...Synopsis...
The surface high pressure gradient should begin to relax, with
offshore flow gradually diminishing as the mid-level cutoff low
morphs into an open wave and overspreads the Baja Peninsula tomorrow
(Thursday). Before the pressure gradient weakens though, at least a
few more hours of dry and breezy offshore flow will persist in
terrain-favoring areas surrounding the Los Angeles metropolitan
area, with Elevated highlights introduced.
