Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 914 PM PDT Thu Aug 13 2020
SYNOPSIS. 13/821 PM.
Partly cloudy and very hot conditions are expected Friday especially for valley and interior areas. There will also be a slight chance of thunderstorms for interior areas Friday afternoon. The heat is expected to last into early next week. Night and morning low clouds and fog will be minimal, and confined near the coast.
SHORT TERM (THU-SUN). 13/914 PM.
The latest infrared satellite imagery shows the remnant moisture from Elida mostly moving out the area this evening. Partly to mostly cloudy skies will linger through tonight as some clouds are still upstream, but the threat of any shower activity continues to wane tonight as the land mass loses daytime heating. Though showers did develop this morning as previously surmised, the air mass stable enough to inhibit showers and thunderstorm development over the area. Clearing skies in the late afternoon pushed the timing of high temperatures occurring in most locales into the afternoon and early evening hours, much different than climatological norms for southern California.
A warmer day is on tap for Friday for a majority of the area as high pressure over the Sonoran Desert near the Arizona-Mexico border builds northwest into Arizona. With the cloud mass clearing out on Friday, dangerously hot conditions are forecast to develop. Temperature well above normal for this time of year will occur with several sites likely setting or tying record high temperatures for Friday. Some sites in the hottest valley locations and across interior valleys could see temperature sky rocket close to 110 degrees. Know the signs of heat illness and heat stress. If you have outdoor plans tomorrow, plan to complete these activities in the cooler parts of the day. An excessive heat warning is in effect for much of inland areas of southern California.
A few tweaks were made to the forecast through Friday in the latest update.
***From Previous Discussion***
It will be another very warm night Fri night, with lows struggling to fall below 80 in the Antelope Valley, the foothills and even some valley locations. If there is any night through morning low clouds and fog, it will be confined to the immediate coast Fri night/Sat morning.
Heights will rise a bit more over the region on Sat as will temps at 950 mb. Gradients will remain rather weak, though may be slightly stronger onshore in the afternoon. Overall, expect little change in max temps on Sat, still very hot, with Excessive Heat warnings and Heat Advisories in effect for the same areas as those on Fri. N-S gradients across SBA County may bring some gusty sundowner winds to southern SBA County late Sat into Sat night.
The upper high will move northward a bit into Nevada and Utah Sunday and strengthen, keeping heights very high across the forecast area. The northward move may open the door for some monsoonal moisture moving into the area from the southeast. Have added in a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms over the mountains as a possibility accordingly.
LONG TERM (MON-THU). 13/223 PM.
Not much change in the pattern Mon through Thu, with the upper high bouncing from 595 to 600 DaM and centered over southern Nevada. The ridge weakens a bit by Thursday, but we're looking at a combination over hot days and very warm nights with excessive heat conditions in the valleys and mtns for a while.
Some models continue the monsoonal moisture push into the region through Tuesday and have added a chance of afternoon mountain thunder and showers accordingly.
AVIATION. 14/0044Z.
At 00Z, there was a surface based inversion up to around 2000 feet with a temperature near 32 degrees Celsius.
Low confidence in the current forecast. There is a slight chance to chance of LIFR conditions between 10Z and 16Z, highest for Central Coast terminals. MVFR conditions in smoke could affect KPMD, KWJF and KBUR from the fires between 10Z and 16Z.
KLAX . There is a 10 percent chance of LIFR conditions between 13Z and 16Z.
KBUR . There is a 30 percent chance of MVFR conditions in smoke between 10Z and 16Z.
MARINE. 13/818 PM.
Winds and seas will likely remain below Small Craft Advisory (SCA) levels through Saturday. There is a 20-30 percent chance of SCA level gusts during the afternoon and evening hours each day from Point Conception to San Nicolas Island. There is a better chance of (SCA) winds increasing from Point Conception to San Nicolas Island Saturday night through Sunday evening. Then good confidence grows with (SCA) level NW wind gusts across the entire outer waters through at least Monday night.
The best chance for Sundowner winds will occur Saturday and Sunday evenings affecting the western portion of the Santa Barbara Channel with NW gusts reaching (SCA) thresholds.
LOX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. CA . Heat Advisory in effect from 11 AM Friday to 9 PM PDT Sunday for zones 36-41. (See LAXNPWLOX). Excessive Heat Warning in effect from 11 AM Friday to 9 PM PDT Monday for zones 37-38-44>46-51>54-88-547. (See LAXNPWLOX). Excessive Heat Warning in effect from 11 AM Friday to 9 PM PDT Tuesday for zone 59. (See LAXNPWLOX). PZ . NONE.
.HAZARD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK (SUN-THU).
Triple digit high temperatures and very warm nights will bring the potential for excessive heat over many areas through Monday and, for far inland areas, into Tuesday or longer. There is a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms from Sunday through Tuesday.
