.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA WILL PEAK IN STRENGTH ON TUESDAY. ASIDE FROM
BEING A BIT HOTTER AND DRIER...TUESDAY WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO MONDAY.
WEDNESDAY INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE OVER THE AREA YIELDING A SMALL THREAT
OF A THUNDERSTORM. WHILE COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN GENERALLY
ISOLATED THROUGH THE PERIOD...MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL SLOWLY
INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION. THIS MEANS THAT...AS TIME GOES ON...THERE
WILL BE AN INCREASED CHANCE THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE ABOVE
ISOLATED COVERAGE FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME ACROSS THE REGION.

.3-5 DAY OUTLOOK...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN AS LOW PRESSURE OFF OF THE
CENTRAL TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST APPROACHES AND THEN STALLS. THIS
WILL ALLOW MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO GRADUALLY INCREASE ACROSS THE
REGION...RESULTING IN A GRADUAL COOLING OF THE HOT TEMPERATURES AND
INCREASING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. STORMS SHOULD BE ISOLATED ON LIGHT
FLOW FROM THE WEST THURSDAY. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WIND FLOW WILL BE
MORE FROM THE SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN
POSSIBLE. MOISTURE VALUES REMAIN LOW ENOUGH THAT THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY.
