...DISCUSSION FROM MONTEREY...

STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT CONTINUES TO BUILD ALONG THE WEST COAST.
THIS WILL CONTINUE THE UNSEASONABLY WARM AND DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD. A STRONG SURFACE HIGH IN THE GREAT BASIN WILL BRING
STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN THE NORTH AND EAST BAY HILLS TONIGHT THROUGH
AT LEAST MONDAY.


NOTE : ALL WINDS ARE 20-FOOT WINDS UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY STRONG, GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
