Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 701 AM PST Sun Jan 19 2020

SYNOPSIS. 19/700 AM.

Dry and warmer conditions continue today with gusty offshore winds over eastern Ventura and northern Los Angeles Counties. Conditions will be cloudy and cooler early in the week with a slight chance of light showers across the region late Monday through Tuesday, then dry and warmer weather returns for the remainder of the week.

SHORT TERM (TDY-TUE). 19/242 AM.

A weak ridge is over the state with 579 DM hgts. There is about 6 mb of offshore flow from both the east and the north. There is no upper or thermal support so while there will be windy locations throughout VTA and LA county as well as portions of SLO county the bulk of the winds will be just below advisory criteria. There will, however, be local advisory level gusts in the windiest areas. Temperatures in the breezy areas are quite mild tonight with many areas reporting temps in the lower 60s. Today will start out partly cloudy but skies will soon turn mostly cloudy as a grip of high clouds just to the west of the area advects overhead. Today will be the warmest of the next 7 with many areas seeing highs in the mid 70s these temps would likely be several degrees higher if it were not for the forecast cloud cover.

Gradients trend sharply onshore Monday ahead of an advancing Pacific trof. The mostly cloudy skies will also continue. These two items will combine to drop temps 2 to 4 degrees across the coasts and vlys maybe more across portions of the Central Coast. The interior areas will not see much change.

No change in the low confidence for the forecast Monday night into Tuesday night. The GFS remains dry while the EC remains wet and the NAM sits somewhere in the middle. While the EC continues to be wet it is now wet in a different way. The EC now brings in the system from the WSW and has the best pops south of Pt Conception. Looking at the system out in the Pacific this scenario does make sense and pop distribution was skewed to the new EC way of thinking. The system is also forecast to be a little quicker so the rain chance is now arriving late Monday night and then quickly leaving shortly after dawn. Another system will just graze the northern tip of SLO county during the day but it will only bring a slight chc of shower to the Hearst Castle area. The trof passage will lower hgts this, the onshore flow and the cloud cover will all conspire to make Tuesday the coolest of the next 7. Max temps will be 3 to 6 degrees blo normal.

LONG TERM (WED-SAT). 19/313 AM.

Both the EC and the GFS agree that the area will be under a ridge with weak offshore flow during the Wed/Thu/Fri time period. It is not a very strong ridge and will allow some mid and high level clouds to drift in As a result. skies will be partly or even mostly cloudy at time. The offshore flow will prevent low clouds from forming. The ridge will not push hgts up very much esp Wed. Wed's temps will only be a touch warmer than Tuesday. Max temps will likely warm to normal on Thu and stay that way Fri.

The ridge breaks down on Saturday. Hgts lower but the offshore flow while weaker should remain. It will be a little cloudier as mid and high level clouds move out in front of the trof. Max temps will fall a couple of degrees across the board.

No change in mdl thinking for next Sunday the GFS is dry with a weak trof overhead while the EC brings a cut off low and rain to the state.

AVIATION. 19/1144Z.

At 1130Z at KLAX, there was no marine inversion present.

Hi confidence in all 12Z TAFs with VFR conditions expected through tonight.

LAX . Hi confidence in the 12Z TAF with VFR conditions expected through Mon morning. Good confidence the east wind component will be 6 kt or less thru 20Z today and again 16Z-18Z Mon.

KBUR . Hi confidence in the 12Z TAF with VFR conditions expected through tonight.

MARINE. 19/159 AM.

There is a 20% chance of Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level NE winds across the southern inner waters from Point Mugu to Santa Monica this morning. Otherwise, SCA winds are not expected through at least Tuesday across all coastal waters.

SCA level NW winds are likely across the outer waters Wed, and there is also a 50% chance of SCA level wind gusts at times over parts of the outer waters on Thursday.

There is high confidence that seas will reach or exceed 10 ft Tue night thru Wed across the outer waters and northern inner waters as a large, long period west to northwest swell overspreads the waters. Seas could approach 8 ft across the SBA Channel, with elevated breaking waves affecting Ventura Harbor, perhaps high enough for advisory criteria.

LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. CA . NONE. PZ . NONE.

.HAZARD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK (TUE-SAT).

No significant hazards expected.
