.DISCUSSION...The ridge has been pushed east as an upper level low
moves toward the area. A weak front associated with the low will
bring moisture to the area, with some drizzle at the coast. The
higher terrain will keep the moisture confined mostly to Del
Norte, Humboldt, and western Mendocino with minimum RHs for the
interior remaining in the 20s to 30s into mid-week. However, some
showers may affect the higher terrain of northern Trinity County
this afternoon and perhaps tomorrow. Maximum temperatures in
interior valleys remain mostly in the mid to upper 80s. Another
ridge will move into the area mid-week bringing more warm and dry
conditions for both coastal and interior areas.
