| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 159pm PDT Wednesday May 8 2024 Synopsis 08/130 PM. A quiet weather pattern is expected through early next week with near normal temperatures and no rain. Increasing night and morning low clouds are expected across coast and valleys as onshore flow increases. Mostly minor day to day changes in temperatures are expected through Sunday, with some cooling possible Monday and Tuesday. Short Term - Today through Saturday 08/149 PM. A very quiet weather pattern for the next week as the storm track stays well north and east of the area. Offshore flow today ended up being weaker than anticipated and Santa Ana winds have been on the lighter side. May see a little pick up in northeast winds across the mountains and interior valleys later tonight into Thursday but all winds should be well below advisory levels. Closer to the coast, a coastal eddy circulation will push clouds a little farther north tonight, likely reaching the Ventura and SB Coast overnight. Clouds also expected to push into the coastal valleys as well. Should stay clear north of Pt Conception tonight but falling surface pressures to the north later Thursday and Friday should bring the marine layer back to the Central Coast by Friday and lingering through the weekend and beyond. Just minor day to day changes in temperatures for coast and valleys the next few days. Farther inland a general warming trend is expected as a weak upper low that has persisted over the Great Basin finally shifts east. Long Term - Sunday through Wednesday 08/157 PM. Not too much impactful weather conditions going into next week. Onshore flow to the east is expected to increase steadily through next week, eventually reaching 9+mb by mid week, which would result in increasingly gusty west to southwest winds across the mountains and interior. A weak upper low is expected to slide into the area around that same time which, in combination with the increasing onshore flow, would provide a favorable pattern for a solid marine layer for coast and valleys during the nigheights and morning and slower daytime clearing and slightly cooler temperatures. Marine 08/955 AM. There is a 60-90 percent chance of Small Craft Advisory (SCA) conditions through at least this evening for the waters northwest through southwest of the Channel Islands and along the Central Coast. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions may linger longer into tonight across the outer waters. Then, winds and seas will drop below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels through at least Saturday. There is a moderate chance of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds developing late Saturday through Sunday, increasing to a high chance of Sunday afternoon and night.

Beach Hazards Statement in effect until midnight PDT tonight for zone 354. (See LAXCFWLOX). PZ...Small Craft Advisory in effect until 9pm PDT this evening for zone 645.
