Launch Weather Officer: 30th Weather Squadron
Synoptic Discussion: "A low pressure center West of San Francisco becomes stationary with an elongated trough stretched across the Eastern Pacific. Energy associated with this system coupled with moisture from the South creates broken layers of mid and upper cloud. A weak surface eddy South of the Channel Islands will decay during the early afternoon having little effect on range weather. A dominant Southwesterly flow in the lower levels persists over the Central Coast, and surface winds remain Southwesterly at 10 - 15 knots while marine layer stratus dominates. Upper level winds are light and Southerly at 25 - 30 knots."
24 Hour Scrub Forecast: "The low moves little overnight and the associated trough tracks only slightly Eastward. The marine layer will continue to dominate with very low ceilings and visibility during the evening and overnight hours, while surface winds stay Southwesterly at 10 - 15 knots. Mid and upper levels dry out with winds Southerly 20 - 25 knots."
