.SYNOPSIS...
Precipitation tapers off this evening with breezy northeast winds
overnight. More breezy north winds arrive Friday, otherwise 
expect mostly dry weather for the rest of the week with a slow 
warm up into the weekend.

.DISCUSSION...
Evening update: adjustments made to slow the decrease in cloud
cover. Few models are handling the slower decrease in the lower
decrease, save for perhaps the NAM and HRRR. Still there is some
clearing coming in from the north-northeast and this will continue
into Wednesday morning. /Cote'

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAFS: Clouds will gradually decrease through the remainder of
tonight into early Wednesday, with a BKN-OVC ceiling near 5-6kft
before the clearing after 09-11Z. Though that clearing be slower
near EAT. Some patchy fog is expected in the sheltered mountain
valleys tonight into early Wednesday, but it is expected to remain
away from TAF sites. /Cote'
