Forecast is based on forecast start time of 1600 PDT on August 12.

Service.

.DISCUSSION...It will be just a couple degrees cooler on Monday,
with humidity levels similar to Sunday, but also with slightly
stronger, breezy afternoon westerly winds. Moisture aloft
increases early Monday evening, with just enough instability to
warrant including a slight chance (10%) of thunderstorms into late
Monday night. If there is a thunderstorm, it would be dry.

Cooler temperatures and higher humidity will be more apparent on
Tuesday, with a slight decrease in afternoon winds, though very
weak instability will again develop. Similarly, it is again
prudent to mention a slight chance/10% probability of a
thunderstorm for the afternoon and evening. On the bright side,
the outlook for receiving rainfall from any thunderstorms is
better.

Nearly as cool, but stable conditions are expected to follow
during the remainder of the week.
