SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
230 AM PST SAT DEC 27 2003

.SHORT TERM...
GOOD NORTHWEST FLOW IS CREATING FEW NORTH WINDS BELOW PASSES AND
CANYONS. THIS IS THWARTING THE FROST ADVISORY SOMEWHAT BUT THERE A FEW
PLACES WITH LIGHT WINDS AND LOW DEW POINTS SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME AREAS
TO REACH NEAR 30.

TODAY WILL BE SUNNY BUT TEMPS WILL NOT RISE TOO MUCH AS AIRMASS IS
QUITE COOL.

A SMALL RIDGE WILL KEEP THINGS NICE THROUGH SUNDAY. THEN SUNDAY NIGHT
CLOUDS FROM THE NEXT SYSTEM START TO APPROACHS. SPEAKING OF THE NEXT
SYSTEM MDLS HAVE FLIPPED FLOPPED TONIGHT AND HAVE SLOWED IT DOWN AND
MOVED IT NORTH AND HAVE STALLED IT OUT. IF THE MDLS ARE RIGHT THEN THE
POPS IN THE SUN NIGHT PERIOD SHOULD NOT BE THERE BUT I NEED A LITTLE
MORE RUN TO RUN CONSITANCY BEFORE I YANK THEM. MONDAY LOOKS PRETTY DRY
ACCORDING TO THE NEW MDLS LEFT THE LIKELY POPS IN BUT CHANGED WORDING
TO SAY BECOMING LIKELY TO BUY A LITTLE TIME. GOOD WARM AIR ADVECTION
WILL JACK THE SNOW LEVEL UP.
