Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 430am PST Wednesday Feb 19 2025 Synopsis 19/343 AM. Dry weather and warming temperatures are expected this week, with highs well above normal Friday through Monday. Skies will be mostly sunny, expect for periods of low clouds and fog near the coast and some high clouds. Areas of gusty northerly and northeasterly winds are expected tonight through Friday. Short Term - Today through Friday 19/323 AM. Mostly sunny skies are expected today through Friday, except for some scattered high clouds that are currently streaming across the region. There is also a chance of marine layer low clouds and fog for the LA Basin this morning and again Thursday morning. An inside slider trough passing to the northeast of the region will bring periods of moderate offshore winds this afternoon through Friday. Tonight through Thursday morning, gusts 40 to 50 mph out of the north- to- northeast will be common across the mountains. Gusts 30 to 40 mph are expected for the wind prone valleys of Los Angeles and Ventura County (including the Santa Clarita Valley, western San Fernando Valley and Agoura Hills/Calabasas). Wind Advisories have been issued starting this afternoon/evening, please see NPWLOX for more details. Thursday night into Friday morning, a moderate Santa Ana northeast wind event is expected. Winds will be focused over the wind prone corridor in LA/Ventura Counties and the Santa Lucia Mountains in San Luis Obispo County. The offshore winds will result in a general warming temperature trend through Friday, especially for coasts and valleys. Daytime highs today and Thursday will mostly be in the upper 60s to mid 70s, followed by a greater bump for Friday. Expect highs in the mid 70s to low 80s to be common, especially for LA/Ventura Counties. Long Term - Saturday through Tuesday 19/341 AM. This weekend into early next week, a ridge of high pressure is likely to build over the region. This will yield continued warm temperatures, peaking on Sunday or Monday, when highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s are expected to be widespread. This weekend, the flow pattern at surface will be dominated by weak offshore flow that is likely to keep most clouds at bay. Then early next week, there is the potential for gusty north to northwesterly winds. Gusty conditions are most favored for southwest Santa Barbara County and interior mountain areas. Additionally, increasing onshore flow may facilitate the return of morning marine layer clouds and fog at the coasts, which may serve to moderate temperatures along the immediate coastline. Still no indication of any significant rain through the end of the month. Marine 19/419 AM. In the outer waters, NW winds are expected to increase to Small Craft Advisory (SCA) levels this morning, then SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds and seas will continue thru at least Thu evening, with a 30% chance that winds will continue into Fri. There is a 40% chance of Gale force winds from near Pt. Conception S to San Nicolas Island tonight. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conds are not expected Fri night thru Sunday night. In the inner waters N of Pt. Sal, there is a 40% chance of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level NW winds during the afternoon and evening hours today and Thu. Otherwise, SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conds are not expected thru Sunday night. Across the inner waters S of Pt Conception, SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level W-NW winds are expected (80% chance) across western portions of the Santa Barbara Channel late this afternoon thru late tonight. There is a 40% chance of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level N-NE winds from Pt. Mugu to Santa Monica late tonight/Thu morning. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level NE winds are likely (60% chance) from Ventura to Malibu very late Thu night/Fri morning, with a 20% chance from the Orange County coast to Catalina Island.
