.SYNOPSIS...23/919 AM.

Temperatures will fall each day through Saturday, with increasing
low clouds and fog. Sunday through mid next week, temperatures
will be slightly below normal for most areas and marine layer low
clouds and fog will continue.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TDY-MON)...23/1229 PM.

Overall a very low impact weather pattern the next several days.
Another upper low will be moving through the area tonight and
Saturday which will deepen the marine layer and delay the typical
morning clearing by a few hours on Saturday. This will in turn
result in cooler afternoon highs as well with most areas in the
mid 60s to mid 70s. This is about 5 degrees below normal. The
stratus has cleared most areas this afternoon but clouds will fill
in overnight with a later burnoff time Saturday. Some breezy
northwest winds expected across southwest Santa Barbara County
this evening.

A few degrees of warming is likely on Sunday, mainly inland as
the trough is replaced by a quick little pop up ridge. Onshore
flow remains quite strong though so cool air off the ocean will
keep areas closer to the coast on the cooler side.

Then Monday another weak upper low arrives which will bring cooler
temps and longer lasting marine layer to coast and valleys.
a

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...23/1238 PM.

For most of next week just very minor day to day changes in
temperatures with a steady dose of night and morning low clouds
and fog for coast and valleys. Overall very typical weather for
this time of year except highs a few degrees cooler than normal.

There remains the potential for a significant warming trend late
next week into early June, as some forecast models show a
moderately strong high pressure system building over the Arizona-
Nevada region. The presence of a slowly moving cut off low may
keep this a low confidence forecast well into next week.

For the Outer Waters, high confidence in Small Craft Advisory
(SCA) level winds through Memorial Day weekend. GALE force wind
gusts are possible to likely for NE portions of PZZ670, and across
the waters around and near Point Conception and Northern Channel
Islands (NCI) - this afternoon and evening. GALES may linger into
the late night hours around the NCI. In general, seas are expected
to remain below SCA criteria through mid-week - however, there
could be localized SCA level seas at times.

For the northern Inner Waters, SCA winds are expected to continue
into late tonight, with a 60% chance of GALE force gusts this
afternoon and evening. Over Memorial Day weekend, moderate
confidence in SCA winds each afternoon through evening. Seas are
expected to remain below SCA levels through mid-week.

For the Santa Barbara Channel, SCA winds will be more widespread
this afternoon through late tonight, reaching eastern portions of
the zone including the Ventura County coastline with a 10% chance
of GALE force wind gusts in the western portion of the Channel.
There is a moderate chance for SCA level winds across the western
portion of the Channel each afternoon and evening over the
remainder of Memorial Day Weekend - Also, there is a low chance
for eastern portions, with Sat and Mon having the best potential.
Seas are expected to remain below SCA level through Mid-week.

For the Inner Waters off the Los Angeles and Orange County coasts,
moderate confidence in conditions remaining below advisory levels
this weekend. However, there is a 20-40% chance for local gusts
up to 25 kt to occur each afternoon through evening today through
Monday near Malibu, through the San Pedro Channel, and in the far
western portion of the zone, with the highest chances today.
Seas are expected to remain below SCA level through Mid- week.
