.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL PERSIST WELL INTO NEXT
WEEK. DRY NORTHERLY FLOW WILL KEEP OUR SKIES CLEAR WITH MILD TEMPS
DURING THE DAY. WINDS WILL STAY GENERALLY LIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND
WITH SOME NIGHTTIME GUSTS POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A WEAK COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE. THIS RELATIVELY STAGNANT PATTERN SHOULD FINALLY
BREAK AS THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT EAST AND MOVE ACROSS THE ROCKIES INTO
THE PLAINS THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES
IN OFF THE PACIFIC. THIS WILL BRING INCREASED CLOUDINESS AND WESTERLY
BREEZES AND THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
