SYNOPSIS
26/314 AM.
Strong onshore flow will create windy conditions across most of the area today and tonight. Temperatures will be cooler than normal across Southwest California through today. Look for some showers on the north mountain slopes through Saturday morning, otherwise dry weather can be expected along with gradually warmer temperatures this weekend into the middle of next week.
.SHORT TERM (TDY-SUN)...26/339 AM.
An inside slider is slowly making its way down the CA/NV coast today and will exit into AZ this evening. This will be the weather maker for today and this evening.
Currently there is a 5000 ft deep moist layer with no capping inversion this has allowed for a very haphazard cloud pattern to develop. North flow has kept most of the csts/vlys south of Pt Conception clear although there are a grip of clouds across SE LA county. Western SBA county is also full of clouds due to west flow. The developing north flow has brought cloudy skies to all of the north slopes along with a slight chc of showers that will persist through the day. It will be another cool day despite some warming across SLO and SBA county with max temps 6 to 12 degrees blo normals.
Winds will be the biggest concern today. West to northwest winds will increase through the day as the inside slider brings increasing north flow aloft and offshore N to S pressure grads at the sfc. A little cool air advection will force some of the stronger winds aloft down to the sfc as well. Warning level gusts from 60 to 65 mph will develop through the I-5 corridor and the later across the western foothills and Antelope Vly. These strong winds will bring clouds of blowing dust across the Antelope Vly which will bring visibilities down to a mile or less. Strong advisory level winds will affect most of the rest of the mtns.
Very strong winds will develop across the inner waters and these winds will come ashore with advisory level gusts of 35 to 40 mph.
Please refer to the product LAXNPWLOX for all of the details.
The strongest winds will occur this evening over the mtns as the inside slider moves into AZ and the best upper level support develops. The strong winds will prevent any coastal clouds. The north winds will continue to bring plenty of upslope clouds to the north slopes as well as a chc of showers. An inch or 2 of snow is possible over 6000 ft. Gradients and upper level support will slowly fade starting late in the evening and winds will diminish after midnight.
Saturday will be a nice if somewhat breezy day. A ridge will move into the state and hgts will rise to about 572 dam. These hgt rises along with continued offshore flow form the north and cloud free skies will result in 3 to 6 degrees of warming across the area.
Weak ridging and 574 dam hgts will make for a very pleasant weather day on Sunday. The winds will be greatly diminished and most areas will see 1 to 3 degrees of warming. Most cst/vly max temps will end up in the mid 60s to mid 70s.
.LONG TERM (MON-THU)...26/347 AM.
The EC and GFS deterministic and mean ensembles are in generally good agreement during the extended period. Weak cyclonic flow will be over the state on Mon and Tue there will be an increase in cyclonic flow on Wed and Thu.
Onshore flow will slowly increase through the period and will end up being fairly strong towards the end of next week. There may be a slight return of low clouds Mon and Tue but more extensive low clouds are likely in the latter half of next week.
Despite the cyclonic flow hgts are fcst to rise Monday and Tue and this should allow for two more day of warming. Tuesday should be the warmest day of the next 7 with most max temps 2 to 4 degrees above normal (the beaches might be below normal). The increased onshore flow slightly lower hgts and increased marine layer will bring a cooling trend for Wed and Thu.
AVIATION
26/0156Z.
At 0019Z at KLAX, the marine layer was up to 4900 ft under an inversion with a top around 6800 ft and a temperature of 7 C.
Moderate confidence in TAFs. Expecting MVFR to VFR cigs with a very deep marine layer. Lower confidence in timing of MVFR conditions, but they will be most likely overnight into the early morning hours. Gusty N to NW winds will affect the higher terrain of the southern SBA County eastward to the Antelope Valley. LLWS and turbulence, with mdt UDDF near the mtns.
KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF, with uncertainty in OVC015 cig arrival and clearing times. There is a 20% chance that conds will be BKN035 or higher tonight. There is a 30% chance of east winds reaching 8 kts from 07Z-14Z.
KBUR...Moderate confidence in TAF, with uncertainty in OVC015 cig arrival and clearing times.
MARINE
25/1058 PM.
In the Outer Waters, the Gale Watches have been converted to Gale Warnings. The Gale Warnings for the southern two zones (PZZ673/676) have been moved up to begin at 11PM tonight, as winds are already gusting to 30 kt. The Small Craft Advisory for the waters north of Point Sal look on track, and expecting gales to start Friday afternoon. May need to extend the Gale Warnings for all outer waters out through Tuesday night. Expecting at least SCA level winds and/or seas are to continue thru Tuesday night.
For the Inner Waters N of Pt. Sal, SCA level winds/seas are occuring and will likely continue much of the time thru Tue, particularly during the afternoons and evenings. There is a 50-70% chance of gales Fri afternoon/evening, with a 30% chance of gales returning Sat afternoon/evening.
In the Inner Waters S Pt Conception, winds may occasionally drop below SCA levels late tonight. The Gale Watches have been converted to Gale Warnings and look on track, with SCA winds leading up to Gales on Friday. The strongest winds should move further to the west on Saturday as they turn more northerly but there is a with a 40-50% chance of gales Sat afternoon into Sat night. Sunday and Monday SCA winds will linger for the SBA Channel and the western portions of the southern inner waters.
Friday, seas are expected to build to around 8-12 feet, especially for the waters south of the Channel Islands. Widespread gale force winds and gale force nearshore winds will create dangerous ocean conditions with short-period, steep, choppy waves and could create breaking waves at west-facing harbors. Mariners should remain in safe harbor until conditions improve.
