SYNOPSIS

09/612 PM.

Gusty Santa Ana winds will continue through at least the weekend, mainly across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. There will be a slow warming trend into next week, though overnight lows will remain chilly.

LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)

09/204 PM.

A very quiet period of weather as the high pressure ridge continues to build over the state through mid-week. Temperatures will continue to warm by 1-3 degrees each day, likely peaking Wednesday and Thursday with LA/Ventura valleys in the low to mid 80s and most other areas in the 70s to near 80. Virtually all the ensemble models maintain the ridge through at least the 20th so expect a long duration of clear skies and at least 5-15 degrees above normal.

MARINE

09/605 PM.

Gusty northeast winds will create steep and hazardous seas and will persist each day into at least the weekend, with strongest winds in the morning hours. With the exception of the Santa Monica Bay, these winds will be focused from Ventura through Orange County, including the Channel Islands and Catalina Island. The winds will be strongest from Point Mugu through Malibu. There will be difficult-to-forecast variations in the winds and seas, especially in the afternoon and evening hours, but expect hazardous conditions at some point each day. These winds should weaken some Monday through Thursday, but could remain gusty.

Small Craft Advisories (SCA) across the Outer Waters will continue through late tonight, mainly for large seas from the Central Coast to San Nicolas Island. The waters from the Santa Cruz Island to San Nicolas Island will also experience northeast winds, thus the SCAs will continue there into Sunday along with the Inner Waters zones south of Point Conception.
