SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
230 PM SAT APR 21 2001

QUICKLY TRANSITIONING FROM A RAIN REGIEM TO A WINDY ONE. UPPER LOW
IS SPINNING OUT OF THE AREA THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE MUCH IN THE
WAY OF WRAP AROUND ENERGY ON SATELLITE AND HI RES ETA DOES NOT SHOW
MUCH IN THE WAY OF PVA. SO THINK SHOWER THREAT WILL RAPIDLY FADE
TODAY EXCEPT ON THE NORTH SLOPES WHERE NORTH WINDS WILL LIFT
MOISTURE UP THE MOUNTAINS.

WITH EAST WEST GRADIENTS AT 6 WITH A PLUS 1.5 TREND AND 30 TO 40 KT
OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT LOOK FOR A WINDY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
CURRENT WADS LOOK VERY GOOD AND WILL HAVE TO CONSIDER RAISING WADS
IN THE COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS. GRADIENTS RELAX BY TOMMOROW AND
UPPER SUPPORT SHIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST SO EXPECT MUCH LESS IN THE
WAY OF WINDS SUNDAY.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY LOOK GREAT WITH A RIDGE AND MORNING
OFFSHORE FLOW COMBINING TO PROUDUCE A NICE WA RM UP AND SUNNY DAYS
AND CLEAR NIGHTS.
