SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES THROUGH MID-WEEK. DRY CONDITIONS WILL
PERSIST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. LIGHT RAINS ARE POSSIBLE LATE

&&

.DISCUSSION...AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG HAVE ONCE AGAIN
DEVELOPED ALONG PORTIONS OF THE REDWOOD COAST WITH MORE WIDESPREAD
CLOUDINESS OVER W MENDOCINO COUNTY AND THE ADJACENT COASTAL
WATERS. THIS CLOUDINESS IS EXPECTED TO ERODE OVER LAND FROM THE
EDGES WITH DAYTIME MIXING. LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY LINGER OFF THE
COAST THRU THE DAY...AND MAKE THEIR WAY BACK INLAND BY LATE
AFTERNOON AND LOW-LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE ONSHORE. MODELS ARE
INDICATING QUITE A BIT OF INLAND EXPANSE OF LOW CLOUDS N OF CAPE
MENDOCINO BY MIDNIGHT...AND THIS WILL PUT A DAMPER ON LUNAR
ECLIPSE VIEWING IF IT PANS OUT. WILL BE CREATING SOME SOCIAL MEDIA
PRODUCTS TO DISCUSS THE ECLIPSE FORECAST.

A SHORTWAVE WILL IMPACT THE PACIFIC NW COAST WELL N OF THE AREA
TODAY. ANY MEASURABLE PRECIP FROM THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN N OF THE AREA. HIGH PRESSURE IS PROGGED TO REBUILD OVER THE

NW COAST LATE IN THE WEEK WHILE AN UPPER LOW DEVELOPS AND PUSHES
TOWARD S CA. HAVE BUMPED POPS UP A BIT ABOVE CLIMO OVER THE N INTO
THE COMING WEEKEND.

BEST CHANCE OF INLAND FROST OR LIGHT FREEZE APPEARS TO BE WED
MORNING AS UPPER TROF DIGS E OF THE REGION AND BRINGS THE LOWEST
THICKNESSES TO THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE
HWO. THIS WILL COINCIDE WITH THE START OF THE GROWING SEASON OVER
ZONE 4...AND A HEADLINE MAY BE REQUIRED. /SEC

THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT AND A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL STRENGTHEN
ACROSS THE WATERS TIGHTENING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. WINDS AND SEAS
WILL INCREASE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE IN
