SYNOPSIS

28/111 PM.

Skies will be clear the next several days except for some high clouds at times. High temperatures will climb each day through Saturday, with temperatures warming into the 70s and 80s. Locally breezy Santa Ana winds are likely late tonight into the weekend.

LONG TERM (SUN-WED)

28/211 PM.

Overall the warm and dry pattern will continue through next week but with a little dip in temperatures Sunday and Monday as a weak system moves into the Pac NW and gradients turn lightly onshore. But even during this period temperatures will still be at least 3-6 degrees above normal.

The rest of next week will be very warm, especially Tuesday through Thursday, with the potential for even warmer temperatures than this week depending on the track of a low pressure system dropping through the Great Basin. Some solutions swing the low back towards southeast California next Wednesday which could force some cold air advection into the area, but more solutions favor a farther east trajectory which would result in warmer temps locally. Either way, no chances for any rain next week and likely through at least the first 10 days of February.

AVIATION

29/0127Z.

At 0031Z at KLAX, there was a surface-based inversion with a top at 1600 ft with a temp of 19 deg C.

High confidence in TAFs, except moderate confidence at KPRB due to a 20% chance of VLIFR conditions after 08Z tonight. Lgt-mdt turbulence will be possible through the period over and around the higher terrain.

KLAX...High confidence in TAF. Good confidence that any east wind component will remain less than 7 knots.

KBUR...High confidence in TAF.

MARINE

28/1227 PM.

Generally Moderate to high confidence in the current forecast.

For the waters south and west of the Channel Islands, there is a high- to- likely (50-70 percent) chance of Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level winds through Thursday night. Conds should be below SCA levels for the northern inner and outer waters during the period. For Friday through Mon night, conds will largely remain below SCA levels, except for an increase in seas to SCA levels by later Sun or Sun night.

Inside the southern California bight, wind and seas will very likely remain below SCA levels through this evening, then areas of north to northeast winds to SCA levels are expected for the nearshore coastal waters off the Ventura County Coast to Malibu each night and morning through Thursday night. Conds should then be below SCA levels Fri through Mon night.
