.DISCUSSION...LATE SUMMER HEAT AND WEAK MONSOON FLOW WILL END
TONITE AND TUES...AS UPPER TROF NEAR 130W PUSHES ONSHORE OF THE
WEST COAST TUES. FT ORD PROFILER ALREADY SHOWING EFFECTS OF
APPROACHING TROF WITH DEEPENING MARINE LAYER AT THE SURFACE AND
TEMPS DOWN NEAR 5 DEGS/C BETWEEN 1-4K FT. THE GFS/NAM SHOW H85
