Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 205 PM PDT Sun May 12 2024

SYNOPSIS
12/131 PM.

Quiet weather will continue the next several days with near to slightly below normal temperatures. Widespread night and morning low clouds are expected across coast and valleys as onshore flow increases. Temperatures will cool slightly through Wednesday, then warm slightly the end of the week. Gusty winds are likely across the mountains and Antelope Valley each afternoon.

.SHORT TERM (TDY-WED)...12/151 PM.

Overall a very quiet pattern this coming week. Weak high pressure over the area today will be replaced by a slow moving weak upper low through Wed. During this time onshore flow will be increasing, as will the marine layer depth and daily clearing times. Like the last couple days areas within a few miles of the coast will struggle to clear at all, especially from Malibu north.
Temperatures will begin a slow decline, especially inland, with most areas either at or slightly below normal. Main exception will be the Antelope Valley and mountains which will be 3-6 degrees above normal through the period. Onshore afternoon breezes will be increasing, possibly to near advisory levels by Tue/Wed in the AV. There's a very small chance (10% or less) for showers and thunderstorms over the mountains each afternoon. Possibly slightly higher chances Tue as the upper low is closest in proximity before it moves southeast Wed.

.LONG TERM (THU-SUN)...12/201 PM.

Deterministic models are closely following the ensembles mean solution for the end of the week and into next weekend, which is high pressure pushing closer to the West Coast Thu and Fri, then retreating to 140w next weekend as another trough falls out of the Gulf of Alaska and into the Pac NW. For coast and valleys probably not much change in the drab night and morning low clouds and fog pattern and minimal variations in daytime temps.
Mountains and interior areas will see some warming later in the week as the high gets closer and onshore flow weakens. But then turning slightly cooler again next weekend.
