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 805 PM PDT Fri Aug 7 2020
SYNOPSIS. 07/738 PM.
Overnight and morning low clouds and fog with below normal temperatures will continue across the coasts and in adjacent valleys into next week. Interior areas will warm to near normal Sunday through Tuesday then little change through Thursday.
SHORT TERM (FRI-MON). 07/805 PM.
A very weak upper level low will spin over north-central California through Saturday, then get nudged to the west Sunday and Monday by a building high over northern Mexico. This will bring warming to the mountains and interior valleys over the weekend, pushing temperatures back up to around normal for this time of the year by Sunday and Monday. This includes daytime temperatures well into the 90s across the warmest valleys and lower mountains, as well as temperatures approaching 100 degrees in the Antelope Valley.
Meanwhile, the coastal plain and coastal valleys will continue to be moderated by a marine layer influence and steady onshore flow. The marine layer depth is ranging from around 1500 feet across the LA Basin (according to ACARS data) and around 2000 feet north of Pt Conception (according to 00z Vandenberg sounding). With the gradual rise in heights over the weekend, look for the marine layer depth to gradually diminish leading to the warming trend across inland areas. Overnight into Saturday morning, expecting low clouds to fill in across many coastal areas as well as portions of the coastal valleys.
Continued gusty onshore winds across the interior through Monday, especially across the Antelope Valley and adjacent foothills where wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph will be common, except isolated gusts of 40 to 45 mph near Lake Palmdale. The gusty onshore winds coupled with the warming temperatures and lowering humidities will result in elevated fire weather concerns this weekend into Monday across the Antelope Valley and adjacent foothills. There are also some localized northwest winds gusting 25 to 35 mph this evening near Gaviota and Refugio, which will diminish over the weekend.
LONG TERM (TUE-FRI). 07/210 PM.
Tuesday is looking very similar to Monday, with the upper level high centered over northern Mexico still supporting near normal conditions over the interior, while modest onshore flow drives slightly cooler than normal conditions at the coast. Computer projections differ for Wednesday and Thursday, along with a decent spread in their ensembles, between the ridge flatten out with a cooling trend and the ridge expanding with a warming trend. There is more agreement for Friday into the following weekend, with good consensus towards a widespread and gradual warming trend. Also expecting northwest winds to reform over SBA County by Tuesday or Wednesday nights, which should help deepen the marine layer over LA County, and decrease it over SBA and Ventura Counties. No appreciable threat of any monsoonal surge or significant winds for the next 7 to 10 days.
AVIATION. 08/0007Z.
At 2355z at KLAX . The inversion was around 1500 feet. The top of the inversion was around 2900 feet with a temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius.
Overall . Moderate to high confidence in the current TAFs. VLIFR/LIFR conditions will likely develop at KSBP and KSMX tonight into early Saturday morning. LIFR/IFR conditions likely to develop at KPRB, KSBA, KOXR, and KCMA 12z-17z, IFR/MVFR conditions at KSMO, KLAX, and KLGB 11z-18z. There is a 20 percent chance of IFR/MVFR conditions developing at KBUR and KVNY 12z- 17z. Otherwise and elsewhere, VFR conditions will prevail.
KLAX . Moderate confidence in the current TAF. IFR/MVFR conditions are projected to develop 12z-17z, however there is a 20 percent chance of no cigs developing. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail throughout the forecast period. There will not be any east winds greater than 8 kts.
KBUR . High confidence in the current TAF. There is a 20 percent chance of IFR/MVFR conditions 12z-17z. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail throughout the forecast period.
MARINE. 07/731 PM.
Across the outer waters . Winds across the central and southern outer waters will be elevated and gusty to Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level through late tonight. Otherwise, conditions will remain below SCA level throughout the forecast period.
Across the nearshore waters of the Central Coast . Conditions will remain below SCA level throughout the forecast period.
Across the inner waters south of Point Conception . Conditions will remain below SCA level throughout the forecast period.
