.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH
THIS WEEK WITH DRY HOT WEATHER EXPECTED. THE RIDGE ALOFT PULLS BACK
TO THE WEST OVER THE WEEKEND WITH A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS POSSIBLE AT
THAT TIME.

TONIGHT WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST. FOG IS NOT
EXPECTED ALONG THE COASTAL SECTIONS, HOWEVER FARTHER INLAND, NORTH
OF INTERSTATE 10, AND AWAY FROM THE BURN SITE VERY THIN AND VERY
PATCHY FOG MAY FORM.

A SEA BREEZE CAN BE EXPECTED AGAIN A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNRISE. WITH
THE SOUTH FLOW THE BOUNDARY WILL SWEEP INLAND AND ALLOW FOR WINDS
TO INCREASE ALONG THE COAST, HOWEVER RAIN IS NOT EXPECTED AS THE
RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL.
