Synopsis
High pressure aloft should promote deep layered, off-shore through the middle of next week. Wind speeds in Santa Ana wind prone areas (mostly higher elevations) are forecast to peak late tonight through early tomorrow (peak wind gusts in the higher mountains may briefly reach 60 mph…mostly under 30 mph in the lowlands prone to Santa Ana winds). At UCLA, one wind gust reached 17 mph around 6 AM today. Forecasting wind speeds (accurately) squirting through canyons/passes is a challenge, but the predicted wind direction aloft from the northeast usually doesn’t result in wind gusts reaching at least 20 mph at UCLA. Still, there will probably be noticeable breezes on campus later tonight into early Saturday morning.
For most areas west of the mountains, the warm weather will be the noticeable aspect of the off-shore flow. Peak temperatures should occur on Sunday. Slightly weaker high pressure aloft should allow for earlier ocean breezes on Monday-Tuesday, but it should be a modest cooling trend (temperatures staying warmer than normal). Most models show high pressure aloft rebounding briefly on Wednesday next week. That may permit a little warming that day (compared with what occurs Tuesday).
Most of the longer range models predict multiple, upper level troughs passing through the state late next week through early the following week (late 12th through the 17th). Chances for widespread, wet weather in southern California on the 13-14th are looking less likely than some model solutions had shown earlier. Still, some showers could fall in parts of the Southland toward the end of next week. Chances for widespread wet weather remain good for a storm sometime in the 16th-17th period (potential for at least half inch rains in the lowlands away from the mountains…snow levels down to at least 6000 feet). Of course, the model consensus could shift to a drier scenario as the event nears.
If the latest model consensus is right (???), a return to sunny, warmer than normal weather may follow after the 17th. Dry weather in southern California may last a week or more. Since looking this far into the future is infrequently a matter of speculation (possible solutions vary from very wet and cold to sunny, very warm weather). So, I should end the discussion for now.
Next issued forecast/synopsis should be on Monday, 9 November.
