.DISCUSSION...

A DEEP TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OFF THE COAST WILL SEND
A WEAK DISTURBANCE INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH THIS
EVENING. CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO SUBSIDE NEAR YOUR FIRE AND NO
THUNDER IS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. DRIER AIR
WILL TEMPORARILY MOVE OVER THE FIRE ON WEDNESDAY AND END THE
THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT INLAND BY
THURSDAY AND SHOULD BE FIRMLY ENTRENCHED OVER THE FIRE BY THE
WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT COOLING TREND WITH
INCREASING CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION.
