...Discussion from Monterey...

Warm, dry weather continues through Friday as shortwave upper level
ridging and high pressure builds over the area. Gusty west to
northwest winds between 20 to 25 mph and dry daytime RH values
between 30 to 45 percent is expected through Friday across inland
portions of the Bay Area and Central Coast. Coastal regions and
areas of elevated terrain may experience stronger gusts between 25
to 30 mph with stronger. A pattern shift is expected Saturday as an
incoming low pressure system moves inland and brings cooler
temperatures, gusty winds, and beneficial wetting rains throughout
the Bay Area and Central Coast. Precipitation totals are expected to
 be between 0.25 to 0.75 inches throughout the Bay Area, and up to
0.50 inches in portions of Monterey and San Benito Counties. Coastal
 mountain ranges may see locally higher precipitation totals.

Note : All winds are 20-foot Winds Unless otherwise specified.
Thunderstorms imply strong, gusty and erratic winds.



...Discussion from Los Angeles/Oxnard...

Northwest to northeast flow will remain prevalent through Friday,
with gusts of 20 to 40 mph common over the windier mountains,
deserts, and Central Coast. Humidities remain dry over the mountains
but improve some on Friday. A weak cold front will pass through the
area later Saturday, likely bringing light rain to San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara Counties and the northern mountain slopes.
Accumulations will stay below 0.25 inches. This will increase
humidities over the weekend. Winds will shift to southwest to west
on Saturday, then back to west to north on Sunday. Gusts of 30 to
50 mph will be common over most areas, strongest in the mountains,
Antelope Valley, and southwest Santa Barbara County.  warming and
drying should follow starting Monday. Northwest to northeast wind
gusts to 20 to 40 mph will be common especially the first half of
next week.
