Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 844 PM PST Mon Nov 27 2023
SYNOPSIS
27/436 PM.
Cold low temperatures are expected again tonight in wind- sheltered areas, with near to slightly above-normal highs on Tuesday. An unsettled weather pattern is then expected to affect southwest California by midweek. A pair of storm systems will move over the region Wednesday through Saturday, bringing cooler temperatures and occasional light showers. A warming and drying trend is expected Sunday into early next week.
.SHORT TERM (MON-THU)...27/843 PM.
***UPDATE***
Latest satellite imagery showed scattered mid-to-high clouds with pockets of low stratus clouds and likely fog well offshore. There were a couple of broken lines of elevated radar returns in and around western portions of the Santa Barbara Channel - although with the atmosphere still recovering from offshore flow would expect a few sprinkles at most with this activity as it moves ashore tonight. Left Hard Freeze Warning in place for tonight into early Tuesday morning for the Antelope Valley, although temperatures may only locally reach criteria depending on how quickly skies clear tonight.
Forecast updated to indicate increased low cloud and fog coverage Tuesday into Tuesday night, first focused across the northern waters, expanding inland Tuesday night, mainly north of Point Conception. Decreasing forecast confidence into Wednesday as short range ensemble models indicate significant differences in timing and extent of light to moderate showers. Will also need to keep an eye on the potential for a thunderstorm or two, mainly across far northern areas, especially immediate coastal areas into adjacent ocean. There is a less than 10 percent chance that the unraveling storm will hold together sufficiently to support thunder in this region.
***From Previous Discussion***
While high clouds will continue to stream over the area through tonight, ample dry air in place at lower levels in the atmosphere will support cold temperatures again tonight into early Tuesday morning over portions of the interior valleys. Some of the coldest conditions are expected over the Antelope Valley, where lows are expected to range from around 26 to 28 degrees, warranting the issuance of a Hard Freeze Warning for tonight. In addition, while occasionally gusty east-northeast to east winds will continue over wind-prone areas of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties tonight, latest surface observations indicate gusts decreasing below 40 mph in most areas. These gusts will continue to decrease in coverage and magnitude through tonight as offshore pressure gradients decrease further. As a result, the Wind Advisory has been cancelled. Otherwise, the flow aloft will remain generally zonal into Tuesday, with another day of near to slightly above normal high temperatures in most locations for Tuesday.
On Wednesday, a compact upper cyclone is forecast to quickly progress south-southeastward from the east Pacific waters and over adjacent central and southern California. In addition to an increase in cloud coverage on Wednesday, this system is expected to interact with enough moisture to support scattered light showers across the region. The greatest chance for showers will be over the Central Coast and adjacent inland areas, and total QPF from this first system should be one-quarter inch or less. The coverage and intensity of this activity will likely be decreasing as the system tracks farther southeast in California, and the upper low gradually weakens. High temperatures on Wednesday will be 5-10 degrees cooler than those of Tuesday. Midlevel heights will remain reduced into Thursday as troughing is reinforced over the Pacific coast. While temperatures on Thursday will remain cool -- around 5-10 degrees below normal -- the coverage of shower activity should be considerably less on Thursday behind the departing lead disturbance. Additional QPF from activity on Thursday should be minimal. Snow levels will generally be around 6000 feet through the duration of precipitation, keeping any snow accumulations -- albeit very light -- confined to the highest elevations through Thursday.
.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...27/230 PM.
In association with the previously mentioned reinforced trough over the Pacific Coast, there is the potential for an even stronger disturbance to track south-southeastward over the region late this week. However, differences among model solutions become more notable regarding the trajectory and the strength of the late-week upper low. Confidence is high that this pattern will allow cool temperatures to linger into Friday and Saturday.
However, confidence is lower regarding impacts such as precipitation coverage and intensity. Present indications are that the highest chances for late-week precipitation will come in the form of scattered showers crossing the area on Friday, with total QPF generally one-quarter inch or less. Snow levels are generally expected to lower to 4500 feet in response to additional cooling aloft with the amplifying trough. However, if enough cool air is able to combine with moisture and lift accompanying a deeper low tracking farther to the west, then snow showers could affect elevations as low as around 4000 feet -- bringing possible impacts to the Interstate-5 corridor near the Grapevine on Friday (10 percent chance). This second disturbance is expected to be departing the region by Friday night, followed by a drying trend.
By late in the weekend and into early next week, there is increasing consensus among model solutions for a midlevel ridge to build over the east Pacific waters in the wake of the departing trough. This pattern shift is expected to support pressure gradients turning increasingly offshore by Sunday into early next week, along with a warming trend and continued dry conditions.

At 2326Z at KLAX, there was an inversion top at 1200 feet, with a temperature of 18 degrees C.
Overall, high confidence in the 00Z TAF package with VFR conditions thru the period along with SCT high clouds. Weakening northeast to east winds will affect Ventura and LA counties with some light turbulence possible over the mountains and foothills during the overnight period.
KLAX...High confidence in the 00Z TAF with VFR conds thru the pd.
There is a 20% chance of an easterly wind component up to 8 kt between 10Z to 18Z.

MARINE
27/828 PM.
In the Outer Waters, moderate to high confidence in current forecast. Winds and seas are expected to remain below SCA levels thru Wed night. From Thu afternoon thru Fri, there is a 50-60% likelihood of SCA level NW winds and seas. For Friday, there is also a 20 percent chance of GALE FORCE winds, mainly across the western portion of the outer waters.
For the Inner Waters north of Pt Sal, there is a 20-30% chance of SCA level NW winds during the afternoon/evening hours Thu and Fri. Otherwise, winds and seas are expected to remain below SCA levels.
For the Inner Waters south of Pt. Conception, winds and seas are expected to remain below SCA levels through Wednesday. However, there is a 20-30 percent chance of NE gusts to SCA levels Tuesday morning from Point Mugu to Malibu. There will also be a 30% chance of SCA level NW winds across western portions of the SBA Channel Thu and Fri during the afternoon/evening hours.
