| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 211pm PST Tuesday Feb 3 2026 Synopsis 03/115 PM. Warmer temperatures with locally gusty Santa Ana winds continue through Thursday. The winds and temperatures will peak Wednesday. Cooler temperatures are expected Friday and over the weekend but highs will still be at least 4-8 degrees above normal. There will be a chance of rain by next Tuesday. Short Term - Today through Friday 03/146 PM. Offshore flow is starting to take over again with widespread 80s in the valleys and near the coast/valley interface, though temperatures are still in the 60s near the beaches with patchy dense fog over the Santa Monica Bay. Wednesday is still expected to be the peak of this mini heat wave though it will only be slightly cooler on Thursday as gradients start to trend onshore. Hi res models are still indicating increasing Santa Ana winds tonight into Wednesday as offshore flow increases to around 6.5mb. At least low end advisory level winds are expected Wednesday morning into early afternoon across the usual favored areas including the LA Mountains and through the Hwy 14/126/118 corridors all the way to the Ventura County beaches and several miles offshore. Temperatures are expected to easily reach the 80s in most coast/valley areas and as high as the mid to high 80s which would 15-22 degrees above normal and near record breaking. Another very warm day expected Thursday, but with weakening offshore gradients temperatures should be 2-4 degrees cooler in most areas. The exception being the far interior areas on the inland side of the coastal mountains where temperatures will warm slightly. Additional cooling of 3-6 degrees is expected Friday as ridging shifts east and is replaced by a weak upper low. Overall, highs will be still be 3-6 degrees above normal. Long Term - Saturday through Tuesday 03/210 PM. Ensemble solutions continue to favor dry conditions this weekend into at least Monday as a positively tilted ridge replaces the weak trough over California. Gradients are expected to trend slightly offshore Saturday and Sunday and this combined with the ridging over the state should lead to at least a few degrees of warming in most areas, though highs generally topping out in the 70s. However, this feature too will rather quickly be replaced by a stronger upper level trough and low pressure system finally nudging out the month-long ridge along the West coast. This will bring a return to much cooler temperatures, mostly low to mid 60s that should continue through the week. Rain chances start as early as Monday night along the Central Coast as the first of a couple frontal systems come through California next week. However, rain chances are higher later Tuesday into Wednesday as a stronger upper low approaches. Ensembles are still just indicating light amounts of rain through the end of next week, mostly under a a half inch. Marine 03/123 PM. Offshore northeast winds will develop each morning near Morro Bay, generally below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels. There is a 40-50% chance for localized east wind gusts near SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels around the Channel Islands Wednesday morning into early afternoon. However, less confidence in winds Wednesday evening into Thursday afternoon as there is a 30% chance of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level SE winds north of the Channel Islands. Otherwise, another round of at least SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds and seas across the outer waters will be likely Friday into Saturday, and SCA (Small Craft Advisory) winds may linger into the following week. For the Inner Waters south of Point Conception, moderate confidence in current forecast. Tonight through Wednesday and potentially into Thursday morning, there is a 50-60% percent chance of east to northeast SCA (Small Craft Advisory) level winds from Ventura south to Santa Monica and out past Anacapa Island, as well as potentially through the San Pedro Channel (less confidence in this area though).Localized Gale Force wind gusts will be likely nearshore below mountain canyons and passes, with a 30-40% chance of extending north to Ventura and out to Anacapa Island late tonight through Wednesday morning. Otherwise, conds will remain below advisory levels until northwest winds potentially increase to SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels across the waters early next week, especially Tuesday.
