SYNOPSIS

31/426 PM.

Minor cooling with locally dense fog near the coast is expected during the late night to morning hours Sunday and Monday. Another warming trend will likely begin Tuesday, with near record high temperatures possible and locally gusty Santa Ana winds.

LONG TERM (WED-SAT)

31/1128 AM.

Widespread 80+ degrees are expected across all coast and valleys, including parts of the Central Coast Wed and Thu with even a sprinkling of low 90s possible across inland parts of the coastal plane from Ventura County to Long Beach. This is right in the range of daily records for those dates so expect some more high temperature records to fall next week. Gusty Santa Ana winds are expected as well, strongest on Wednesday but continuing into Thursday as well.

A slow cooling trend will begin Thursday as high pressure weakens enough to allow a weak trough to move into the eastern Pacific, though high temperatures are expected to remain well above normal through at least next Saturday.

There are a few ensemble solutions indicating some very light rain as early as next Sunday, though the vast majority are holding off until at least the following Monday or later.

At 2347Z at KLAX, there was a surface-based inversion. The top of the inversion was around 1200 feet with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.

For the 00Z TAF package, high confidence in CAVU conditions for all sites. There will be a 10-20% chance of MVFR VSBYs at KPRB 12Z-16Z and a 10% chance of LIFR/VLIFR conds at KSMX 10Z-14Z.

Continued, weaker offshore flow will generate light LLWS and turbulence across the foothills and mountains through the period.

KLAX...High confidence in the 00Z TAF as CAVU conditions are expected through the period. Weak northeasterly winds under 5 knots are expected 08Z-18Z.

KBUR...High confidence in the 00Z TAF as CAVU conditions are expected through the period.
