145 PM PDT SAT JUN 22 2002

TEMPERATURES REALLY STARTING TO SHOOT UPWARDS TODAY IN THE VALLEYS AND
MOUNTAINS. ABOVE 3000 FEET, TEMPS WERE UP 20 TO 30 DEGREES WHILE THE
VALLEYS WERE GENERALLY UP 5 TO 10 AND COASTAL AREAS UP 1 TO 5. ACARS
SOUNDING THIS AFTERNOON PRETTY MUCH CONFIRMING WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW
WHICH WAS THE MARINE LYR IS DEFINITELY SHRINKING. IT LOOKS LIKE THE
TOP OF THE MARINE LYR IS NOW AROUND 2000 FEET AND THIS WILL PROBABLY
COME DOWN ANOTHER 500 FEET OR SO BY SUNDAY. THIS MEANS LOW CLOUD
COVERAGE WILL BE EVEN MORE PATCHY THAN IT WAS LAST NIGHT AND THIS
MORNING. AND TEMPS ON SUNDAY WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AGAIN, ESPECIALLY
IN THE VALLEYS WHERE MID 90S WILL BE POSSIBLE.

A FEW MORE DEGREES OF WARMING MONDAY BUT TEMPS SHOULD LEVEL OFF
THROUGH THE WEEK AFTER THAT WITH JUST MINOR DAY TO DAY FLUCTUATIONS.
MARINE LYR CLOUDS WILL BE CONFINED TO THE COASTAL AREAS AND MAINLY IN
LA COUNTY.
