DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1...Drier and cooler conditions will be in place for several days.

KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... A couple of strong shortwaves the past couple of days have worked over the east/west heat dome/ridge and its arguable we could be in a cyclonic flow aloft. Any convection today should be pushed well to the south if it affects our area at all. More noticeable will be highs in the middle to upper 80s and lows except right along the coast in the 60s.

AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/

High confidence in mainly VFR conditions for the 12Z TAF period. Just a very low risk of brief restrictions from low clouds early this AM and showers/storms just about anytime, especially near the coast. Otherwise, breezy NE winds will prevail today, especially near the coast.

Extended Outlook... Mostly VFR conditions as drier high pressure builds in from the north.

MARINE

A decent NE flow will develop today enough to warrant a marginal smalll craft advisory through tonight. For the mid week period winds will diminish and take on a more easterly flow. Signigicant seas will be 3-5 with the headline diminishing to 2-4 feet.
