Below average high temperatures will continue through Thursday

seasonal averages. Late Wednesday night and Thursday the next low

of precipitation to the coast and western mountains. Any
precipitation from this next event is expected to be light with
the heaviest of locations expecting up to 0.10 inch.

After the frontal passage on Thursday, warming conditions will
begin in earnest Friday through the weekend with most locations
being near seasonal averages by Saturday afternoon, and 5 to 10
degrees above seasonal averages on Monday. High temperatures for
the inland valleys will warm into the mid 80s to lower 90s on
Saturday, and 90s to around 100 Monday. For the lower deserts,
high temperatures will warm to around 100 on Saturday, and to 102
to 107 on Monday.

.AVIATION...
-- Changed Discussion --
172030Z...Coast to mountain ridges...Isolated low clouds around 4000-
5000 ft MSL have mostly scattered out of inland areas this
afternoon. Areas of low clouds will redevelop after 02Z this
evening, with bases around 2000-2800 ft MSL and tops to 3500 ft MSL,
developing first at coastal mountain slopes and then spreading
toward the coast. Coverage will be more widespread than last night,
but will still be somewhat patchy and intermittent at coastal sites.
Moderate confidence in timing for CIGs at coastal sites. Local vis
reductions 1-3 SM for higher terrain above 2000 ft MSL where low
clouds intersect with terrain. Clouds will break up and scatter out
17-19Z Wed. 171500Z...Coast to mountain ridges...Areas of variable low clouds
with bases varying 3000-4000 ft MSL and tops as high as 6000 ft MSL
will continue this morning. Local terrain above 3000 feet MSL will
be obscured. Most areas to scatter out 16-18Z, starting at the coast
and working inland eventually to coastal mountain slopes. Areas of
low clouds will redevelop after 02Z, first at coastal mountain
slopes and later toward coast. Bases would be around 1800-2800 feet
MSL with tops to 3500 feet, scattering out similar to this morning
16-18Z Wed.

Otherwise... mostly clear today and tonight.
