SUCH FLOW COMBINED WITH H85 TEMPS NEAR 18C SHOULD CRANK INLAND TEMPS TO THE MID 90S. WILL CONTINUE WITH LESSER PCPN CHANCES TOWARD THE COAST AND HIGHER INLAND. NW FLOW ESTABLISHES FRI NIGHT...BUT IS ALSO AHEAD OF MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE AROUND TAIL OF UPPER LOW. THE COMBINATION MAY ALLOW A BIT MORE ACTION NEAR THE COAST TOWARD DAYBREAK AND WILL INTRODUCE SLIGHT CHANCES HERE. NW-SE STORM MOTION INCREASES SAT AND THIS SHOULD SCOOT ACTIVITY WELL INLAND...REACHING THE E COAST LATE IN THE DAY. EXTENDED: WIND SHIFT BOUNDARY SNEAKS INTO THE CENTRAL CWFA SUN AND PARKS... LIGHTENING WINDS AND ALLOWING FOR SEA BREEZE COLLISIONS ONCE AGAIN. THE BOUNDARY WASHES OUT LATE SUN/MON...AND SLOWLY BUILDING SFC HIGH TO OUR N WILL ESTABLISH AT LEAST A LOW LVL ESE FLOW FOR MID WEEK.
