SYNOPSIS

01/137 PM.

Showers will be tapering off this afternoon and sunshine will prevail the rest of today. Dry and warmer conditions can be expected throughout this coming week until at least Wednesday.

LONG TERM (THU-SUN)

01/147 PM.

The offshore wind and gradual warming trend will continue in the long term from Thursday into the weekend. Offshore gradients are expected to increase late in the week and peak on Saturday at about a minus 4, which would lead to warmer temperatures and some gusty offshore winds, primarily in LA and Ventura Counties. The recent rains will mitigate some of the fire weather risk, but certainly not over the whole CWA.

Looking into the extended forecast, there is another trough dropping down the coast beginning around the Wednesday the 11st that ensembles suggest could bring the next rain to the CWA.
