TREND. LATEST INDICATIONS ARE THAT ALL RAIN STAYS NORTH OF SONOMA.

IS OCCURRING WITH MOST AIRPORTS REPORTING CLOUD DECKS BETWEEN 1000
AND 1500 FEET EARLY THIS MORNING. ONSHORE GRADIENT IS 2.3 MB FROM
SFO TO SAC SO EXPECT CONTINUED WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUD FORMATION
THROUGH SUNRISE. TRAVIS AFB IS REPORTING A SW WIND GUSTING TO 22
KNOTS SUGGESTING A SOLID PUSH OF COOL MARINE AIR TO START THE DAY.
HOWEVER HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD WITH WARMING ALOFT OVER THE NEXT
