Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 408 AM PST Thu Nov 30 2023

SYNOPSIS
30/1233 AM.

Save for a few light showers early Friday over the Grapevine skies will be partly cloudy. Cooler temperatures are expected through Saturday, along with increasing northerly winds. A warming trend is expected Sunday into early next week, with dry Santa Ana winds expected at times.

.SHORT TERM (TDY-SAT)...30/243 AM.

Brisk NW flow will continue over the state today. A large mass of mid level clouds embedded in the upper flow will bring partly to mostly cloudy skies to the area this morning with skies clearing in the afternoon as the cloud mass moves to the south. Despite little or no marine inversion low clouds have formed across the Central Coast and the csts/vlys of VTA county. Dense fog has somewhat surprisingly developed across the Central Coast as well.
The NW flow aloft will combine with increasing offshore flow from the north and bring gusty northerly winds to the mtns and Antelope Vly. The winds will be strongest through the I-5 corridor and NW foothills of the Antelope Vly where a wind advisory will go into effect at noon for 45 to 50 mph gusts. The north push will bring some warming to the csts and vlys but the interior will cool as colder air from the interior will be advected into those areas.
Even with the warming max temps will end up 3 to 6 degrees blo normal.

The barest of trof will move over the area tonight. The weak lift associated with the trof along with the upslope northerly flow will bring clouds and a chc of showers to the north slopes near the Kern County line. Rainfall amounts will not add up to anything over a quarter inch and snow levels will be around 6000 ft which means the I-5 corridor will see only rain. The winds will increase even more with the passage of the trof and advisory level gusts will likely push further south into the LA mtns.
Whitaker Peak may even see some gusts near 60 mph. Advisory level gusts will also develop across the western portion of the SBA south coast. Gusty winds will also filter into the csts/vlys of LA/VTA county but should remain just below advisory levels.

Drier air behind the front will lead to sunny skies on Friday.
But most areas will see cooling due to all the cooler air that also arrived behind the front. Only the LA coast and San Gabriel Vly will see any warming since they will be well sheltered from the cool air advection. The winds will continue for the advisory areas.

Friday night will be a chilly one esp in the wind sheltered areas as a cooler than normal airmass and radiational cooling from the clear skies team up. Its likely that the I-5 corridor will continue to see advisory level gusts.

The W/E gradient turns offshore Saturday morning and this will tilt the offshore winds into more of a NE direction. This will likely reduce the strong north winds as well as generating some sub advisory winds through NE facing canyons. Rising hgts and offshore flow will allow for 3 to 6 degrees of warming and will kick off an extended period of day to day warming.

.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...30/256 AM.

Both the GFS and EC as well as their ensembles all agree that ridging and offshore flow will dominate the weather pattern through the middle of next week.

There will be continuous offshore flow as well. Strongest from the north. So the offshore winds may not follow a typical NE Santa Ana scenario but rather be a little more from the north. There is little or no upper level or thermal support So its likely that there will only be isolated advisory level gusts. Tuesday will have the strongest offshore flow and if advisory level winds do develop this will be the day it happens.

Max temps will be what most people will be talking about. Almost the entire area will see 4 consecutive (5 if you count Saturday)
days of warming. Look for 2 to 5 degrees of warming Sunday, 4 to 8 on Monday, a whopping 6 to 12 degrees on Tuesday and finally 1 to 2 degrees on Wednesday (with maybe a little cooling at the beaches). All of this warming will push max temps up into the mid 70s to lower 80s for the csts and vlys which is 5 to 10 degrees warmer than the norms.

AVIATION
30/1205Z.

Around 0735Z, there was no marine layer depth at KLAX.

High confidence in the current forecast for desert terminals.

Low confidence in the current forecast for coast and valley terminals. There is a low-to-moderate chance of sub-VFR conditions through 16Z-19Z, highest at terminals north of Point Conception.
Conditions will likely fluctuate with occasional scattering out due to high clouds moving over the area.

KLAX...There is a 20 percent chance of sub-VFR conditions through 18Z. Conditions will likely fluctuate with occasional scattering out due to high clouds moving over the area. Any east winds will likely remain less than 7 knots. There is a 30 percent chance of north cross winds greater than 10 knots after 09Z Friday increasing to a 50 percent chance by 13Z Friday.

KBUR...There is a 20 percent chance of sub-VFR conditions through 18Z. Conditions will likely fluctuate with occasional scattering out due to high clouds moving over the area.

MARINE
30/407 AM.

Winds and seas will to at least Small Craft Advisory (SCA) levels through the day.

For the waters southwest through northwest of the Channel Island and the nearshore waters along the Central Coast, winds will increase and seas will build through this afternoon. The chance of SCA level winds will increase to 90-100 percent by 1 pm PST this afternoon. A Gale Warning has been issued for the waters from Pt.
Sal to San Nicolas Island from late this afternoon through late Friday night. There is a 50-80 percent chance of GALE FORCE winds between late this afternoon and late Friday night, strongest west of a line from Point Sal to San Nicolas Island to 60 NM offshore.
Short-period hazardous seas are expected between late Thursday night and Friday. Winds and seas will diminish some late Friday night into Saturday, but there is a 40-60 percent chance of SCA level winds lingering into Sunday.

Inside the southern California bight, winds and seas will increase to SCA levels through this evening. There is a 40-70 percent chance of widespread SCA conditions with short-period hazardous seas and gusty west to northwest winds by 8 pm PST this evening increasing to 60-90 percent by 7 am PST Friday. An extended period of winds and seas above SCA levels is likely to occur Friday and Friday night, before winds and seas start to diminish late Friday night.
Winds and seas should drop below SCA levels between Saturday and Sunday, except for a 40-60 percent chance of SCA level winds across the western portion of the Santa Barbara Channel.
