Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
322 AM PDT Mon Jun 23 2025

.SYNOPSIS...23/300 AM.

Temperatures are expected turn cooler today and Tuesday then warm
up again mid to late week as high pressure returns. Night
through morning low clouds and fog are expected for many coastal
areas this week, but decreasing across the valleys. Otherwise
clear skies with mostly light winds are expected.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TDY-WED)...23/315 AM.

Overall a pretty quiet week of weather. Sundowner and I5 winds
have mostly come to an end for now and at least through the week.
Temperatures warmed briefly yesterday but a trough digging south
through interior California will bring a return to onshore flow
today and Tuesday that will cool temperatures at least a few
degrees, with highs in most areas 4-8 degrees below normal.

As the trough weakens and moves east Wednesday temperatures will
warm several degrees with highs back to near to slightly above
normal for the latter half of the week.

.LONG TERM (THU-SUN)...23/321 AM.

Very little change in the weather pattern is expected through the
latter half of the week. Very minimal day to day temperatures
changes are expected with highs in the 80s to lower 90s in the
valleys and mostly 70s closer to the coast. With high pressure
aloft the marine layer should be confined to coastal areas and
possibly portions of the San Gabriel and Santa Ynez Valleys.

Slight cooling is possible over the weekend as some model
solutions indicate a weak trough will return to the West Coast.
