.SYNOPSIS...22/251 AM.

Gusty northerly winds will continue across southern Santa Barbara
County through early Monday. Otherwise, warmer temperatures are
expected today then turning cooler Monday and Tuesday with
increasing night and morning low clouds and fog.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TDY-TUE)...22/313 AM.

Winds continue to be the most impactful part of the forecast,
though the end is near. Gusts over 60 mph were reported at
Sandberg (I5 corridor region) overnight and several other areas in
that region were in the 50s. Had some isolated 40-50 mph winds in
southwest Santa Barbara County but models certainly were a little
overdone in that area. While winds are expected to drop off
quickly across the I5 region today and remain relatively light the
rest of the week, we`re still looking at one more night of gusty
winds in southern Santa Barbara County tonight with gusts to 35-45
mph.

Aside from the winds, the forecast is fairly dull. Several degrees
of warming are expected today across inland areas as onshore flow
is weakening rapidly. As of 3am the LAX-DAG gradient is almost 5mb
weaker than yesterday which is a significant drop over 24 hours.
There is a little stratus this morning over LA County but
basically clear elsewhere and expecting the low clouds to clear
pretty quickly this morning, leading to 5-10 degrees of warming
inland over yesterday.

The warmup will be short lived as another low pressure system will
drop south through California and sit over the Central Valley
Monday and Tuesday. This will increase onshore flow again leading
to cooler temperatures and a return to night and morning low
clouds and fog, especially along the Central Coast.

.LONG TERM (WED-SAT)...22/316 AM.

Weak high pressure is expected to return Wednesday and remain
through the end of the week. As a result, temperatures will
increase back to near (or even slightly above) normals for this
time of year. Not expecting any strong winds during the period
except for the typical Antelope Valley breezes each afternoon.
Overall, very seasonable weather next week that will likely carry
into the following week.

&&

.AVIATION...22/1132Z.

At 10Z at KLAX, the was no defined marine layer, but a moist
layer up to 5000 feet.

The gusty northwest winds will continue to quickly weaken and
should not be much of an issue by 13Z.

High confidence in minimal ceilings through Sunday, with only
chances at KSMX (20%) KOXR (20%) KCMA (20%) KSMO (40%) KLAX (50%)
KLGB (70%) KBUR (50%) KVNY (40%). Clouds will be patchy in nature.
Low confidence on timing.

KLAX...MVFR ceilings will be patchy in nature, with a 50% chance
of additional BKN020-025 forming for a random hour or two through
17Z. SE winds will continue, but the chance of exceed 8 knots has
lowered to 10%.

KBUR...MVFR ceilings will be patchy in nature, with a 50% chance
of BKN015-025 forming for a random hour or two through 16Z.

&&

.MARINE...22/809 AM.

Winds are weakening quicker than expected, so lowered all the
hazards one category. The waters beyond 20 miles from shore will
remain in Small Craft Advisory (SCA) through at least early Monday
morning. Local Gale force gusts to 35 kt this evening cannot be
ruled out across the Outer Waters. Moderate chances of low-end
SCA winds Tuesday afternoon and evening. Winds will likely
increase by 5-10 knots Wednesday and Thursday.

While low confidence based on the recent poor performance of our
best computer projections, SCA are possible this afternoon and
evening for the nearshore waters of the Central Coast and the
Santa Barbara Channel (western half has highest chances).
Otherwise, fairly seasonal conditions are likely for the rest of
the week.

The currently widespread steep seas will slowly subside through
Tuesday.
