.DISCUSSION...

The overall pattern for the burn area will stay similar, with some
sharpening of the upper level trough on Friday. This will result in
a colder airmass aloft and will lift the marine layer, thus marine
layer clouds and morning drizzle will be more difficult to clear
than the day before. Light winds will build in the afternoon with
gusts around 15 mph possible. Minimum humidities will increase
further with persist onshore flow and very good overnight
recoveries.
