SUMMARY OF FWF DISCUSSIONS

Discussion from LAXFWFSGX


UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE INLAND ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...WITH COOLER CONDITIONS AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER
HUMIDITY VALUES POSSIBLE TODAY AND THURSDAY WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS.
GUSTY WEST WINDS WILL ALSO DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS
THESE DAYS. AS THIS TROUGH SHIFTS EAST ON FRIDAY...ANOTHER TROUGH
WILL REPLACE IT ALONG THE WEST COAST. THEREFORE...EXPECT NEAR TO
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH LOW CLOUDS POSSIBLE EACH NIGHT ALONG THE
COAST AND GUSTY WEST WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS EACH
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.



Discussion from LAXFWFLOX

A PERSISTENT BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DOMINATE
THE LOCAL WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE WEEK. MARINE LAYER CLOUDS AND
STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP MILD CONDITIONS ACROSS COASTAL AND
VALLEY AREAS. FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS...THERE WILL BE GUSTY
ONSHORE WINDS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG WITH CONTINUED
WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE FOCUSED
ACROSS THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MOUNTAINS (ESPECIALLY HIGHWAY 14 CORRIDOR) AND
THE ANTELOPE VALLEY. WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH WILL BE COMMON
ACROSS THESE AREAS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH
ISOLATED GUSTS AS HIGH AS 50 MPH NEAR LAKE PALMDALE. HUMIDITIES WILL BE
FALLING INTO THE TEENS EACH DAY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS WITH SINGLE DIGIT
READINGS IN THE ANTELOPE VALLEY. AS A RESULT...THERE WILL BE BRIEF CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EACH AFTERNOON ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND
ANTELOPE VALLEY THROUGH THURSDAY.

ON THURSDAY NIGHT...THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
AND REMAIN GUSTY IN THE MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. MEANWHILE...HUMIDITIES
WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE TEENS ACROSS THESE AREAS...CONTINUING THE
THREAT OF BRIEF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. BY FRIDAY MORNING...THE
LOW LEVEL FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BRIEFLY TURN OFFSHORE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
AND ANTELOPE VALLEY. WHILE WIND SPEEDS WILL BE LESS DURING THIS
TIME...HUMIDITIES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS
THE MOUNTAINS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY. ONSHORE FLOW WILL MAINTAIN MILD
TEMPERATURE READINGS OVER THE WEEKEND.



Discussion from SFOFWFHNX

A DRY SOUTHWEST TO WEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE
OVER THE DISTRICT THROUGH AT LEAST THE EARLY PORTION OF NEXT WEEK
AS AN UPPER TROUGH RESIDES OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST. AN
ONSHORE SURFACE FLOW WILL BRING OCCASIONAL REINFORCEMENTS OF
MARINE AIR INTO THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND LOWER FOOTHILLS THROUGH
FRIDAY WITH EPISODES OF GUSTY WINDS THROUGH AND BELOW THE PASSES
ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND IN THE KERN
COUNTY MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN CLOSE TO
NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.


Discussion from RNOFWFVEF

.A DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TODAY
AND AGAIN ON THURSDAY ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...THOUGH READINGS WILL DROP SEVERAL DEGREES THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY BEFORE REBOUNDING SLIGHTLY OVER THE WEEKEND.


Discussion from PHXFWFPSR


UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY...
AND MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.
OVERNIGHT RECOVERY WILL BE GOOD. AFTERNOON SOUTHWEST BREEZES WILL
ALSO BECOME ENHANCED A BIT AS A LARGE PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE WESTERN STATES NORTH OF ARIZONA.
