SYNOPSIS
25/240 AM.
Strong onshore flow and a deep marine layer will keep temperatures much cooler than normal across much of Southwest California through Friday. Warmer weather is expected by the weekend into early next week.
.SHORT TERM (TDY-SAT)...25/317 AM.
The marine layer is 3300 ft deep. There is strong onshore flow to the east and weak but increasing onshore flow to the north. Marine layer stratus cover most of the area save for the Antelope Vly and the SBA south coast (due to N to S offshore flow). A weak trof passed over the area last evening and now brisk NW flow is moving into and over the state. The marine layer is so deep and the capping inversion so weak that reverse clearing is likely today.
N to NW flow will be increasing through the day and its possible that this will create a little better clearing than fcst. NW to W flow will bring near advisory wind gusts to the mtns and the western Antelope Vly. Higher hgts will bring some warming to the Central Coast, while north flow will bring noticeable warming to the SBA south coast. Residual cool air and the strong onshore push will team up to cool most of LA and VTA county. It will be another cool day with max temps 6 to 12 degrees blo normal.
The north winds will increase today and advisory levels gusts will develop in the early evening across the SW portion of SBA county where a wind advisory is in effect from 6pm to 6am. Strong winds will develop more slowly across the mtns and Antelope Vly and wind advisories will likely be issued later in the day these areas. The north flow will also bring upslope clouds and a slight chc of showers to north slopes near the Kern County line. Low confidence in the stratus forecast which may well be mixed out. Right now betting on the the north winds to clear out most of VTA county and the SBA south coast with cloudy conds across LA county and the Central Coast.
Friday will be a breezy day as the NW flow reaches its maximum.
These winds will scour out the low clouds and will be a sunny day.
Advisory level gusts are likely for the Santa Ynez Mountains, VTA mtns, northern I-5 corridor, and Antelope Valley. Look for 3 to 6 degrees of warming which will only make a small dent in the below normal max temps.
A little inside slider will move down the CA/NV border Friday night and will again bring a slight chc of N slopes showers to the N slopes near the Kern county line. It will also reinforce the N winds and advisory level northerly winds will likely continue through dawn in the mtns and Antelope Vly with the strongest winds focused through the I-5 corridor.
Saturday will see sunny skies and decreasing winds. 3 to 6 degrees of warming will result from the offshore flow from the north, the lack of marine layer, sunny skies and rising hgts.
.LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...25/326 AM.
Sunday and Monday will be very nice days with plenty of sunshine and warming temps. All brought about by a weak ridge moving overhead, weaker onshore flow to the east and continued offshore flow from the north. Monday will likely be the warmest day of the next 7 with highs in the 70s and lower 80s in the valleys and upper 60s and 70s near the coast. These max temps will end up a degree or 2 either side of normals.
Tuesday may have similar temps to Monday or it will cool some. It all depends on how quickly the ridge breaks down and onshore flow increases.
Troffing and increased onshore flow and a likely return of coastal low clouds will ensure that Wednesday ends up about 4 degrees cooler than Tuesday.
AVIATION
25/1310Z.
At 12Z at KLAX, there was no true marine layer, but a moist layer up to about 7000 feet.
Widespread clouds were affecting the forecast area except for the Antelope Valley and the highest mtns. Conds were mostly low VFR to high MVFR, except IFR to VLIFR in the foothills/mtns. Skies should become partly cloudy in most areas by late morning. Even where it stays cloudy, cigs should be in the VFR category, except in the foothills and mtns, where IFR conds may persist. Expect widespread clouds again tonight, but with a weakening inversion, clouds may be less solid in nature. Expect high MVFR to VFR cigs tonight, except IFR to VLIFR conds in the foothills/mtns. Gusty NW winds will affect southern SBA County and the I-5 Corridor, with gusty W winds in the Antelope Valley. There will be some LLWS and turbulence, with mdt UDDF near the mtns.
KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF. Conds are expected to improve to VFR by mid morning. There is a 20% chance that MVFR cigs will persist until 19Z-20Z. There is a 20% chance that cigs will scatter out from 21Z today to 03Z Fri. There is a 20% chance that conds will remain VFR tonight, with cigs above 3000 ft. No east wind component expected.
KBUR...Moderate confidence in TAF. Conds are expected to improve to VFR by noon. There is a 20% chance that cigs will rise into the VFR category as early as 17Z. There is a 20% chance that cigs will scatter out from 21Z today to 03Z Fri. There is a 20% chance that conds will remain VFR tonight, with cigs above 3000 ft.
MARINE
25/611 AM.
In the Outer Waters, good confidence that winds will reach Small Craft Advisory (SCA) levels this morning, or at least by early afternoon. SCA level winds and seas will likely continue thru Mon.
There is a 20% chance of gales in the southern 2 zones (PZZ673/676)
this evening thru late tonight. There is a 60-70% chance of gales across all of the outer waters Fri morning or early Fri afternoon thru late Fri night, best chances in the southern 2 zones. There is a 50% chance that gales will occur again Sat afternoon into Sat night or possibly Sun, especially in the southern zones.
For the Inner Waters N of Pt. Sal, good confidence that winds will reach SCA levels this morning or early this afternoon. SCA level winds/seas will likely continue much of the time thru Mon. There is a 50% chance of gales Fri afternoon/evening, with a 30% chance of gales into Sat evening, with a brief respite Sat morning.
In the Inner Waters S Pt Conception, SCA conds are likely in western portions of the SBA Channel by noon, spreading across the rest of the Channel and into western portions of the southern inner waters this afternoon. Winds may occasionally drop below SCA levels late tonight or early Fri near the coast, then SCA level winds and seas are expected from late Fri morning thru Sat night, and most likely thru Mon. There is a 60-70% chance of gales Fri afternoon into Fri night, with a 40-50% chance of gales Sat afternoon into Sat night.
