Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Glendale, CA

.SHORT TERM (TDY-THU)...17/311 AM.

Another warm and sunny day on tap. Weakening onshore flow to the east and actual offshore flow from the north have limited marine layer stratus to southern LA county and western SBA county. Weak ridging will bring 590 dam hgts to the area and this along with the weaker/offshore sfc gradients will bring another day of well above normal temps. Most temps will rise 1 to 2 degrees. Most max temps away from the cst will end up about 12 degrees over normal.
This warming will bring temps up to just under advisory levels.
People working or playing outdoors away from the coasts should still take precautions for the heat. Look for triple digit heat in the western San Fernando Vly, the Santa Clarita Vly and the Antelope Vly with 90s very common in other vly locations.

An eddy is still slated to arrive tonight and this will bring some more low clouds to the area esp southern LA county. The eddy will bring some cooler sea air to LA VTA csts and vlys and max temps there will fall by 2 to 4 degrees. The SBA south coast will cool 5 to 10 degrees as the northerly flow cuts off.

A trof will move into the area on Thursday and hgts will lower to about 588 dam. More importantly there will be onshore flow both the east and north. 4 to 8 degrees of cooling will ensue most max temps will be near normal xcp the Central Coast (3 to 6 degrees blo normal) and the Antelope Vly (6 to 8 degrees over normal)

.LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...17/321 AM.

Cyclonic flow will cover the west coast for the duration of the xtnd period. The onshore push to the east will increase to 7 or 8 mb on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Look for a return of June Gloom with low clouds covering the csts and most of the vlys.
Clearing will be slower than normal and more than a few beaches will likely remain cloudy all day. Max temps will fall 2 to 4 degrees (3 to 6 Antelope Vly and far interior vlys) on Friday and then another 2 to 4 degrees (4 to 8 Antelope Vly and far interior vlys) on Saturday. Max temps Saturday will end up 3 to 6 locally 8 degrees blo normal.

Offshore trends will reduce the amount and duration of the low clouds on Sunday and max temp will bump up 2 to 4 degrees across the board.

Onshore flow rebounds on Monday with a corresponding increase in low clouds and decrease in afternoon temps.

Across the Santa Barbara Channel this afternoon through evening, widespread Small Craft conditions are expected, with local Gale force winds possible across the western portions of the zone (away from Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Channel Islands Harbors). After a lull Wednesday, a return of SCA level winds is likely Thursday through the weekend, potentially impacting immediate coastlines this weekend. Gale force gusts are possible in the western portion of the zone Friday and Saturday.

High confidence in conditions remaining below advisory levels in the Inner Waters off the Los Angeles and Orange County coasts through Wednesday, with localized W to NW SCA level wind gusts possible in the afternoon and evening hours near Malibu and through portions of the San Pedro Channel through Tuesday.
