Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 1100 PM PDT Sat Apr 27 2024
SYNOPSIS
27/139 PM.
Some coastal low clouds and fog will be possible each night and morning through late next week, otherwise mostly clear skies with warmer temperatures can be expected during the period. Gusty west to north winds will prevail over the mountains and deserts at least through Monday.
.SHORT TERM (TDY-MON)...27/714 PM.
Satellite imagery showing mostly clear skies across the forecast area this evening, except patches of low clouds forming across the Central Coast. At upper levels, a northwest flow pattern will persist through Tuesday. This in combination with northerly offshore pressure gradients near the surface will continue to bring gusty northwest to north winds across portions of the forecast area through at least Monday. The Santa Barbara-Santa Maria gradient has climbed to -3.9 mb this evening. A wind advisory is in effect until 3 pm Monday for the mountains, Antelope Valley and adjacent foothills, as well as southwest Santa Barbara county. These areas should generally see wind gusts up to 45 mph, except locally up to 55 mph across the I-5 corridor and western Antelope Valley foothills.
The persistent strong northwest flow pattern across the outer coastal waters will continue to generate a weak eddy circulation the next few nights. As a result, there is the potential for low clouds to develop during the late night and morning hours across the LA/Ventura county coastal areas. Latest ACARS data still showing a very weak to no inversion across the LA Basin, so may be difficult for an organized stratus field to develop overnight.
Weak upper level ridging will move into srn CA tonight and Sun, bringing a warming and drying trend away from the coast.
Little change in heights then expected Monday into Tuesday, resulting in little change in temperatures. Warmest valley areas could climb into the lower 80s the next few days.
.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...27/138 PM.
The EC and GFS mean ensembles and deterministic are in generally good agreement thru the extended period, altho by next Sat the GFS has a deeper upper level trof along the W coast compared to the EC.
Weak upper level troffiness is expected over the forecast area on Wed into Thu, then weak upper level ridging should move into the area Fri followed by a flat upper level ridge (EC ) or an upper level trof (GFS) on Sat. Overall, the weather should not be affected much by either scenario on Sat except a deeper marine layer and cooler temps than currently forecast.
Overall, it looks like night and morning low clouds and fog will affect the L.A. County coast Wed thru Fri, then should expand to the Central Coast and VTU County coast for Fri night into Sat morning. Otherwise, mostly clear skies will continue across the region. Daytime temps will continue to be near normal to several degrees above normal Wed thru Fri, then cool to a few degrees below normal for most areas on Sat.
AVIATION
28/0559Z.
At 0500Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 900 ft deep. The top of the of marine layer was 1600 ft with a temp of 16 C.
High confidence in TAFs except for KSMO where there is a 30 percent chc of IFR cigs 11Z-17Z and KLAX and KLGB where there is a 30 percent chc of no cigs.
KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF. There is a 30 percent chance of no cigs. No significant easterly wind component is expected.
KBUR...High confidence in TAF.
MARINE
27/827 PM.
With increasing confidence, have issued an extended period of Gale Warnings for the outer waters through Monday night, where peak gusts of 35 to 40 knots are expected. There is a 40-60% chance of gales will persist into Tue night, especially zones 673/676. Strongest winds expected each afternoon/evening. SCA winds are expected through Thu.
In the inner waters N of Pt. Sal, SCA level winds are likely especially during the afternoon/eve hours thru Tue night. Seas are expected to be near SCA levels during the periods of weaker winds. There is a 25% chance of gale force winds during the afternoon/eve hours Sun and Mon.
In the inner waters S Pt.Conception, a persistent eddy circulation will likely keep much of the inner waters below SCA level winds.
However, western portions of the Santa Barbara Channel are expected to see at least SCA level winds during the afternoon/evening hours through Tuesday, with a 50 percent chance of Gale force winds late Sunday afternoon/evening. Due to the lower confidence, keeping the Gale Watch in effect for the western Santa Barbara Channel during that time period.
Widespread strong to gale force winds will keep dangerous sea conditions across much of the coastal waters (particularly the outer waters) thru the weekend, with short-period, steep, and choppy waves. There may be dangerous breaking waves near west- facing harbors. Mariners should remain in safe harbor until conditions improve.
LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
