DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL STRENGTHEN OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS, BRINGING PERSISTENT SOUTHWESTERLY WIND FLOW, ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND A CONTINUED LACK OF MEASURABLE RAINFALL.
LOW FUEL MOISTURE AND DECREASING AFTERNOON RH THROUGH THE WEEK
WILL LEAD TO INCREASED FIRE DANGER OVER THE AREA. DAILY
SEABREEZES WILL TRAVEL FROM THE COAST INLAND THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. NEXT MINIMAL CHANCE OF RAIN WILL COME SUNDAY WITH A
COLD FRONT.
WIND PROFILE ANALYSIS/FIRE CONTROL OVER FLAT TERRAIN IS FAVORABLE.
FOG POTENTIAL FOR TONIGHT IS MODERATE.
