.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH TODAY
ALTHOUGH MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE INCREASING. SOME ACCAS CLOUDS
MOVING IN OVER THE PROJECT MAY PRODUCE AN ISOLATED SHOWER THROUGH
THE EARLY AFTERNOON TODAY. CAN NOT RULE OUT A THUNDERSTORM...BUT
CHANCES ARE VERY LOW. AFTER 2000 THIS AFTERNOON...INSTABILITY DOES
NOT LOOK CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPING SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS. 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. EXPECT GUSTY
SOUTHWEST WINDS TO PICK UP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH THE FRONT
AS WELL. 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.
