.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST WILL BE MOVING
NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY. THIS FEATURE
IS DRAWING SOME MONSOON MOISTURE NORTHWARD OVER THE SIERRA NEVADA
AND EVEN THE CENTRAL VALLEY IN THE FORM OF SCATTERED MID LEVEL
CLOUDINESS. AS THE LOW MOVES INLAND ON MONDAY...SOME HIGH
CLOUDINESS IS FORECAST TO DRIFT OVER THE FIRE SITE. WHILE A
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS MAINLY EAST OF THE SIERRA NEVADA
CREST AND NOT OVER THE FIRE SITE...THE LOW IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN
BETTER MIXING OVER THE FIRE SITE ON MONDAY. WARM OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TONIGHT WITH ANOTHER HOT DAY ON MONDAY.
IT MAY ALSO FEEL A LITTLE MORE HUMID...BUT MINIMUM RH VALUES ARE
NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY.
