.DISCUSSION...
MORNING FOG SHOULD BURN OFF BY 9 TO 10 AM THIS MORNING...GIVING
WAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES TODAY WITH WARM TEMPERATURES IN THE MID
TO UPPER 70S. THERE IS NOT AS GOOD OF A FOG SIGNATURE FOR TONIGHT
...BUT THAT WILL NEED TO BE RE-EVALUATED LATER TODAY.

THE BIG STORY IS STILL THE HEAVY RAIN/STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
FORECAST FOR THE TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY TIME FRAME. THE QPF VALUES
FOR THIS WEEK HAVE GONE UP AGAIN...IN THE 5 TO 8 INCH RANGE. LOCAL
AREAS COULD SEE OVER 10 INCHES OF RAIN...DEPENDING ON LOCATION OF
MCS DEVELOPMENT. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL LIKELY TO ISSUED FOR THIS
SITUATION WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

IN ADDITION...DUE TO THE LONG DURATION ONSHORE FLOW...MINOR COASTAL
FLOODING IS LIKELY...ESPECIALLY DURING HIGH TIDES...THROUGHOUT THE
WEEK. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL
BE MET FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK DUE TO HIGH SEAS AND STRONG WINDS.
