DISCUSSION
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE DOWN THE CA COAST
EARLY NEXT WEEK AND WILL STALL OFF CEN CA THROUGH LATE WILL. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASE IN ADVANCE OF THE TROUGH, BRINGING
STRONGER WINDS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE MOISTENING NW FLOW WILL
QUICKLY IMPROVE MINIMUM RH AND OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES. SHOWERS WILL
BE POSSIBLE STARTING MONDAY WITH MOISTURE WRAPPING NORTHWARD
AROUND THE LOW. CHANCES OF WETTING RAINFALL ARE CURRENTLY LOW,
BUT THE POSITION OF THE STALLING LOW MAY ALLOW FOR HIGHER
CHANCES MONDAY. THERE WILL BE INSTABILITY WITH THE LOW. CHANCES
FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER LAND ARE CURRENTLY LOW (LESS THAN 5%), BUT
THE FORECAST WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED IF THE LOW TAPS INTO
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH. THIS SCENARIO COULD ALSO
GENERATE MORE PRODUCTIVE RAIN PRODUCING SHOWERS MID TO LATE IN THE
WEEK.
