Area Forecast Discussion . UPDATED National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 230 PM PST Wed Mar 3 2021
SYNOPSIS. 03/201 PM.
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 at times from Saturday through Wednesday, especially in the mountains and Antelope Valley. Light rain is possible along the Central Coast Saturday. A couple of stronger and colder storms are possible between late next Monday and Wednesday.
SHORT TERM (TDY-SAT). 03/147 PM.
An upper low moved through the area today with rain reported as far north as Santa Barbara. Highest totals were in LA County, specifically the southern part where there also was some very brief convective activity. Showers appear to be winding down this afternoon and moving east. Satellite still shows some bubbly clouds over the coastal waters southwest of Catalina so a few more scattered showers or even an isolated storm can't be ruled out there through the afternoon.
Quiet weather with a warming trend the next couple days as high pressure aloft develops and gradients start trending offshore. Expecting the warmest day to be Friday with light offshore flow and temps in the 70s most lower elevation areas south of Pt Conception.
Saturday the next system arrives along the West Coast but it's moving inland across the Bay Area. At best we're looking at some light rain across the Central Coast though again models are divided on whether it will even make it into SLO County. Either way it's a light event and not expected to bring rain to LA or Ventura Counties. Some gusty onshore winds possible in the afternoon, especially Antelope Valley, and several degrees of cooling expected. Possibly some low end advisory level Sundowner winds possible in the SB area Saturday evening.
LONG TERM (SUN-WED). 03/155 PM.
Dry weather expected Sunday with light onshore flow. Looks like a decent chance for a couple storms to come through the area next week, though timing and strength still uncertain. Best chances based on the ensembles are Tuesday and Wednesday. Not major storms at this point but likely more precip than the current system.
