1000 PM PST THU JAN 26 2006

.SHORT TERM...PLENTY OF STRATOCU OVER THE DISTRICT THIS EVENING 
THANKS TO RESIDUAL MOISTURE FROM A FRONT THAT DIED OVER THE REGION 
TODAY. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CLEARING SPOTS LIKE THE L.A./VTU COASTAL 
AREAS AND THE SBA S COAST. CLOUDINESS FROM ANOTHER DYING FRONT WAS 
QUICKLY MOVING INTO SLO COUNTY THIS EVENING IT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS 
MOISTURE SHOULD MOVE SE ACROSS THE DISTRICT OVERNIGHT AND MAKE IT TO 
SOME DEGREE TO L.A. COUNTY LATE TONIGHT. OVERALL IT LOOKS LIKE 
VARYING AMOUNTS OF CLOUDS OVER THE REGION THRU THE NIGHT...AND A FEW 
LIGHT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON THE NORTH SLOPES LATER TONIGHT AS 
WELL.

A BROAD NW FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL OVER SRN CA FRI THRU SAT...THEN A 
WEAK UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR SUN. A DYING FRONT 
WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN PARTS OF THE DISTRICT EARLY FRI THEN 
DISSIPATE BY AFTERNOON. SOME CLOUDINESS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE 
FRONT IN THE MORNING. A NORTHERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE OVER THE 
MOUNTAINS WITH CLOUDS ALONG THE NORTH SLOPES AND PERHAPS A FEW 
SHOWERS. IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER WEAKENING FRONT WILL APPROACH THE 
DISTRICT FROM THE N SAT THEN DISSIPATE SAT NIGHT. OTHERWISE 
GENERALLY FAIR WX OVER THE DISTRICT THRU THE WEEKEND. TEMPS WILL BE 
SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL THRU SAT THEN WARM SOME TO NEAR NORMAL 
IN MANY AREAS FOR SUN. 

...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

.LONG TERM...RIDGING CONTINUES INTO MONDAY BUT WITH OFFSHORE LOW 
LEVEL FLOW. UPPER AND THERMAL SUPPORT ARE NON EXISTENT SO IT WILL 
NOT BE MUCH OF A WIND PRODUCER BUT THERE SHOULD BE A NICE WARM UP.

ANOTHER DYING FRONT WILL BRING CLOUDS AND ONSHORE FLOW TO THE AREA 
TUESDAY. IT LOOKS VERY WEAK AND IN ITS CURRENT FORECAST WILL NOT 
PRODUCE RAIN. IT WILL SERVE TO COOL THINGS OFF.

RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA AGAIN ON THURSDAY AND IF THIS HOLDS 
TRUE IT SHOULD BE A SUNNY AND WARMER DAY.

.AVIATION...PLENTY OF STRATOCU BRINGING MVFR TO VFR CIGS TO THE 
DISTRICT. THIS REGIME SHOULD PERSIST THRU FRI MORNING THEN GENERALLY 
VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED AT ALL TAF SITES FRI AFTERNOON AND
