Area Forecast Discussion
...UPDATED National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
210pm PST Sat Jan 10 2026

Synopsis
10/110 PM.

Gusty Santa Ana winds will continue through at least the weekend, mainly across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. There will be a warming trend into next week with near record temperatures possible.

Short Term - Today through Tuesday
...10/135 PM.

Santa Ana winds continue across portions of LA/Ventura Counties as most of the state is in the throws of a lengthy period of dry weather. Thankfully the recent rains are mitigating any fire weather concerns. Advisory and warning level winds are expected at least through Sunday with ample upper support and offshore gradients around 8mb. Going into next week offshore flow will continue but upper support will drop off as high pressure moves over the West coast. This will result in weakening winds but still some lingering offshore breezes, mainly overnight and morning hours in the areas that favor northeast winds.

The only significant change in the forecast was to increase high temperatures above the NBM starting on Monday as the high moves in and offshore gradients are still in the 3-6mb range. Local temperature guidance suggests highs at least into the mid 80s by Tuesday in the valleys and possibly low to mid 80s across some coastal areas as well. Chilly overnight lows are still expected in areas that are sheltered from the winds, though those will be rising as well.

Long Term - Wednesday through Saturday
10/144 PM.

Warm weather and clear skies are expected to continue all of next week but peaking Wednesday and Thursday with some record highs possible depending on the day. Records for coast and valleys generally range from the mid 80s to low 90s during this period. In any case, highs will be around 10-15 degrees above normal most of the week with light to moderate offshore flow. Not expecting much wind due to an absence of upper level support but areas favored for northeast winds will likely have some overnight and morning breezes.

Marine
10/158 PM.

Gusty northeast winds will create steep and hazardous seas and will persist each day through at least Tuesday. Winds will be the strongest winds in the morning hours, particularly tonight through Sunday morning. These winds will be focused from Ventura through Orange County excluding the Santa Monica Bay down to Palos Verdes hills. The winds will be strongest from Point Mugu thru Malibu, but will also impact the Channel & Catalina Islands. In addition, these winds will affect the waters from Santa Cruz Island to San Nicolas Island through at least Sunday possibly into next week.

There will be difficult-to-forecast variations in the winds and seas, especially in the afternoon and evening hours, but expect hazardous conditions at some point each day. These winds should weaken some Monday through Thursday, but could remain gusty.
