Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 929 AM PST Wed Dec 6 2023

SYNOPSIS
06/908 AM.

A weather disturbance will move into the region later today into Thursday, leading to some light showers along the Central Coast and northern mountains as well as widespread significant cooling through Friday. A return to gusty northerly winds is expected Thursday and Friday, strongest in the mountains, then shifting to a Santa Ana wind event this weekend with warming temperatures.

.SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...06/928 AM.

***UPDATE***

A large stratus field has arrived along the Central Coast with some dense fog pushing a few miles inland. And there are a few patches of fog in the So Cal bight region but otherwise plenty of sunshine today. Gradients are still lightly offshore this morning but trending strongly onshore and temperatures are already responding with many areas starting off 10-15 degrees cooler.
Still may be an isolated 80 degree high today in the warmer valleys but most areas will top out in the low to mid 70s.

Main forecast issue is the upcoming northerly wind event Thursday into early Friday. Forecast pressure gradients to the north are over 6mb and winds aloft range from 40-60kt with strong subsidence over the mountains to drive the winds down to the surface. Given all those factors this looks like a solid high wind warning event for the mountains, including the higher portions of the Santa Ynez Range, and will likely issue by this afternoon. Will likely need advisories down through the western LA valleys and Santa Monicas as well. And while the winds will also push into West LA again, including Santa Monica and LAX areas, speeds will likely be below advisory levels.

Winds expected to drop off during the day Friday but then pick up again Friday night into Saturday as a strong Santa Ana wind event develops over Ventura and LA Counties.

***From Previous Discussion***

The weakening surface front will move across the region tonight and early Thu. As it does so, it will bring clouds and a chance of showers to SLO and northern SBA Counties tonight, with the chance of showers lingering across interior sections of SLO and SBA Counties and the mountains of Ventura County and northwestern L.A.
County Thu morning. Rainfall totals will be less than a tenth of an inch in most areas, except possibly up to one quarter of an inch across northwestern SLO County. Snow levels will lower to between 6500 and 7000 feet by early Thu morning, but little if any snow accumulation is expected. Across the remainder of the region, expect just some mid and high clouds tonight and Thu morning, with possibly some low clouds and fog across coastal sections of L.A. County. Skies should be partly cloudy to mostly sunny across the region Thu afternoon. Decent height falls, increased clouds and cooling at 850/950 mb should bring significant cooling to most areas Thu, with max temps down to near or possibly even slightly below normal levels.

The main story will be the wind behind the frontal system.
Increasing N-S gradients across SLO and SBA Counties tonight will cause NW to N winds to approach advisory levels across the southwestern coast of SBA County and the western Santa Ynez Range tonight.

After a temporary lull in the winds Thu morning, cold advection, increasing flow aloft and subsidence should cause widespread gusty NW to N winds to develop Thu afternoon across SLO and SBA Counties, in the mtns of Ventura County and through the I-5 Corridor, likely reaching advisory levels in many of these areas.
West winds will likely reach advisory levels in the Antelope Valley Thu afternoon and evening. Advisory level winds should persist into Fri morning in the mtns and across southern SBA County. There still looks to be about a 30 percent chance for local gusts to reach 60-70 mph in locations prone to northerly winds such as Montecito Hills and the I-5 corridor.

NW-N Winds will spread into other parts of the region Thu night, with gusty winds pushing into the valleys of western L.A. County, eastern Ventura County, into the Santa Monica Mountains, and into the West L.A. through Malibu area overnight. Advisory level winds are likely in many of these areas Thu night through early Fri afternoon. Winds should shift to a more northeasterly direction on Fri, which should cause winds to become focused in areas more typically favored by Santa Ana winds. Skies should be mostly clear Thu night and Fri. It will remain rather chilly on Fri, as low level cold advection overwhelms compressional warming of the downsloping winds in most areas.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...06/517 AM.

