...DRY CONDITIONS LAST INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (FRI PM - THU AM)...

Another afternoon forecast issuance with no changes to a dry 
forecast. 16/12Z models show little change through the middle of 
next week as the high pressure ridge along the west coast remains in 
place before eventually flattening a bit toward the latter half of 
the week. Maybe some light precip moving in Thursday into Friday 
with a weak s/wv trof moving across the region...but confidence is 
relatively low at this point...as the stubborn upr ridge may be 
tough to break down with a relatively weak feature.
