The west coast trough moved inland around the middle of the day bringing a sea breeze with the marine layer currently advecting inland.Marine layer clouds developing tonight.

The radiational cooling of the moist marine layer overnight brings the possibility of areas of fog early on Wednesday,most likely in the north and east where the winds are lighter.

Southerly pressure gradient "bends" with solar heating on Wednesday leading to a significant sea breeze in the afternoon and evening with weaker pressure gradients towards the end of the working week leading to lighter winds by Friday.

Marine layer advects inland again on Friday afternoon and the radiational cooling of the moist marine layer overnight brings the possibility of areas of fog early on Saturday.Some uncertainty on the mesoscale features on Saturday and cannot rule out a shower.

Pressure gradient will be stronger during the weekend leading to slightly stronger sea breezes.

During the next working week,a cold front possibly moves through the region.
