883 FXUS66 KLOX 101100 AFDLOX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 400 AM PDT Thu Jul 10 2025 .SYNOPSIS...10/311 AM. There will be above normal temperatures today. A cooling trend will develop Friday and continue through the weekend. Night through morning low clouds and fog will increase in coverage over the weekend. && .SHORT TERM (TDY-SAT)...10/252 AM. The marine layer is under 1000 ft. There is offshore flow from the north and 3 mb of onshore flow to the east. Marine layer stratus covers the Central Coast but is largely absent from areas south of Pt Conception. Ample sunshine, limited marine layer and 594 dam hgts (3 dam above normal) will bring 2 to 5 locally 7 degrees of warming to most areas. Max temps at the beaches will be in the 70s, coastal areas away from the beaches will be in the 80s and lower 90s while the vlys cook up to 90 to 103 degrees. Triple digit heat will dominate the lower mtn elevations and far interior. This max temps are 5 to 10 degrees above normal. Not quite hot enough for heat advisories, but still people working or playing outside should be mindful of the heat. One more round of advisory level Sundowner winds is expected to redevelop later this afternoon and last into the overnight hours. The onshore push to the east will be about 2 mb stronger on Friday while the offshore flow from the north will flip to about 2 mb onshore. This will bring more marine layer clouds to the coasts and portions of the lower vlys. The cool marine air will have a dramatic effect on the max temps which will drop by 5 to 10 degrees across all csts/vlys and most of the mtns. The Antelope Vly and Cuyama vlys will only see very limited cooling since they are so removed from the ocean. A 9 mb onshore push to the east will bring gusty west to southwest winds are expected for interior areas. The onshore push to the north will be even stronger on Saturday while the push to the east remains strong. There will be more marine layer stratus in the vlys and some west facing beaches may see only limited clearing. Another 3 to 6 degrees of cooling will result in below normal temps for most of the area. Max temps will end up in the upper 60s and 70s across the csts and 80s and lower 90s in the vlys. .LONG TERM (SUN-WED)...10/309 AM. A very static pattern develops for the xtnd period with high pressure and 590 dam hgts. Very strong (9-10 mb) onshore flow to the east will develop each afternoon. Every day will be very similar to each other with night through morning low clouds and patchy fog (isolated dense fog is possible). There will be good clearing for most areas, but some beaches will likely remain cloudy through the afternoon. The strong onshore flow will bring gusty likely advisory level winds some of the mtns and the western portions of the Antelope Vly and foothills. Below normal temps will continue for most of the area although the Antelope Vly with the downsloping westerly winds will remain 2 to 3 degrees above normal. Max temps will remain in the upper 60s and 70s across the csts and 80s and lower 90s in the vlys. The gusty winds across the mtns and interior along with fairly warm temperatures and fairly low humidities will bring an uptick in fire weather danger. The monsoon threat looks pretty non existent through Wednesday. Some mdls hint at an increase in moist easterly flow starting next Thursday or Friday. && .AVIATION...10/1053Z. At 08Z, there was an 800 foot marine layer at KLAX. The top of the inversion was near 1700 feet with a max temperature of 26 C. High confidence in VFR TAF for KPMD, KWJF, KBUR, and KVNY.

KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF. There is a 30% chance of OVC006 cigs and vsbys 1SM to 2SM from 12Z-16Z. High confidence in any east wind component remaining under 8 kts. KBUR...High confidence in VFR TAF. && .MARINE...10/1258 AM. Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level winds will continue across the outer waters south of Point Conception through early Friday morning. There is a low- to-moderate (20-30 percent) chance of Gale Force winds through Thursday evening from near Point Conception south to San Nicolas Island. SCA level winds are likely for the inner waters north of Point Sal and the Santa Barbara Channel this afternoon and evening.
