.DISCUSSION... A DEEP AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
COAST WILL DROP SOUTH AND PASS OVER THE REGION THIS WEEK...WHICH WILL BRING A
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE WEATHER TO THE SITE. TUESDAY WILL SEE VERY
LITTLE CHANGE AS WINDS REMAIN OUT OF SOUTH/SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF THE LOW...
WITH VARIABLE UPPER LEVEL CLOUDINESS. BY WEDNESDAY...SOUTHERLY WINDS SHOULD
BEGIN TO INCREASE AS THE LOW GETS CLOSER...AND WE WILL ALSO SEE MOISTURE
BEGIN TO INCREASE AS WELL...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
STARTING LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING. THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE THE MAIN DAY TO FOCUS ON
WITH PRECIPITATION LIKELY...AND PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS AS THE LOW CENTER PASSES OVER THE MOJAVE DESERT. THE INCREASE IN
MOISTURE ALONG WITH THE TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO AT LEAST 10 DEGREES BELOW
WILL RESULT IN HIGHER RH VALUES...WITH MIN RH EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 40S ON
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL HAVE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY
BY LATE FRIDAY. NEXT WEEKEND AND INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEK...CONDITIONS WILL
DRY AND TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NORMALS AS A DRY WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT SETS UP.
