SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NWS LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
AFDLOX 843 AM TUE APR 24 2001
UPR RIDGE OVERHEAD AND MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW SPELLS TEMPERATURES
NEARING RECORD LEVELS TODAY. EASTERLY WINDS A BIT GUSTY IN THE
FAVORED LOCATIONS IN MTNS...BELOW CANYONS/PASSES ETC.
PROFILER/ACARS AND MESOETA ALL SHOW LOW LEVEL TEMP PROFILE QUITE A
BIT WARMER THAN YESTERDAY. INLAND VALLEYS SHOULD EASILY REACH THE
UPPER 80S TO MID 90S. THE TRICKIEST PART OF THE FORECAST TODAY IS
JUDGING HOW LONG THE EASTERLY GRADIENT FLOW CAN HOLD OFF THE
DIURNAL SEABREEZE...AND SUBSEQUENT COOLING. TEMPS COULD JUMP INTO
THE LOW 80S COAST IF THE SEABREEZE DOESNT KICK IN SOON ENOUGH.
ALL IN ALL CURRENT ZONES DONT NEED MUCH CHANGE. WILL ADD NEAR
RECORD LEVEL WORDING TO THE TEMPS TODAY AND ADJUST A FEW ZONES UP A
CATEGORY OR SO.
SOME RECORD HIGHS THAT MAY BE IN JEOPARDY TODAY...
LAX...82
TORRANCE...84
PASADENA...92
SIMI VALLEY...90
LAX 000. MOYER.
.LAX...NONE.
