.DISCUSSION...
A brief period of northerly flow will occur this morning behind a
departing cold front. The associated ridge will quickly move east with
the onshore flow beginning this afternoon. Moisture and
temperatures are anticipated to increase into Wednesday ahead of
the next front.
A much stronger cold front is expected to move through
Thanksgiving Day, followed by stronger northerly winds and much
colder air expected through the weekend.
Thin and patchy fog may be possible early Wednesday, however winds
are expected to remain elevated enough to prevent widespread or
dense fog.
