 .DISCUSSION...FOR SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA INCLUDING SAN DIEGO... 
 ORANGE...SOUTHWEST SAN BERNARDINO AND WEST RIVERSIDE COUNTIES.
 
 CLEAR SKIES...WITH WARM DAYS AND COOL NIGHTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 
 FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT AND OFFSHORE FLOW PERSIST FOR ONE MORE 
 DAY. THIS EVENING...OFFSHORE WINDS REMAIN LOCALIZED WITH THE WIND 
 PRONE AREAS ONLY GUSTING OCCASIONALLY INTO THE 30 TO 35 MPH RANGE 
 WITH NOT MUCH MORE THAN A SURFACE OFFSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO PUSH 
 THEM. THE STRONGEST WINDS TONIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING WILL PEAK AT 
 AROUND 40-45 MPH AT THE FAVORED LOCATIONS...AND THAT SHOULD KEEP US 
 SHY OF THE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. IT WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE 
 WINDS OF TODAY...WITH ONLY A SLIGHT EASTERLY SHIFT IN DIRECTION. 
 TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE A LITTLE MORE FRIDAY. LOWS AT NIGHT WILL 
 CONTINUE TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE WITH THE DRY AIR IN THOSE AREAS WITH 
 CALM WINDS. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN DRY INLAND THROUGH SATURDAY WITH 
 POOR OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERY TONIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT. A TROUGH 
 OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE WEST COAST FROM THE NORTH ON 
 SATURDAY AND THROUGH CA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. MODELS 
 HAVE BEEN INCONSISTENT OR AT LEAST IN DISAGREEMENT ON WHETHER THERE 
 WILL BE PRECIPITATION OR NOT...BUT RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS TO REMAIN 
 JUST BARELY ON THE DRY SIDE. THE MOISTURE IS VERY LIMITED AND A DEEP 
 BUT DISRUPTED MARINE LAYER LOOKS LIKE THE BEST FORECAST FOR NOW. 
 COOL NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE UPPER 
 LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS AGAIN IN THE SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK FOR FAIR 
 AND WARMER WEATHER.
