.DISCUSSION...
Moist, onshore southeasterly flow will persist through the rest
of the week and weekend. Will monitor for patchy fog, some
potentially dense at times, each morning closer to the coastal
areas. Increased moisture will yield min RH`s each afternoon in
the 40`s to 60`s, steadily increasing into the 60`s to 70`s this
weekend as we`ll see increasing rain chances continue. Few
individual complexes of showers/storms will need to be monitored,
specifically late Saturday into Sunday with gusty winds and
dangerous lightning the main concerns, but we`ll remain in a
moist southerly flow through early to middle next week.
