802 FXUS66 KLOX 241000 AFDLOX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA 300 AM PDT Tue Jun 24 2025 .SYNOPSIS...24/300 AM. Another day of well below normal temperatures, then turning warmer Wednesday through Friday as weak high pressure returns. Night through morning low clouds and fog are expected for many coastal areas this week, but decreasing across the valleys. Otherwise clear skies with mostly light winds are expected. && .SHORT TERM (TDY-THU)...24/253 AM. Very low impact weather across southwest California the next few days and really through at least early next week as well. A trough of low pressure continues to linger over Central California and Nevada which will keep temperatures 4-8 degrees below normal area-wide today. Marine layer stratus has filled in most coast/valley areas early this morning but will pull back to the beaches by afternoon. The trough will exit to the east Wednesday which will begin a warming trend. Most of the warming will occur on Wednesday when inland areas jump almost 10 degrees from Tuesday`s levels. After that just very minor upward adjustments to highs Thu. Even with this warming trend highs will still only be within a couple degrees of normal in most areas, except around 5 degrees above normal across the Antelope Valley and far interior SLO County. Morning low clouds and fog will be less extensive across the valleys but solid near the coast with typical slow clearing. .LONG TERM (FRI-MON)...24/258 AM. High temperatures will remain very similar later this week and possibly even into early next week as a very weak trough will persist along the West Coast. Not seeing any large scale gusty winds coming through the period and temperatures will remain near normal, except a little above normal inland. Some model solutions are showing a deeper trough developing early next week that could fast track a cooling trend. && .AVIATION...24/0233Z. At 2339Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 1300 ft deep.
