.DISCUSSION...

High pressure will remain over the region through the end of
the weekend. A slow rise in min RH values is expected this week
along with no appreciable rain chances through Sunday.

.QUESTIONS...

1) What is the probability, intensity, and duration of fog
possible Wednesday night into Thursday morning?

Not anticipating widesrpead dense fog. While some patchy/light
fog is possible mainly from 4-8AM, it`ll likely refrain from
becoming dense and is a small risk.

2) Is there a possibility of a sea breeze

Not seeing strong indications other than winds steadily
increasing this morning, but direction remains persistent from the
SSE to SE from mid-morning thru the evening.

3) Confidence in wind direction and intensity

Confidence is high in regards to direction and intensity. Can`t
rule out a rogue gust greater than forecast, but should remain
persistent today.
