DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...WARM AND MORE HUMID CONDITIONS ALONG WITH A COLD
FRONT WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN RAIN CHANCES EARLY TO MID NEXT
WEEK.
DESCRIPTION...HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING WILL BE
SHIFTING OFFSHORE STARTING LATER TODAY AND PERSIST UNTIL A WEAK COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATER MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH OUR NEXT
RAIN CHANCES AREN'T IN THE FORECAST UNTIL LATER MONDAY WE CAN'T
COMPLETELY RULE OUT ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS AS EARLY AS SUN AFTN AS
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE/INSTABILITY, SEA BREEZE AND MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
ENERGY COME A BIT MORE INTO PLAY. ALTHOUGH DRIER AIR SHOULD
TEMPORARILY MOVE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT THERE WILL LIKELY
STILL BE AT LEAST LOW RAIN CHANCES THRU MID WEEK JUST DUE TO THE
HIGHER INSTABILITY AT THE VERY LEAST.
AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS PERSISTING THROUGH THE 06Z TAF
PERIOD. WINDS MAINLY LIGHT, EXCEPT 10-15 KT NEAR THE COAST
STARTING IN THE AFTERNOON DUE TO THE SEA BREEZE.
EXTENDED FORECAST...VFR TO GENERALLY PREVAIL OUTSIDE OF A LOW RISK
FOR SHALLOW EARLY MORNING FOG AND ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS STARTING
AS EARLY AS SUN AFTN. A LOW TO MODERATE RISK FOR RESTRICTIONS FROM
SHOWERS/STORMS IS EXPECTED MON AS A WEAK COLD FRONT IMPACTS THE
AREA, POSSIBLY LINGERING INTO TUE.
