VERY COOL NEXT FEW DAYS ON TAP FOR EVERYWHERE ON THE COASTAL SIDE OF
THE MOUNTAINS. MARINE LYR DEPTH HAS REACHED ALMOST 4000 FEET THIS
MORNING AND SEE NO REASON WHY THIS DEEPENING TREND WONT CONTINUE
THROUGH WED. AN UPPER TROF CONTINUES TO DIG ALONG THE WEST COAST,
MAKING MID-AUGUST SEEM LIKE MID-JUNE. LOCAL NIGHT AND MORNING DRIZZLE
WILL MAKE FOR DAMP CONDITIONS IN THE COASTAL AND VALLEY SECTIONS EACH
OF THE NEXT TWO DAYS WITH POSSIBLY EVEN SOME MEASURABLE RAIN IN
PLACES. ZONES ARE REASONABLY PESSIMISTIC, THOUGH AFTERNOON CLEARING IN
THE VALLEYS MAY BE QUITE LATE OR EVEN NON-EXISTENT IN SOME PLACES AND
PARTIAL CLEARING IN THE COASTAL ZONES MAY BE OVERLY OPTIMISTIC.

AFTER WEDNESDAY, WE SHOULD START TO SEE A VERY SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN
BURNOFF TIMES, THOUGH COASTAL AREAS WILL STRUGGLE TO SEE ANY SUN
DURING THE AFTERNOON. WARMING TREND WILL BECOME A LITTLE MORE
PRONOUNCED OVER THE WEEKEND, BUT PROBABLY JUST ENOUGH TO GET BACK TO
SEASONAL LEVELS.
