| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 229pm PDT Fri Oct 24 2025 Synopsis 24/204 PM. Temperatures will lower a little over the weekend, then warm again Monday through the end of next week. Gusty northwest to northeast winds will form over the weekend, peaking on Sunday, and persist through much of next week. No significant rain chances in the foreseeable future. Short Term - Today through Monday ...24/219 PM. Low clouds and fog will likely be more expansive tonight into Saturday than the previous 24 hours thanks to an expected trend up in onshore pressure gradients and a lull in the Sundowner winds. Dense fog will be an issue again for the Central Coast. The airmass will cool slightly over the weekend as the peekaboo upper level ridge currently over the area moves to the east. Highs in the 70 to 80 range will be most common, warmest over the valleys and lower mountains. Heigheights start to rebound on Monday after a dry front passes through, which will combine with breezy north to northeast winds to push coastal and valley temperatures up into the 75 to 85 degree range. As far as the winds are concerned, some northwest to northeast gusts in the 20 to 30 mph range are expected tonight into Saturday in the typical areas, which is a step down from the past two days. The aforementioned dry front and associated jet aloft (70 knots at 300 millibars) will combine with tightening surface pressure gradients (LAX-BFL and SBA-BFL peaking at -4.0 to -5.0 millibars Monday 12Z) will fuel a healthy northwest to northeast wind event. Winds will start to pick on Saturday, peak on Sunday, then weaken some on Monday (another less certain increase expected to follow by Tuesday). Wind Advisories are unlikely on Saturday, but likely on Sunday (gusts 40 to 50 mph) for the wind prone areas like southern Santa Barbara County, the I-5 Corridor, and possibly the Antelope Valley. Wind this strong can down a couple of trees and powerlines as well and push around some high profile vehicles and unsecured objects. North sub-advisory wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph will also impact most other mountains, including the Santa Susana and Santa Monica Mountains. These winds will impact the low clouds and fog, and could clear them all out by Monday or Tuesday. Long Term - Tuesday through Friday 24/227 PM. Models continue to circle around two wind scenarios for Tuesday through Thursday: a north wind dominant regime or a northeast dominant one. About 30% of the ensemble solutions hint at a moderate Santa Ana Wind (NE) event during this time, with gusts in the 30 to 50 mph range. 30% favor a north wind event of the same magnitude. The rest are somewhere in-between. Which scenario wins will determine which areas will be most directly affected by the winds. With that said however, both scenarios will add a heat ingredient to the almost certain warmup driven by high pressure building aloft. Ensemble means show the 500 millibar heigheights just under 590 decameters, which when combined with the offshore flow, should push highs into the 83 to 93 range over most of the area. The hottest areas will be over the coastal sections if the Santa Ana scenario plays out. Friday should trend cooler and less windy, but by how much is still to be determined with a fairly healthy spread in the ensemble solutions. Marine 24/150 PM. For the Outer Waters, moderate to high confidence in current forecast. High confidence in Small Craft Advisory level winds for much of the time through Tuesday, and moderate chance (40%-50% chance of these conditions continuing Wednesday and Wednesday night and SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level seas through Monday and again Wednesday. For the Inner Waters north of Point Sal, moderate to high confidence in current forecast. For this afternoon and evening, there is a 60-80% chance of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds. For Sunday through Tuesday, there is a 40-60% chance of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds in the afternoon and evening hours. There is a 40% chance of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level seas through Sunday night. For the Inner Waters south of Point Conception, moderate to high confidence in current forecast. For the western half of the Santa Barbara Channel, there is a 50-60% chance of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds Saturday through Monday, mainly during the late afternoon and evening hours. Elsewhere across the southern Inner Waters, high confidence in winds and seas remaining below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels through Wednesday night. NOAA Los Angeles/Oxnard CA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories CA...High Surf Advisory in effect until 3am PDT Monday for zones 340-346. (See LAXCFWLOX). PZ...Small Craft Advisory in effect until 9pm PDT this evening for zone 645. Small Craft Advisory in effect until 3pm PDT Saturday for zones 670-673-676. |
