.SYNOPSIS...

TREND. THIS WESTERLY WIND IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEK ACHIEVING

THE COOLING TREND IN TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TODAY RESULTING

ADDITION...COOL AIR WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE CONDITIONS OVER THE

ENVIRONMENT. WHILE WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH ON SATURDAY...
TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN THEIR SLOW RISE.

LONGER RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE JET STREAM FLOW SHIFTING
NORTH AND OUT OF CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA MAY STILL
FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THE COOLER AIR THIS WEEKEND WITH THE DISTRICT

HIGHER UNCERTAINTY IN THE LONGER RANGE...THE TREND OF REACHING THE
CENTURY MARK BY WEDNESDAY IS STILL POSSIBLE. BY THE END OF THE

INCREASE. YET...A WESTERLY FLOW WILL STILL DOMINATE AND CONFINE
