.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER TROUGH APPROACHING THE WEST COAST WILL
BRING ONSHORE WINDS TO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
MARINE LAYER CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT MUCH OF THE COASTLINE
LATER TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT THE LAYER WILL BE
SHALLOW ENOUGH THAT LOW CLOUDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH THE FIRE
AREA. HOWEVER...THE ONSHORE FLOW AND DEVELOPING MARINE LAYER WILL
PRODUCE IMPROVED HUMIDITY RECOVERIES TONIGHT. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE
MARINE LAYER DEPTH WILL INCREASE ENOUGH TO PUSH LOW CLOUDS INTO
THE BURN AREA...WITH A MARKED INCREASE IN OVERNIGHT HUMIDITIES.

THE APPROACHING TROUGH WILL ALSO BRING A COOLING TREND TO THE AREA
THAT WILL PERSIST THROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK. WINDS WILL REMAIN
LIGHT TO MODERATE FROM THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST. THE COOLING AND
MOISTENING TREND IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK.
