    As of 06:00 Hours we have a thick stratus cloud layer to 1900 meters and unlimited visibility.


For the forecast, mostly cloudy this morning as the surface ridge maintains moist low level onshore flow. The low to our Southeast is slowly moving away. We may see unsettled conditions later today as the stratus layer lifts with convective cloud development and the chance of some showers. Weaker onshore flow for Wednesday and a building high pressure over the Pacific will give us a mix of sun and cloud with warmer temperatures. Thursday through the weekend looks dry and warm with mostly sunny skies and some convective cloud development.

    Low pressure is quasi stationary.

   Low is slowly moving Eastward.

    High pressure is starting to push into our area.

    May still see some cloud for Wednesday but mostly warm sunny weather.

    High pressure strengthens into the weekend.
