.DISCUSSION...

One more day of elevated rain chances before we turn drier through

period and winds outside storms will be persistent from the southeast.

.REMARKS...
1) There is a 10% chance of fog with vis <=1/2 mile tonight/Sat morning.
2) No sea brz expected.
3) A complex of storms moving east this morning will collapse by mid to
late morning over SE LA sending an outflow of west winds toward this site.
The wind direction at this site could shift to SW or even W as early as
2pm today before shifting back to a due south direction by late afternoon.
Confidence is not high in a uniform direction during the afternoon hours.
4) Storms will be weakening as they approach this site, but there is a
slight chance(20%) that some of this could reach this site. The earliest
that these showers or storms would reach this location would be 2pm.
