SYNOPSIS

24/819 PM.

A slow warming trend will begin Sunday with breezy Santa Ana winds. High temperatures will be 4 to 8 degrees above normal Monday and Tuesday. Very light rain is possible along the Central Coast later Wednesday into Thursday morning along with cooling temperatures area wide. Then another warming trend will develop Friday through next weekend.

LONG TERM (WED-SAT)

24/209 PM.

The tail end of storm system that is mostly targeting the Pac NW may have enough energy left to bring some light rain to the Central Coast Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday. Roughly 20% of the ensemble solutions show this with the farthest extent of any precip being around the Santa Barbara area. Otherwise, the main impact will be a few degrees of cooling area-wide as offshore weakens slightly.

Dry and at least slightly warmer temperatures are expected later in the week as a strongly positive-tilted high pressure system hits the West coast. Highs expected to be at least 3-6 degrees above normal with a about a 60% chance of highs reaching 80 in the LA/Ventura valleys next weekend and mid to upper 70s closer to the coast.

MARINE

24/818 PM.

For the Outer Waters, high confidence in current forecast. Today through Wednesday, winds and seas are expected to remain below Small Craft Advisory (SCA) levels. However, for PZZ676 there is a 30-40% chance of gusts to 25 kts Sunday morning as easterly winds push off the coast and across the zone. By Thursday the northern outer waters west of the Central Coast (PZZ670) could begin to see 10' seas but confidence in the overall wind pattern driving the building swell is low.

For the Inner Waters north of Point Sal, high confidence in current forecast with winds and seas expected to remain below SCA levels.

For the Inner Waters south of Point Conception, moderate confidence in current forecast. From Ventura to Santa Monica, there is about a 30-40% chance of SCA-level northeast winds Sunday morning, but the seas will remain around 5'. At this time, local gusts to 25 knots are forecast, but more widespread SCA level winds are possible 4 AM to around noon Sunday. Otherwise, winds and seas will remain below SCA levels through Wednesday.
