.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND 
A THERMAL TROUGH ALONG THE SOUTHERN OREGON COAST WILL DOMINATE 
THE WEATHER FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. HIGH PRESSURE, COMBINED WITH
OFFSHORE NORTHEAST FLOW JUST ALOFT OVER THE HIGHER RIDGES, WILL 
BRING CONTINUED WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS TO THE AREA TODAY. WINDS 
WILL BE  MAINLY SLOPE DRIVEN. HOWEVER AS A WEAK TROUGH APPROACHES 
LATE THIS AFTERNOON EXPECT SYNOPTIC WINDS OUT OF THE NORTH TO 
INCREASE OVER THE REGION AND THIS MAY OVERWHELM THE SLOPE DRIVEN 
SOUTHERLY WINDS BY LATE AFTERNOON CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING. THE 
WEAK TROUGH PASSAGE THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE DRY BUT WILL BRING AN 
INCREASE IN HUMIDITY TO THE AREA ON FRIDAY.
