.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH TODAY...
ALTHOUGH MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE INCREASING. BUILDING CUMULUS
CLOUDS THIS MORNING MAY PRODUCE AN ISOLATED SHOWER AND POSSIBLE
AN AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW. TOWERING CUMULUS
ARE EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS THE ATMOSPHERE
STABILIZES A BIT. A BREAK DOWN IN THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS
EXPECTED SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH A COLD  FRONT MOVING THROUGH LATE
IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS FRONT WILL RESULT IN A BETTER CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON COMPARED TO TODAY...
BUT SHOWERS WILL BE HIT OR MISS AND ARE NOT LIKELY TO PRODUCE
WETTING RAINS. WINDS WILL BE A BIT GUSTY WITH FRONT OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST WITH THE FRONT...BUT THE PROJECT WILL LIKELY BE MORE
SHELTERED FROM THESE WINDS COMPARED TO AT THE RIDGE LINE. MORE
SEASONAL TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED BY MONDAY AS
THE MAIN TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE PUSHES IN OFF OF THE PACIFIC.
THIS TROUGH WILL BRING A BETTER CHANCE FOR WETTING RAINS ON MONDAY.
SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR MOUNTAIN SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
