.DISCUSSION...
THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF THE LAST FEW DAYS HAS
MOVED EAST OF THE PROJECT AND BEEN REPLACED BY A
DEEP TROUGH POISED OFF THE COAST. THE TROUGH WILL PUSH A WEAK
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE PROJECT TODAY RESULTING IN COOLER
AND MORE HUMID CONDITIONS. THERE WILL ALSO BE OCCASIONAL LIGHT
SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE DAY...BUT WETTING RAINS ARE NOT EXPECTED.
THE FRONT WILL SLIDE EAST OF THE PROJECT TONIGHT BRINGING A
BRIEF BREAK TO THE WET WEATHER. THE OFFSHORE TROUGH WILL PASS
OVER THE PROJECT MONDAY AFTERNOON RESULTING IN ANOTHER CHANCE OF
RAIN SHOWERS AND EVEN COOLER TEMPERATURES.
