...New AVIATION, MARINE...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 131 AM PDT Mon May 27 2024

Warmer today as a warming trend continues through the week.
Afternoon highs slightly above normal on tap for next weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 131 AM PDT Mon May 27 2024

A Deja Vu Monday for most as far as high temperatures go. A few
locations in the interior have the potential to be a couple of
degrees warmer. Summer time ridge pattern in full effect to round
out the holiday weekend. Marine layer remains intact through the
day near coastal areas with the associated stratus retreating to
the coastline by mid-to-late morning.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 131 AM PDT Mon May 27 2024

Tranquil weather through the work week with stratus clearing to
the coast each morning. A progressive, deep upper low traverses
through the Pacific NW midweek to flatten the ridge a bit. This
will keep any further warming at bay through the middle of the
week, but isn`t expected to bring any other notable change to the
weather. As this feature departs, the ridge builds back and a
secondary warming trend continues into the weekend.
