.KEY MESSAGES...

1. Clearing this afternoon will lead to fog development tonight
into tomorrow morning in the San Joaquin Valley.

2. A dry disturbance will introduce increasing winds the deserts
and mountain peaks Wednesday into Thursday.


&&

.DISCUSSION...
Tule Fog may make its return tonight into tomorrow morning due
to the clearing of the stratus this afternoon and the lingering
moisture in the atmosphere near the surface of the Valley. A
Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for the majority of the
Valley from 11 PM tonight through 11 AM tomorrow morning. Take
caution while driving and slow down, especially on the highways
and state routes as vehicles may be difficult to see in the fog.
This fog potential is expected to return by Friday if the
stratus that formed last week makes an appearance again.

A system is then expected to move through the Great Basin
Wednesday into Thursday, which may bring strong winds to the
desert and mountain peaks during that time. This system is not
expected to cause any precipitation, due to the fact that it
will be moving out of western Canada and not offshore where it
would otherwise pick up some marine air. The dry pattern is
expected to continue through the weekend as a ridge builds in
from the Pacific.

.AVIATION...
IFR/LIFR visibilities are expected to form for all TAF sites
from 07Z Tuesday through at least 19Z Tuesday, then conditions
