DISCUSSION
MARINE: TWO PLAUSIBLE SCENARIOS FOR THE MARINE FORECAST, WITH LARGEST
IMPACTS EARLY IN THE FORECAST. THE FIRST, HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD, ARE SUSTAINED
NEAR GALE NORTHERLIES WITH GUSTS UP TO STRONG GALE. THINKING IS VALLEY WINDS
COMBINED WITH KATABATIC FLOW WILL KEEP STRONGEST WINDS IN PLACE THROUGH THE NIGHT
BEFORE DIMINISHING SOMEWHAT TO FRESH BREEZES IN THE MORNING HOURS ON TUESDAY. THE LESS
LIKELIHOOD SCENARIO IS FOR WINDS TO LARGELY BE BLOCKED BY MOUNTAINS, BESIDES FOR THE
OCCASIONAL STRONG GUST UP TO 45 KNOTS FROM THE NORTH.
AVIATION: HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS WITH ONLY LLWS AND SURFACE WIND CONCERNS.
IF WINDS ARE BLOCKED AT THE SURFACE, THEN CAN EXPECT 30 KNOTS OF LLWS FROM THE NORTH
AT AROUND 1000 FT. ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT LLWS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, AS WINDS ALOFT AND AT
THE SURFACE ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH TO 20 KNOTS OR LESS.
