DISCUSSION
A DRY TROUGH WILL SWING THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY. SOME HIGH CLOUDS
COULD ACCOMPANY THAT, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT. MARINE CLOUDS STAY BENEATH THE BURN
ELEVATION AND CLOSER TO THE COAST. IT'LL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN ON THURSDAY.
THE FLOW WILL BECOME MOSTLY OFFSHORE SATURDAY, SO THINGS WARM UP AGAIN, BUT IT
LIKELY TURNS ONSHORE AGAIN SAT NIGHT/SUN. WARMER, DRY AFTERNOONS ARE EXPECTED
EARLY NEXT WEEK. NEXT CHANCE AT PRECIP WON'T COME UNTIL SOMETIME MID-LATE NEXT
WEEK -- MODELS ARE STILL WAFFLING ON HOW THIS PLAYS OUT, WHETHER THERE IS A
CONVECTIVE PATTERN WITH A CHANCE AT SHOWERS/T-STORMS OR IF THE PATTERN IS
MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH JUST OCCASIONAL TROUGHS AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. WE'LL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR, BUT ODDS ARE FAVORING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS/PRECIP FOR WEEK
2 BEGINNING MAY 15.
