Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 429 PM PST Fri Dec 8 2023

SYNOPSIS
08/150 PM.

Moderate to strong Santa Ana winds will develop tonight and continue into Saturday, with areas of strong to damaging winds expected across Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. Gusty offshore winds are expected to continue into Sunday, then weaken by Monday, before moderate to possibly strong Santa Ana winds return for the middle of next week. High temperatures are expected to be above- normal in many areas for this weekend into next week.

.SHORT TERM (TDY-MON)...08/202 PM.

Offshore pressure gradients continue strengthening in response to surface high pressure building over the Great Basin, with the LAX-DAG gradient reaching 2-3 mb early this afternoon. This gradient is forecast to double or triple in magnitude tonight into Saturday, while modest upper support resides over the area along the southwestern rim of a deepening cyclone over the central CONUS. In response to these developments, Santa Ana winds will become moderate to strong tonight into Saturday. Prior to the onset of the northeasterly wind surge tonight, more northerly gradients will support advisory-level wind gusts over the eastern Santa Barbara County mountains this evening, with isolated gusts to 60 mph possible near Montecito Hills.

Prior High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories very well handle the situation, and overall little change has been made to these headlines. The only changes were to expand the Wind Advisory northward across the San Luis Obispo County mountains including the Santa Lucia range (for tonight), and eastward across the eastern San Gabriel Mountains (for tonight into Saturday). The latest observational data and high-resolution model guidance suggest that the offshore gradients will be strong enough to support advisory-level northeast wind gusts in these areas. No other changes have been made to advisories or warnings. Areas of northeast gusts to 60-70 mph are expected in the warnings, with gusts to 45-55 mph expected in the advisories. These winds will develop over the Los Angeles and Ventura County mountains this evening, spread across the valleys toward the Malibu coast overnight, with peak winds expected late tonight through Saturday morning.

The coverage and intensity of strong winds are expected to gradually decrease Saturday afternoon. Any lingering strong wind gusts should become confined to the mountains for the remainder of this weekend into Monday, while moderate offshore pressure gradients continue and upper support weakens. Wind Advisories may need to be extended later in the weekend over the higher terrain of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

Downslope flow and mostly clear skies will result in high temperatures reaching a few to several degrees above normal each day through Monday in many areas. Meanwhile, cold overnight lows in the 20s and 30s are expected in interior sections.

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...08/207 PM.

The upper pattern will favor persistent offshore flow across southern California through much of next week, while a couple of impulses drop south-southeastward over the Intermountain West and reinforce troughing over the central/western CONUS. As a result, westward displacement of the upper troughing will push upper support closer to the area for the middle of next week. While offshore pressure gradients will continue to be enhanced, the upper support could increase Santa Ana winds back to moderate to perhaps strong levels Tuesday night through Thursday. However, there is variability among model solutions concerning the depth, location, and motion of these impulses, which corresponds to significant uncertainty in the strength of offshore flow for the middle of next week. Regardless, amongst these variable solutions, there is high confidence that the pattern favors dry conditions continuing. High temperatures are expected to be above normal each day next week, though could be cooler if one of the upper impulses were to become deeper and move closer to the area.

AVIATION
09/0028Z.

At 0015Z, the marine inversion was based at 1500 feet with a top at 4000 feet with a temperature of 13C at KLAX.

Moderate to high confidence in 00Z TAF package. High confidence in VFR conditions for all sites through the period. Moderate confidence in wind forecast. There will likely be some turbulence and LLWS across a wide area, particularly the mountains and foothills late tonight and Saturday morning.

KLAX...Moderate to high confidence in 00Z TAF. High confidence in CAVU conditions through the period. Moderate confidence in wind forecast with a 50% chance of easterly winds around 6 knots 12Z-18Z Sat.

KBUR...High confidence in 00Z TAF. CAVU conditions are anticipated through the period. LLWS is possible at times.

MARINE
08/116 PM.

For the Outer Waters, low confidence in current forecast. Today through tonight, the winds in PZZ673 and PZZ676 have surged back up into the GALE WARNING criteria at buoy 46069 with wind gusts to near 40 knots. A GALE WARNING has been reissued for those two zones through 05z this evening. Later tonight, the winds will drop to SCA levels again. On Saturday, SCA level northeast winds will continue across PZZ676, with winds and seas dropping below SCA levels across PZZ670/673. For Saturday night and Sunday, there is a 30-40% chance of SCA level winds continuing across PZZ676. For Monday and Tuesday, there is a 50-70% chance of SCA level northwesterly winds across all the Outer Waters.

For the Inner Waters north of Point Sal, moderate confidence in current forecast. Other than a 20% chance of SCA level winds this afternoon and tonight, winds and seas are expected to remain below SCA levels through Tuesday.

For the Inner Waters south of Point Conception, moderate confidence in current forecast. For today, winds and seas are expected to remain below SCA levels. For tonight and Saturday, SCA level northeast winds and choppy seas are all but guaranteed for the nearshore inner waters from Ventura southward with the strongest winds from Point Mugu to Santa Monica and out to Anacapa Island and slightly weaker winds from Orange county out to Catalina Island. The Gale Watch for tonight into Saturday for the nearshore portion of the inner waters from Ventura to Santa Monica has been upgraded to a GALE WARNING, starting around midnight. The exact starting time of these winds is a low confidence call. For Saturday night and Sunday, there is a 40-50% chance of SCA level northeast winds continuing from Ventura southward. For Monday and Tuesday, high confidence in winds and seas remaining below SCA levels for all the southern Inner Waters.

BEACHES
08/117 PM.

Long period NW swell (15-18 seconds) will affect the coastal waters through today. For the Central Coast, surf heights of 9 to 12 feet can be expected. For the Ventura county beaches, surf heights of 4 to 7 feet with local sets to 8 feet can be expected.
HIGH SURF ADVISORIES will remain in effect for these areas through 400 PM this afternoon. Elsewhere, a BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT will remain in effect through 400 PM this afternoon for dangerous rip currents and elevated surf of 4 to 6 feet.
