The low that brought us winds and clouds yesterday (a little rain here and there) is now centered west of Monterey Bay this morning. It will bring weather to our area, the next few days, in the form of isolated thunderstorms, gusty winds, maybe some rain and snow in the upper elevations. Of course this forecast is a bit tricky because some of this weather could develop just about anytime, anywhere in our district. As this system hits the coast, it will pickup some sub-tropical moisture. So today and Tuesday look to be the best days for any wide spread precipitation. It begins to meander east Wednesday and Thursday and is replaced by a ridge of high pressure Friday.
