AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT NORTH INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA THIS WEEKEND...FLATTENING THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. THIS WILL INCREASE THE ONSHORE FLOW AND BRING COOLER AIR TO THE AREA. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN AGAIN NEXT WEEK FOR ANOTHER STRETCH OF HOT AND DRY WEATHER.

SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL BELOW 10 FT THROUGH MID WEEK.

Though there are several areas of showers and thunderstorms in the Pacific Basin, no significant development is expected into midweek.
A tropical wave is along 105 west, near 10 north moving west at about 6 degrees longitude per day. This wave has shown a bit of an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity and is slowly developing low- and mid-level circulation. A second tropical wave is along 125 west between 5 north and 15 north. This wave will be encountering some drier air to its west, along with cooler water temperatures the next few days. Both waves are moving west at about 6 degrees longitude per day. http://hurricane.accuweather.com/hurricane/basin-story.asp?partner=netweather&traveler=0&basin=epacific
