OF THE VALLEY. AN AREA OF SHOWERS IS ALSO SLIDING SOUTH THROUGH
THE DESERT...MOSTLY EAST OF KERN COUNTY. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ARE
IN THE FORECAST FOR THIS MORNING IN THESE AREAS...OTHERWISE A DRY

GRADIENT TIGHTENED UP CONSIDERABLY BY LAST NIGHT...WITH SFO-LAS
APPROACHING 20 MB OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY THIS
