DISCUSSION FOR VANDENBERG ECC DISPATCH

..DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY
WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE
UPCOMING WEEK, ESPECIALLY AWAY FROM THE COASTAL MARINE INFLUENCES.
WHILE WE DO NOT ANTICIPATED EXTREME HEAT, FUELS WILL CONTINUE TO
DRY OUT. MID-TO-UPPER LEVEL MONSOONAL MOISTURE SURGE FROM THE SOUTH
BRINGS THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH-BASED CONVECTION TONIGHT INTO MONDAY.
THIS CONTINUES TO BE A LOW CONFIDENCE, LOW PROBABILITY BUT
POTENTIALLY HIGH IMPACT SCENARIO FOR THE BAY AREA AND CENTRAL
COAST. ANY HIGH-BASED THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP COULD LEAD TO
DRY LIGHTNING AND GUSTY, ERRATIC OUTFLOW WINDS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEKEND INTO MONDAY.
NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
