.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL CONTINUE
TO WEAKEN AS WE GO THROUGH THE WEEK. THIS WEAKENING IS IN RESPONSE
TO A LARGE SCALE PATTERN CHANGE TAKING PLACE THIS WEEK ALONG THE WEST
COAST. A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST AND CARVE OUT A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE. THIS TROUGH THEN
MOVES DOWN THE COAST AND ACROSS THE BURN SITE OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

COOLING AND HIGHER HUMIDITIES CAN BE EXPECTED EACH OF THE NEXT 4 DAYS
AS WESTERLY FLOW RETURNS BY WEDNESDAY. EXPECT BELOW SEASONAL
TEMPERATURES WITH MODERATE DAYTIME HUMIDITIES AND EXCELLENT OVERNIGHT
RECOVERY BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

THE PASSING LOW PRESSURE TROUGH THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND WILL LIKELY
BRING LIGHT RAIN TO THE BURN SITE BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND WELL
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
