SHORT TERM (TDY-WED). 15/155 PM.

THere are still a few clouds piled up over the Los Angeles and Ventura County mountains. There were light rain and snow showers earlier today with the snow level down to at least 5000 feet.

It's a chilly day across the region, with temps down 3-5 degrees at the coasts and valley sand 5-15 degrees in the mountains from those observed on Saturday.

Gusty advisory level northwest to north winds are affecting the mountains and adjacent south coast of Santa Barbara County, across the Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys, the Santa Monica Mountains, much of the L.A. County coast, and the mountains of L.A. and VTU Counties. Winds are expected to continue through this evening and wind Advisories are in effect. An upper ridge will amplify off the West Coast tonight, building heights about 5DM as it moves into the forecast area on Monday. All models show good offshore gradients with LAX-DAG on monday morning around -5 mb, and increasing during the day. Winds should peak Tuesday morning and the NAM currently has an impressive -9 mb LAX-DAG gradient. There is some upper-level support, but winds should stay in advisory-level range as opposed to a high wind warning.

Skies should be mostly clear Monday and there will be some warming with the rising heights and offshore flow.

The upper level ridge moves eastward allowing a trough to dip down beginning Tuesday afternoon. High clouds will increase, especially across northern and western sections where it will likely become rather cloudy. Not expecting a significant temperature change on Tuesday.

A negatively tilted trough will swing though the forecast area late Tuesday night and early Wednesday. A band of rain will move through SLO and SBA Counties, breaking apart as it moves south of and east of Point Conception on Wednesday. There is still a slight chance of rain in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties on Wednesday.

LONG TERM (THU-SUN). 15/203 PM.

Weak upper level ridging will move into the region on Thursday and linger into Friday, which should be the warmest day of the week in downtown LA. Dry weather is expected Thursday through Saturday, with increasing high clouds on Friday and Saturday with the approach of a large upper-level trough. The ridge will move east of the area Saturday and a large upper-level trough will approach the West Coast. Expecting light rain to start on Saturday and extended range ensembles suggest it could last through the following week and bring 2 or more inches to the area.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
