| Area Forecast Discussion ...UPDATED National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 1031am PST Sunday Feb 8 2026 Synopsis 08/256 AM. The warming trend will continue today, then a weak storm system will move into the region and bring cooler temperatures and a chance of precipitation between Tuesday and Wednesday night. A warming trend is possible for late next week, then a cool, wet, and unsettled weather pattern will likely set up from the 15th to the 21st. Short Term - Today through Tuesday ...08/923 AM. ***UPDATE*** The forecast is well on-track, and no changes have been made to the ongoing forecast. ***From Previous Discussion*** Chamber of Commerce day on tap for today with a ridge nosing in from the west bringing 580 dam hgts and 2 to 4 mb of offshore flow at the sfc. Look for sunny skies light offshore winds and max temps rising to the mid 70s to lower 80s across the csts/vlys. These max temps are 10 to 15 degrees over normal. Offshore flow continues on Monday, esp from the north. There is a 30 percent chance that there will be a need for a wind advisory through the I-5 corridor in the morning. The ridge overhead flattens out as it pushed down by fast moving trough moving through the north of the state. The upper flow will turn almost due w to e and will bring in mostly cloudy skies to SLO and the northern portion of SBA counties. Since the hgts do not fall that much and the offshore flow remains, went above the official forecast and only cooled temps a few degrees across the VTA/LA csts vlys. An upper low will approach the Bay Area on Tuesday and the flow over Srn CA will turn to the SW. The offshore flow will switch to onshore and mid and high level clouds will overspread the area making it a cloudy day. The official forecast based on all of the ensemble members bring a chance of rain to the Central Coast in the morning and then spreads that chance down through SBA county and VTA mtns in the afternoon. Looking at the hier rez models it looks like this forecast might be 6 to 8 hours too fast. Will get a better grip on rain timing when the hier rex models get an extra 12 to 18 hours to analyze this system. Rainfall amounts, if they do occur, will be on the light side. The clouds, onshore flow and lower hgts will all combine to lower max temps 5 to 10 degrees over SLO/SBA counties and 10 to 15 degrees over LA/VTA counties. Max temps will mostly be in the 60s across the lower elevations. A better (50 to 60 percent chc) of rain will occur across all o the area Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Rainfall amounts for the csts/vlys/cstl slopes during this time could range from a quarter inch north of Pt Conception to a tenth or two south of Pt Conception. Long Term - Wednesday through Saturday 08/254 AM. On Wednesday the system (either a trough or weak upper low) will move to the SE and over Srn CA. It will bring clouds and a chance of rain through the day. This system does not have that much moisture to work with and rainfall totals are forecast to be under a quarter inch. Max temps will not change much from Tuesday and will remain in the 60s for most of the area. Not the best mdl agreement on the Thursday forecast with a number of ensemble members keeping an upper low and rain in the area while many others shower a dry ridge. The ensemble based forecast mixes all of this together and come out with a partly to mostly cloudy day with a slight chance of showers and a warming trend. Its likely that all of these things will not occur together and will wait for a little better agreement to see if the day will be mostly sunny and warmer or cloudier with some rain and little change in temps. There is better agreement that Friday will feature a weak ridge with mostly clear skies and about 3 degrees of warming which will bring most max temps up into the upper 60s or lower 70s. Starting Saturday and persisting well into the week of the 15th as the storm window opens and series of storms will likely roll through the area. Rain will be possible on any of the days from Saturday the 14th through Friday the 20th. Several of these systems could bring significant rainfall. It will take at least several more days to pin down the exact timing of these systems so stay tuned. It is likely that some of these will be coldest storms of the season so far with snow levels down to 4000 or even lower with plenty of snow. Marine 08/724 AM. Moderate to high confidence in the current forecast. Less confidence exists in the swell forecast. Higher confidence exists in the wind forecast. For the waters southwest through northwest of the Channel Islands, SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions are likely (60-80 percent chance) through much of the week. There are a few periods where the swell and wind may drop off, but winds and seas will likely remain near hazardous levels to small craft. Local GALE force gusts will likely develop from late this afternoon through Monday morning, but there areal extent will not be large enough to warrant a Gale Warning being issued. There is a moderate to high (40-50 percent) chance that GALES could become more widespread, especially this evening. Inside the southern California bight and for the nearshore waters along the Central Coast, there is a 40-60 percent chance of SCA conditions this afternoon and tonight, highest for the nearshore waters along the Central Coast and into the western fringes of the southern California bight. There is a lesser (30-50 percent) chance of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds on Monday, but chances will rise again to a 40-60 percent chance on Tuesday evening, and increasing further for Wednesday and Thursday to a 50-70 percent chance, highest for the nearshore waters along the Central Coast. Marine conditions may be poor for the upcoming weekend with rain, widespread hazardous seas, and gusty winds. Though outside of the forecast period, there is a moderate chance of GALES early next week. Beaches 08/724 AM. Remnant swell energy will continue to bring marginal high surf to Southland beaches this morning. Elevated surf will likely continue this week. There is a moderate (30-40 percent) chance that a high surf advisory could be reissued for west and northwest shores between Tuesday night and Wednesday night with a storm system dropping into the region. A much colder and strong storm is expected over next weekend with a higher potential high surf. NOAA Los Angeles/Oxnard CA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories CA...High Surf Advisory in effect until noon PST today for zones 354-362-366. (See LAXCFWLOX). PZ...Small Craft Advisory in effect until 6pm PST Monday for zone 645. Small Craft Advisory in effect until 3am PST Tuesday for zones 670-673-676. https://www.weather.gov/erh/ghwo?wfo=lox |
