SYNOPSIS

29/310 AM.

Hot and muggy conditions will linger in some areas through Saturday, with widespread improvement by Sunday. More warm, tropical moisture could return Tuesday through Thursday. Marine layer clouds will gradually redevelop, and increase in coverage Sunday into early this coming week.

LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)

29/346 AM.

Uncertainty remains in the 4-7 day forecast as there are still some solutions favoring a return to a more tropical pattern next week and beyond. However, more of the ensemble solutions are leaning toward a relatively normal weather pattern through mid week with a slow warming trend Wed into next weekend that could bring 90 degree temps back to Downtown LA and around 100-105 in the warmer valleys.

AVIATION

At 06Z at KLAX, no marine layer was present, nor inversion.

Overall, moderate confidence TAF Package. Low confidence in any marine layer clouds forming tonight, highest chances would be for KSBP and KSMX. There is a 60% chance of VFR conditions through the period for KSMX.

KLAX...High confidence in TAF. SCT to BKN cigs above 10KFT are possible at times through the period, and the east wind component is expected to stay 6 kt or lower.

KBUR...High confidence in TAF. SCT to BKN cigs above 10KFT are possible at times.

MARINE

28/748 PM.

Through this weekend, high confidence in Small Craft Advisory winds and choppy seas for the outer waters. These hazardous conditions will reach into the nearshore waters along the Central Coast and into the Santa Barbara Channel at times (especially during the afternoon/eve hours). Local gusts may approach 35 kt near Point Conception Saturday evening. For next week, most waters are likely to fall below SCA levels Monday and Tuesday. Increasing chances for SCA conditions later in the week but signal isn't strong, moderate at best.
