.DISCUSSION...A WEAK COLD FRONT ALONG THE COAST TODAY WILL EDGE
INLAND TONIGHT AND DISSIPATE FRIDAY. IT WILL BRING A DEEPER MARINE
PUSH TO THE WEST SIDE WITH STRATUS AND HIGHER HUMIDITIES PUSHING
TO THE UMPQUA DIVIDE AND PERHAPS SPILLING OVER. IT WILL BE
SLIGHTLY MORE HUMID EAST OF THE CASCADES FRIDAY WITH A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM SISKIYOU COUNTY NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS
THE EAST SIDE. CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED THAT A CLOSED LOW WILL SET
UP NEAR THE BAY AREA OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...HOWEVER IT IS EXPECTED TO BE TOO FAR SOUTH TO BRING ANY
STORMS TO OUR AREA. WE SHOULD SEE OFFSHORE FLOW AND HOTTER...DRIER
WEATHER SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
