Synopsis

25/215 AM.

Dry and warm conditions will continue through the first half of this week. Cooler conditions will follow, with a growing potential for a storm system towards the end of the week and into next weekend.

Long Term (wed-sat)

25/216 AM.

For the extended, latest models continue to exhibit a rather broad synoptic agreement, but differ in the details. At upper levels, a low will develop over the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday/Thursday. On Friday and Saturday, the GFS continues to drop the low south along the coast while the ECMWF keeps over the Pacific Northwest (resulting in a sharp trough sweeping across the area).

Overall, either solution indicates a wet and unsettled Halloween weekend for Southern California. At this time, there is high confidence in measurable rainfall for most, if not all, of the area Friday through the weekend. However, confidence in timing of rainfall and totals remain very low. The latest 12Z/18Z runs have backed off on totals just a bit with even the run total QPF on the ensembles decreasing. Previous estimates of totals from 0.50 to 2.00 inches are still in play, but totals, in the end, could be more or less than that range.

The uncertainty in this pattern will be a challenge over the coming days. So, the forecast will likely change from one day to the next. However, residents should expect Halloween activities to be impacted by rainfall to some level. Stay tuned for the latest details about this upcoming storm.

Aviation

25/0917Z.

At 09Z over KLAX, there was no marine layer and no inversion.

High confidence in VFR conditions at all TAF sites through at least Sunday, except a 20% chance of LIFR FG near KSMX 12-16Z. Chances for LIFR/IFR ceilings Monday 10-16Z at KPRB 30%, KSBP 20%, KSMX 40%, KLAX 20%, KLGB 20%.

KLAX...High confidence in VFR conditions, except for a 20% of LIFR/IFR conditions Monday 12-16Z. High confidence in any east winds staying under 08 knots.

KBUR...High confidence in VFR conditions through at least Monday with typical winds.

Marine

25/214 AM.

High confidence in fairly benign conditions through early Monday. Small Craft Advisory (SCA) winds likely to form over most waters Monday afternoon, including the nearshore waters. SCA winds will retreat to the typical outer waters for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Dense fog is likely to form over portions of the coastal waters over the next 48 hours, but low confidence on exactly when and where.

A significant storm system will impact the area sometime in the late Thursday through early next week timeframe. There is a wide range of outcomes, but there is at least a low threat of a 12-24 hour period of strong winds and step seas.
