| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 1209pm PDT Sat Oct 4 2025 Synopsis 04/1028 AM. Cooler than normal conditions will continue into next week as a low pressure system remains over the west. Breezy winds are expected in some areas today. A warming trend is possible for late next week. Short Term - Today through Tuesday ...04/1209 PM. Very quiet weather pattern the next several days as a weak upper level trough develops along the West coast. Still expecting some gusty west to northwest winds across southern Santa Barbara County and across the coastal waters through tonight but models indicate much lighter winds Sunday through Tuesday. After today's expected warm up, temperature trends are expected to be pretty flat or slightly cooler through Tuesday as there's very little change in the upper level pattern and onshore flow remains on the lighter side but slowly increasing each day. Do expect to see a more traditional marine layer returning by Sunday or Monday. Forecast soundings show a developing marine layer Sunday at around 1500 feet and deepening to 2000-2500 feet Monday and Tuesday. Assuming the marine layer does re-establish overnight lows near the coast south of Pt Conception will likely increase as SST's are in the mid to upper 60s. Opted to go a little above the NBM min temps in those areas. Long Term - Wednesday through Saturday 04/1209 PM. Very little change in the pattern is expected Wednesday with temperatures and sky conditions very similar to Tuesday. By Thursday and Friday, however, there are an increasing number of model solutions that favor a warming trend that could lead to valley and desert highs getting back up into the upper 80s to mid 90s. This is a result of the upper low finally moving east as high pressure begins to build north from the desert southwest. Friday and Saturday may be interesting as there are some model solutions indicating increasing moisture from the next tropical system moving off the coast of Mexico. It's a tricky pattern for sure as there is also a pretty significant upper level low dropping down the West coast at the same time. While there are still a wide range of outcomes, less than 10% of the solutions are indicating any rain chances locally, with most of the solutions either keeping the storm moving west over the Pacific or getting shoved east before it crosses into the US. Marine 04/1120 AM. High confidence in Small Craft Advisory (SCA) level winds across the outer waters and nearshore waters along the Central Coast through early Sunday morning, with lulls nearshore through early this afternoon. Seas will remain choppy and hazardous for small crafts through tonight. Thereafter, conditions are likely to remain below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria through mid-week. For the inner waters south of Point Conception, SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds & choppy seas are expected across the Santa Barbara Channel this afternoon and evening. Thereafter, conditions generally look to remain below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) criteria through mid-week. NOAA Los Angeles/Oxnard CA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories CA...NONE. PZ...Small Craft Advisory in effect until 9pm PDT this evening for zones 645-650. Small Craft Advisory in effect until 3am PDT Sunday for zone 670. Small Craft Advisory in effect until 9am PDT Sunday for zones 673-676. |
