.DISCUSSION...
A shallow backdoor cold front has pushed fog and low clouds into
the eastern slopes of Sacramento Mountains, and some gusty down-
slope winds along western slopes of lower mountain ranges. The
clouds will dissipate and winds will diminish by early afternoon.
Vent rates will be limited in the lowlands today, with improving
conditions over the next few days. More seasonable temperatures
will persist this week, with light winds. An upper level
disturbance may be able to tap into some moisture for
precipitation Thursday into Friday.
