.DISCUSSION...
Dry with coastal breezes early in the week will give way to
warmer and moister conditions mid week as high pressure moves
offshore and a weak storm system impacts the area. Drier
conditions will then return this weekend. Significant rainfall is
not expected with late week rain chances.
Wind profile analysis/fire control over flat terrain is Favorable.
Fog potential for tonight is None.
