Conditions will continue to dry with no wetting rain through the
week. The driest valleys will most likely see RH as low as 15
percent with poor RH recoveries overnight on upper slopes. Some
very isolated thunderstorms are possible though very unlikely

terrain driven (gusts below 15 mph) with generally northwesterly
and onshore flow along the coast and on exposed ridges.
