SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
230 AM PDT WED APR 10 2002

ZONAL FLOW SETTING UP ACROSS THE DISTRICT. MODELS SHOW A FEW EMBEDDED
RIPPLES IN THE FLOW BUT SATELLITE INDICATES THAT THE ETA HAS OVER DONE
IT A LITTLE WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE SHORTWAVES SO WILL USE AVN AND
WILL REMOVE SLO COUNTY POPS.

ZONAL FLOW WILL LAST FOR NEXT TWO DAYS. HGTS WILL EDGE UP EACH DAY
WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR WARMING AND A SLIGHT SQUASHING OF THE MARINE
LAYER. NORTH SOUTH GRADIENTS INCREASE OFFSHORE WHICH SHOULD LIMIT THE
PENETRATION OF THE MARINE LAYER. STG NW AFTERNOON GRADINETS IN THE
CENTRAL COAST WILL ALLOW FOR MODERATE SUNDOWNERS TONGIHT AND THURSDAY.
SOME COASTAL FOG WILL PERSIST BUT ONLY TO VENTURA COUNTY AS SUNDOWNER
WINDS WILL KEEP SBA S COAST CLEAR.

FRIDAY A TROF COMES IN AND WILL LIFT THE MARINE LAYER AND WILL TURN
THE N/S GRADS ONSHORE THIS WILL CLOUD THINGS UP AND COOL THINGS DOWN
EVERYWHERE.

GOOD HGT RISES FOLLOW FOR THE WEEKEND WITH A STG W/E GRADIENT SO IT
WILL BE BREEZY IN THE DESERTS AND WILL ENHANCE SEA BREEZE AND HINDER
COASTAL BURN OFF. STILL ALL AREAS SHOULD WARM UP INLAND MORE.

ALL MEDIUM MDLS BRING IN SOME SORT OF TROF SUN-TUE WITH UK BEING THE
SHARPEST AND EC THE WEAKEST. THIS WILL GIN UP THE MARINE LAYER AND
COOL THINGS OFF EVERYWHERE BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THAT IS CURRENTLY IN
THE ZONES SO WILL WARM DAY 6 AND 7 UP A SKOSH.
