.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TODAY...BRINGING PLENTY OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL
MOISTURE TO THE AREA. AS THE COLDER AND MORE UNSTABLE AIR WITH THE
UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE REGION...THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SINCE THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
WILL REMAIN FAIRLY DRY...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP ARE EXPECTED
TO PRODUCE VERY LITTLE RAINFALL AND BRING A RISK OF ISOLATED DRY
LIGHTNING STRIKES. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN FOR TONIGHT AND SATURDAY WITH DRY WEATHER EXPECTED.
HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN MODERATE DURING THE DAY WITH GOOD RECOVERY
TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY 10 MPH OR LESS EXCEPT STRONGER OVER
