LAST UPDATE: 8:16 AM PDT AUG 06, 2007

LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OFF THE WEST COAST GIVING US A SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT RESULTING IN DRY CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES JUST BELOW NORMAL FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. I EXPECT GUSTY CONDITIONS IN BOTH THE VALLEYS AND HIGH COUNTRY TODAY AND TUESDAY. ANY THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SHOULD REMAIN EAST OF OUR AREA. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW COULD TRANSPORT SMOKE FROM THE FIRES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO PARTS OF OUR AREA TODAY AND TOMORROW.
