/305 AM.
Gusty east to southeast winds will continue over much of the coastal waters through this morning. There is a chance that gusts could exceed Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level at times in some locations south of Point Conception, especially over the SBA Channel and the Santa Monica Basin.
Gusty NW winds are expected to fill in behind the storm system this afternoon. There is a 70 percent chance of SCA level winds this evening through Sunday over the outer waters off the Central Coast to San Nicolas Island. SCA winds could return Sunday night and persist through the middle of next week.

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. |
