.SYNOPSIS...20/139 PM.

A cooling trend will continue through Saturday as low pressure
develops along the West Coast, along with increasing night
through morning low clouds and fog. Gusty northerly winds are
expected across southern Santa Barbara County, through the
Interstate 5 Corridor and for other interior areas for the next
several nights. A warming trend for inland areas is expected to
begin Sunday but below normal temperatures are expected to
continue into next week.

.SHORT TERM (TDY-MON)...20/140 PM.

A late season trough now pushing into California has put an end
to the heat from earlier in the week with unseasonably strong
northwest to north winds likely across the region through Saturday
with widespread advisory level (gusts 30 to 50 mph) likely across
the mountains and nearly all of Santa Barbara and Ventura
Counties. Warning level gusts up to 65 mph are likely late this
afternoon through tonight for southwest Santa Barbara County
(especially from Gaviota to Refugio) and Saturday afternoon into
the night for the interior mountains of Santa Barbara County (with
a 50 percent chance of reaching the hills above Montecito),
Ventura County, and mountains and Antelope Valley foothills of Los
Angeles County, focused near the I-5 corridor in the northwest
portion of the county. Isolated power outages, downed trees, and
an increased risk for large life threatening wildfires will be
possible with the strong and potentially damaging winds.
Widespread Wind Advisories and more focused High Wind Warnings are
in place for the areas with the highest confidence in wind
impacts. Much weaker winds are anticipated into Sunday for most
areas in Breezy northwest to onshore wind gusts of 20 to 40 mph.

The marine layer will likely hang onto low clouds and fog
especially for Los Angeles County through Saturday, likely rapidly
expanding in coverage Sunday into Monday behind the high wind
event. Patchy drizzle is possible in Los Angeles County tonight
into Saturday morning in particular and especially in the
foothills on the east end of the county. Below normal temperatures
are expected, especially Saturday with widespread highs only in
the 70s to near 80.

.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...20/140 PM.

Weak troughing will and near to below normal temperatures likely
remain in place through at least Tuesday with seasonably weak
onshore winds and a fairly deep marine layer with night to morning
low clouds and fog. A gradual warm up and retreat of the marine
layer and associated cooling impact may occur later in the week as
a ridge of high pressure attempts to build into the region.

.AVIATION...20/1822Z.

At 1753Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 2800 feet deep with an
inversion top at 4900 feet with a temperature of 21 Celsius.

Moderate confidence in flight category forecast and timing.

At KSBA, high chance of either LLWS 20-30 knots or north gusts
surfacing 20-30 knots Friday night.

Reduced vis from BLDU possible 21-06Z at KSMX KPMD KWJF. KWJF has
highest risk, with a low but present chance of LIFR/IFR.

There is a 30% chance of MVFR at KOXR, KCMA, KBUR, and KVNY after
09Z Sat, with a 30% chance of no cigs at KSMO, KLAX, and KLGB.

KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF. Timing of flight cat changes
could be off by +/- 3 hours, with a 30% chance of remaining VFR
through the period (after clearing this afternoon). Southeast
winds likely 12Z-18Z Sat, with a 20% chance of any east wind
component reaching 8 knots.

KBUR...Moderate confidence in TAF. Timing of flight cat changes
could be off by +/- 3 hours. High confidence in slightly stronger
than normal onshore winds in the afternoon. There is a 30% chance
of MVFR conds after 09Z Sat.

.MARINE...20/110 PM.

***HAZARDOUS SEAS THROUGH SATURDAY***

High confidence in prolonged and strong Gale Force northwest
winds beyond 20 miles from shore through Saturday night, strongest
this afternoon through Saturday evening. Moderate confidence in
gusts of 30 to 35 knots impacting the nearshore Central Coast
waters and western Santa Barbara Channel each afternoon and
evening during this stretch. All waters will see building and
hazardously steep short period seas. While winds will likely not
reach Small Craft Advisory (SCA) everywhere, a SCA is in effect
for all areas not in the Gale Warning due the combination of
widespread steep seas and the potential for widespread gusts.
Small craft should stay in safe harbor, especially in the
afternoon and evening hours.

High confidence in lowering winds and subsiding seas for the first
half of next week, with abnormally large high tides each evening.
SCA winds are still likely for the waters beyond 20 miles for
shore, which is typical for this time of the year.
