.DISCUSSION...THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOT
WEATHER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY...OPENING THE
DOOR FOR A DEEPER MARINE LAYER TO DEVELOP AGAINST THE COAST RANGE.
ADDITIONALLY...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE AND A DEEP THERMAL
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EAST OF THE CASCADES ARE ENHANCING ONSHORE
FLOW...ALLOWING THE MODERATING INFLUENCE OF THE PACIFIC TO HAVE A
LARGER EFFECT ON THE BURN AREA. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT
AND THURSDAY...WITH SOME COASTAL LOW CLOUDS POSSIBLE DURING THE
LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS AND TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL.
