703 PM PDT MON AUG 24 2009

IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE, CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.

DISCUSSION...LITTLE CHANGE IS FORECAST FOR THE WEATHER OVER THE
BURN-SITE ON TUESDAY AS A MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL COMBINE WITH A
MARINE LAYER AROUND 1700 FEET WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
EXCELLENT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES FOR LOWER ELEVATION AREAS. TEMPERATURES
WILL START TO WARM THIS WEEK AS AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO
BUILD IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST. AT THIS TIME THE ONSHORE FLOW IS
FORECAST TO CONTINUE FOR THE WEEK WHICH WILL PREVENT THE HOT WEATHER
FROM MAKING IT TO LOWER ELEVATION AREAS AND WILL ALSO HELP TO PREVENT
AN OFFSHORE FLOW FROM SETTING UP.
