SYNOPSIS. 03/326 AM.
A weak storm system will bring cooler temperatures and a chance of light rain to Los Angeles and Ventura Counties today. A warming and drying trend is expected for Thursday and Friday as high pressure builds in aloft. Gusty west to northwest winds will be likely from Saturday through Tuesday.
SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI). 03/308 AM.
The latest IR satellite imagery early this morning shows an upper-level low around 300 miles southwest of Los Angeles. Models are in good agreement that the low will move eastward through the morning then move over the LA/Orange County area late this afternoon. Skies are mostly clear this morning save for high clouds streaming north of Santa Barbara County. Cloud cover will increase through the morning and all areas will become mostly cloudy by afternoon. Gusty southeast winds will develop at times over much of LA and Ventura Counties but will remain below advisory level. A chance of showers will develop later this morning across LA and Ventura Counties with the highest likelihood for eastern LA County. The chance diminishes as you go north, and have indicated a slight chance across the southeast portion of Santa Barbara County. However, if the low wobbles a bit to the north, then this chance could be greater. Similarly if it wobbles farther south, then the chances lower across the board. Showers will quickly end by this evening as the low quickly moves to the northeast and dry northwest flow aloft filters in behind. Rainfall totals are generally expected to range between 0.10 to 0.25 inches from eastern Ventura to LA County, with locally higher amounts up to 0.50 inches over the eastern San Gabriels. Western Ventura County and northward will likely receive less than 0.10 inch. With a cold pool aloft, there will be a slight chance of thunderstorms mainly over southern and eastern LA County and southward. Snow levels will be quite low with this system, around 4000 to 4500 feet. 2 to 4 inches of snow can be expected with local amounts to 6 inches over the higher peaks of the eastern San Gabriels. A Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect for the LA County mountains this afternoon and evening for moderate snow and gusty southeast winds. Temperatures will be around 8 to 12 degrees cooler than yesterday with high temperatures topping only in the low 60s. Gusty northwest winds will filter in by this evening and cloud cover will diminish. There could also be a return of marine layer stratus over the Central Coast late this evening.
High pressure will build over the region Thursday and Friday bringing back mostly sunny skies. There will be locally breezy east winds each day which will help bring some warming. Temperatures will rebound 4 to 8 degrees on Thursday then another 3 to 6 on Friday. This will bring high temperatures back above normal into the low to mid 70s on Friday.
LONG TERM (SAT-TUE). 03/323 AM.
Models are in better agreement today that an upper-level trough will push through northern California early Saturday. It will trail a decaying cold front down the coast and fizzle out by the time it reaches SoCal. It will bring partly to mostly cloudy skies across the area. There may be a slight chance of rain over northern portions of the Central Coast, but not expecting precipitation with this system. More significantly, gusty west to northwest winds will develop behind the front. Wind Advisories may be necessary, particularly for Santa Barbara County. These winds look to persist through Tuesday. The warm up slated for Thursday and Friday will be short-lived as temperatures fall back into the 60s on Saturday.
Models are indicating a couple of impulses moving into California next week which will potentially lead us into a wetter and more dynamic pattern. Still too early for details, but a couple of chances for light rain are possible. Not expecting much change in temperatures through the week with highs hovering around normal.
