..DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY
THE MARINE LAYER REMAINS BETWEEN 1000 TO 1500 FEET AS RIDGING
REBUILDS OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND PUSHES INTO CALIFORNIA.
OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES ARE EXCELLENT WITHIN THE MARINE LAYER
BUT REMAIN POOR TO FAIR ABOVE IT. THE MARINE LAYER IS EXPECTED TO
COMPRESS BELOW 1000 FEET BY MID-WEEK WITH OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES
WORSENING ACROSS THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE INTERIOR CENTRAL COAST.
WARMER, DRIER CONDITIONS THIS WEEK WILL SEE A RETURN OF DAYTIME RH
VALUES IN THE TEENS TO 20S ACROSS THE INTERIOR CENTRAL COAST AND
EASTERN SANTA CLARA HILLS WHILE FAIR DAYTIME HUMIDITY RETENTION
CONTINUES WITHIN THE MARINE LAYER. DIURNALLY BREEZY ONSHORE WINDS
CONTINUE WITH GUSTS GREATER THAN 25 MPH ACROSS FAVORED MOUNTAIN
GAPS/PASSES, THE COAST, AND HIGHEST RIDGELINES.
NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
