Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 324 AM PST Wed Feb 19 2025
SYNOPSIS
18/906 PM.
Dry weather and warming temperatures are expected this week with highs well above normal by Sunday and Monday. Skies will be mostly sunny, expect for periods of low clouds and fog near the coast and some high clouds. Areas of gusty northerly winds are expected Wednesday through Friday.
.SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...19/323 AM.
Mostly sunny skies are expected today through Friday, except for some scattered high clouds that are currently streaming across the region. There is also a chance of marine layer low clouds and fog for the LA Basin this morning and again Thursday morning.
An inside slider trough passing to the northeast of the region will bring periods of moderate offshore winds this afternoon through Friday. Tonight through Thursday morning, gusts 40 to 50 mph out of the north- to- northeast will be common across the mountains. Gusts 30 to 40 mph are expected for the wind prone valleys of Los Angeles and Ventura County (including the Santa Clarita Valley, western San Fernando Valley and Agoura Hills/Calabasas). Wind Advisories have been issued starting this afternoon/evening, please see NPWLOX for more details.
Thursday night into Friday morning, a moderate Santa Ana northeast wind event is expected. Winds will be focused over the wind prone corridor in LA/Ventura Counties and the Santa Lucia Mountains in San Luis Obispo County.
The offshore winds will result in a general warming temperature trend through Friday, especially for coasts and valleys. Daytime highs today and Thursday will mostly be in the upper 60s to mid 70s, followed by a greater bump for Friday. Expect highs in the mid 70s to low 80s to be common, especially for LA/Ventura Counties.
.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...18/253 PM.
The weekend will likely be a lull in wind for most of Southwest California with continued warming for many areas as a ridge peaks across the region with widespread highs in the 70s with some 80s possible in the warmest areas.
Early next week northwest to northerly flow will likely increase, possibly leading to advisory northwest to north winds focused across prone areas such as southwest Santa Barbara County and interior mountains and deserts including the I-5 corridor in the mountains. Onshore trends or a possible eddy for southern areas will favor an increase in night to morning low clouds and fog especially for coastal areas of Los Angeles, Ventura, and the Santa Barbara County South Coast. Above normal temperatures will likely continue except for near the coast where increased marine influence may reduce temperatures closer to normal.
Rain chances are minimal to none through to near the end of the month if not into early March, when there is some signal for wet weather to potentially return.
AVIATION
19/0724Z.
At 0534Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 600 ft deep with an inversion up to 1400 ft with a maximum temperature of 17 C.
Moderate to high confidence in forecast. LIFR to IFR conditions are possible from 08Z-16Z for KLAX and KLGB, with a slight chance at KSMO and KPRB.
KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF, there is a 40 percent chance VFR conditions through the period. No significant east wind component expected.
KBUR...High confidence in TAF.
MARINE
18/930 PM.
The Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level northwest winds will continue to shrink in coverage through Wednesday morning, then the winds will strengthen again Wednesday afternoon and night, expanding into the nearshore waters of the Central Coast and western Santa Barbara Channel. These expanse of the winds will change little on Thursday, but there is a moderate to high chance of GALES from near Point Conception south to San Nicolas Island and in the vicinity of the Channel Islands. The winds will shift to northeasterly Friday morning and there is a moderate chance of low-end SCA level winds from Ventura through Santa Monica, and a low chance of such winds from Orange County to Catalina. Moderate confidence in relatively light winds to follow over the weekend, except for low-end SCA northwest winds beyond 20 miles from shore.
The currently large SCA-level seas will continue to subside through tonight. The seas are running larger than models are indicating, as is usual for larger seas. Seas will build again Wednesday Night into Thursday.