An upper ridge will amplify across the eastern Pacific Sat, then move into the region Sun, causing heights and thicknesses across the area to rise each day. Moderate to borderline strong offshore flow will cont Sat, then offshore gradients will weaken a bit Sun.
Expect gusty NE winds (probably at or above advisory levels) across much of VTU County and western/northern L.A. County Fri night/Sat, with less in the way of winds Sat night/Sun. Skies will likely be mostly clear. There should be a few degrees of warming each day, with temps up to above normal levels in most areas.

A trough will move into the eastern Pac late Sun, then into the West Coast Mon. Offshore gradients will weaken and then turn onshore Mon afternoon. Expect some high clouds across the region, but a return of low clouds is not likely. There should be some cooling Mon, especially on the coastal plain. The trough will sharpen over the western U.S. Tue, with sharpening more prominent on the operational run of the EC. This will bring cooling to the region, with another round of gusty NW-N winds likely in some areas.

AVIATION
06/1158Z.

At 1133Z at KLAX, there was a weak surface based inversion with a top at 1500 feet with a maximum temperature of 19 C.

Moderate confidence in Central Coast TAFs and L.A. Coastal TAFs, high confidence in all others. Timing of onset of cigs may be off by +/- 3 hours. There is a 30% chance of IFR cigs at KSMX through 17Z. There is a 30% chance of MVFR cigs at KPRB and KSMO after 09Z Thurs, and VFR conds at KSBP/KSMX/KLAX/KLGB on Thurs.

KLAX...High confidence in TAF through 07Z, then moderate confidence. Onset of cigs may be off by +/- 3 hours. There is a 20% chance of VFR conditions through the period. There is a 30% chance of an east wind component of 5 kts through 17Z Wed, and 09Z-17Z Thurs.

KBUR...High confidence in TAF.

MARINE
06/252 AM.

For the Outer Waters, moderate to high confidence in forecast.
Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level seas will continue into Saturday.
Winds are expected to remain below SCA levels through this morning with a 60% chance of SCA level winds returning to the waters south of Point Conception as early as this afternoon. Then, winds will expand across all the outer waters overnight tonight and last through Friday. There is a 50% chance of Gale Force winds for the waters south of Point Conception Thursday morning into Friday afternoon, though lower confidence in exact timing.
There is a 30-40% chance of SCA winds continuing through Saturday decreasing to 20% chance of SCA winds on Sunday, with a brief decrease below advisory levels possible Friday night.

For the Inner Waters north of Point Sal, moderate confidence in forecast. SCA level seas are expected to last through Friday.
Winds are expected to be below advisory levels through Thursday morning, followed by a 30-40% chance of winds increasing to SCA levels Thursday afternoon into early Friday morning. There is a 20% chance of SCA level NE winds nearshore Friday night into Saturday morning.

For the Inner Waters south of Point Conception, moderate to high confidence in forecast. There is a 60% chance of NW SCA level winds across the western portion of the Santa Barbara Channel this evening, expanding to the western portions of the all the southern inner waters by Thursday afternoon through evening. Lower confidence in the winds starting late Thursday night through Saturday. There is a 20-30% chance of N to NE SCA level winds Friday night into Saturday morning from Malibu to Santa Monica, and possibly extending as far south to Catalina Island briefly.
Winds will shift more NE Friday night, with a 30-40% chance of at least SCA winds from Ventura to Santa Monica and out past Anacapa Island as well as a 20% chance from Orange County out to Catalina Island.

BEACHES
06/332 AM.

The next long period NW swell (18-21 seconds) will affect the coastal waters through Thursday. Expect 10 to 14 feet for Central Coast beaches, 5 to 8 feet with local sets to 9 feet for Ventura County beaches, and elevated surf of 3 to 6 feet for LA County beaches. There is a 20% chance of high surf of 10 feet lingering into Friday afternoon along the Central Coast beaches. Surf heights will be highest across west and northwest facing beaches.
Due to low astronomical tides, any coastal flooding will be very minimal.
