..DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY
...ELEVATED GRASS FIRE DANGER TODAY AND MONDAY WITH GUSTY WINDS ACROSS
GAPS AND PASSES...
ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY NW WINDS THIS AFTERNOON. GOOD MOISTURE
REMAINS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION WITH A REINFORCED MARINE LAYER
THANKS TO THE ROBUST ONSHORE FLOW. HOWEVER, AREAS ABOVE ABOUT
2,000 FEET WILL SEE VERY LIMITED OVERNIGHT RECOVERY, AND FAR INLAND
AREAS WILL BE VERY DRY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE STRONGEST
GUSTS WILL OCCUR MOSTLY ACROSS OUR FAVORED GAPS, PASSES, AND
VALLEYS, ESPECIALLY ALTAMONT PASS AND THE SALINAS VALLEY. WIND
BEGINS TO EASE LATER THIS EVENING.
NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.

FOOTHILLS. IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE SOME GUSTY SUNDOWNER WINDS

LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, MOSTLY FOCUSED FROM GAVIOTA TO SAN
MARCOS PASS WHERE GUSTS OF 25 TO 40 MPH ARE EXPECTED.
