.DISCUSSION...A cold front passed overhead this weekend, bringing cool,
dry air to the area. Expect clear skies with afternoons winds that
follow the typical upslope, upvalley flow. Gusts could be as high as 15mph
at 20ft. While the air remains chilly (~60F) RH values will be low due
to limited moisture in the air. Each night, expect easterly, offshore winds
aloft with light downslope flow and cooler temperatures with an inversion
trapping smoke into the valleys until around 10-11am each day. A warming
trend is expected through the week into the weekend.
