..DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY
...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY EARLY MORNING ACROSS MONTEREY AND SAN BENITO COUNTIES DUE
TO HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS...
A SLIGHT (15%) CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES THROUGH EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING FOR MONTEREY AND SAN BENITO COUNTIES. CONFIDENCE
HAS INCREASED COMPARED TO EARLIER THIS MORNING DUE TO THE
OVERPERFORMANCE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LATE THIS MORNING AND
AFTERNOON COMPARED TO MODEL GUIDANCE. OTHERWISE, THE MARINE LAYER
DEEPENS TO BETWEEN 2000 TO 2500 FEET TOMORROW INTO THE WEEKEND
BEFORE RIDGING RETURNS LATE WEEKEND AND COMPRESSES THE MARINE
LAYER. OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES IMPROVE ACROSS THE REGION AS THE MARINE
LAYER DEEPENS WHILE POOR TO FAIR DAYTIME HUMIDITY RETENTION
CONTINUES ABOVE 2000 FEET AND INTERIOR CENTRAL COAST. TYPICAL
BREEZY ONSHORE WINDS REMAIN EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WHERE GUSTS
OF 25-35MPH ARE EXPECTED FOR FAVORED GAPS, PASSES, AND VALLEYS.
NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
