.SYNOPSIS...14/335 PM.

High pressure and offshore flow will bring very warm and dry
conditions across the region through the weekend. Gusty Santa Ana
winds will continue through the end of the week, mainly across
portions of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. The warmest
temperatures of the period will linger into Thursday, then a slow
cooling trend will start Friday.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...14/158 PM.

Very warm and dry conditions continue as this long standing Santa
Ana pattern goes into its seventh day. Today has been the warmest
day of the string, though Thursday probably won`t be much
different. Highs today have been within a few degrees of some
records but it doesn`t look like any will fall or tie today. The
warmest temps were in coastal Ventura County, including 87 at the
Oxnard forecast office and 88 near Pt Hueneme.

Breezy offshore winds continue today, mostly low end advisory
level and have extended some of those for another 24 hours, mainly
in the valley and mountain areas.

Another warm day on tap Thursday, likely within a degree or two of
today.

A very slow (1-2 degree/day) cooling trend will likely begin
Friday and last into next week but it`s going to take most of next
week before temperatures are back to normal levels.

.LONG TERM (SAT-TUE)...14/206 PM.

Well above normal temperatures will continue through at least
through Tuesday with highs in the in the mid 70s to mid 80s for
most coast/valley areas. High pressure will start to break
down around Wednesday with a return to onshore flow around that
time as well which will bring temperatures back to near normal
levels. The 18z GFS deterministic run actually shows a legitimate
upper low coming through the area next Thursday and Friday,
though the vast majority of the ensemble solutions indicate little
to no rain until next weekend at the earliest.

.AVIATION...14/2335Z.

Around 23Z, there was no marine layer depth at KLAX. There was a
surface-based inversion up to around 1400 feet with a temperature
near 25 degrees Celsius.

High confidence in the current forecast for flight categories.
Moderate confidence in timing of the winds and wind impacts. VFR
conditions are expected through the period. There is a moderate to
high chance of moderate to occasionally strong low-level wind
shear and turbulence through 20Z at terminals south of Point
Conception.

KLAX...VFR conditions are expected through the period. Any
easterly winds should remain less than 7 knots.

KBUR...VFR conditions are expected through the period. There is a
30 percent chance of moderate to occasionally strong low-level
wind shear and turbulence through 16Z.

&&

.MARINE...14/113 PM.

Moderate risk of NE to E wind gusts of 20 to 30 knots from
Ventura through Santa Monica tonight through Thursday morning,
then again late Thursday through Friday and possibly into Saturday
morning. These winds may fill more of the Santa Barbara Channel
than usual and further out through the west Channel Islands
through Thursday afternoon, but the southern Santa Barbara Coast
will remain fairly calm. There is a clear enough lull in winds
Thursday afternoon through late night to end the Small Craft
Advisory (SCA), but another SCA is possible late Thursday into
Friday afternoon.

NE wind gusts of at least 10 to 15 knots are also likely off the
SLO County Coast and in the San Pedro Channel (including Catalina
Island), with a low but non-zero risk of reaching 25 knots.
Expect short-period choppy seas with these winds.

A long period west to northwest swell will fill in over the region
through Thursday, but wave heights will stay under 8 feet through
the weekend and into next week.
