.DISCUSSION...SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING TROUGH THAT IS CURRENTLY MOVING
INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS COULD BE A BIT GUSTY
IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. AN ISOLATED STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON...BUT IT APPEARS THAT MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
SHOULD REMAIN EAST OF THE WET MOUNTAINS. WINDS COULD TURN EASTERLY FOR
A WHILE EARLY IN THE EVENING...DEPENDING ON HOW THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP
TO THE EAST...BEFORE RELAXING OVERNIGHT. DRY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL RESUME
ON WEDNESDAY...AND WILL STRENGTHEN EVEN MORE ON THURSDAY. THURSDAY COULD
FEATURE SOME EXTREMELY CRITICAL CONDITIONS WITH EXTREME HEAT AND GUSTY
WINDS.
