.DISCUSSION...
TODAY WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN THE LAST SEVERAL. A SHALLOW COLD FRONT
WILL PUSH ONSHORE AFTER SUNRISE PUSHING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG INTO THE
AREA. WINDS WILL THEN TURN NORTHWEST TO NORTH IN THE AFTERNOON WHICH
SHOULD RESULT IN AT LEAST PARTIAL CLEARING. WINDS WILL LIKELY
BECOME GUSTY TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING AS OFFSHORE FLOW KICKS.
ON SUNDAY ANOTHER SHALLOW FRONT IS EXPECTED, BUT THERE MIGHT NOT
EVEN BE CLOUD COVER WITH THIS ONE. BEWARE THAT IF THE WINDS ARE NOT
NORTHWEST EARLY THIS MORNING THEY WILL BECOME SO AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH DURING THE MORNING.
