SYNOPSIS

12/208 AM.

Night through morning low clouds and fog will cover most of the coasts and many valley locations through the weekend and into early next week. Highs will cool slightly through Sunday. Most high temperatures will remain above normal, with the exception of the coasts, which will see temperatures near to slightly below normal.

LONG TERM (MON-THU)

12/208 AM.

Very little to say about the long term forecast into later next week. Its June and the weather will be June like. Weak flow will continue at the upper levels as the jet stream will be over WA. At the sfc there will be little day to day change in the gradient pattern with mdt-stg onshore flow continuing both to the north and east.

There should be only minor day to day changes in the temperatures. The NBM mdl shows decent cooling both next Wed and Thu but with no changes in the synoptic pattern will take this fcst with a small grain of salt. Max temps will continue to run near normal across the csts/vlys and above normal for the mtns and far inland areas.

No major wind issues save for the typical gusty west winds in the Antelope Vly in the afternoon.

AVIATION

MARINE

12/232 AM.

Conditions are generally expected to remain below Small Craft Advisory (SCA) levels through early next week.

Light winds, becoming W at 5 to 10 kts this afternoon. Local west to northwest wind gusts could reach or exceed 21 kts each afternoon through early next week near Pt Conception, Pt Dume, near the Channel Islands, western Santa Barbara Channel, and across the San Pedro Channel. There is a low chance of SCA winds this the weekend.

BEACHES

11/813 PM.

Another long period southerly swell (less energy) originating from the southern Hemisphere is expected to arrive on Saturday. Evening tides of near 7.5ft are predicted from Saturday through Tuesday. The combination of these two factors may result in minor to locally moderate coastal flooding for south exposed coasts, along with potential for elevated to high surf and sneaker waves. Even as tides lower, another southerly swell arrives which could extend concerns into Wednesday or Thursday. Stay tuned for updates.
