845 PM PST MON NOV 11 2002

BIGGEST CONCERN FOR TONIGHT ARE THE WINDS. SEVERAL SENSORS SO FAR 
THIS EVENING ARE REPORTING WINDS FLIRTING WITH ADVISORY CRITERIA 
ACROSS THE LA/VTU MTNS AND VALLEYS...MAINLY IN THE FAVORABLE WINDY 
LOCATIONS. WITH LAX-DAG GRADIENT ALREADY AT -5.2 AND EXPECTED TO GET 
JUST PAST -6.0 BY 12Z...AND MESO-ETA CROSS-SECTIONS FOR THE SANTA 
CLARA RIVER VALLEY SHOWING A STRONG LOW-LEVEL SUBSIDENCE BULLSEYE 
DEVELOPING COINCIDENT WITH NORTHEAST 25 TO 30 KT WINDS AND 
ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE BY 06Z...I HAVE A FEELING WE WILL SEE WINDS 
BELOW/THROUGH PASSES AND CANYONS REACHING ADVISORY CRITERIA AFTER 
MIDNIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH MID TO LATE MORNING. WILL ISSUE AN 
ADVISORY FOR THESE AREAS SHORTLY.

OTHERWISE...CLEAR OVERNIGHT WITH COOL TEMPS WHERE THE WIND STAYS 
LIGHT. OFFSHORE GRADS WEAKEN DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...BUT REMAIN 
OFFSHORE FOR MUCH OF IF NOT ALL OF THIS WEEK.
