PUSHING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA AND THIS IS
CONFIRMED BY SOME HIGHER CLOUD COVER APPROACHING THE NORTH COAST
FROM THE WEST. ANOTHER FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE
NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA TUESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL
INCREASE CLOUDS AND BRING SOME LIGHT RAIN TO DEL NORTE COUNTY.
