As the ridge moves on Thursday, dryer air will filter in aloft and while the hot center of the ridge will be farther away, it will take less energy to heat the dryer air, so temperatures in most inland areas will be close to Wednesday’s highs. We’ll warm quickly on the coast too, but the easing of high pressure will allow the marine layer to deepen and become more stable. Cooler, ocean air will eventually push farther into the valleys and clouds have a better chance at setting up near the coast.

FirstPersonSingular: Dominique Teixiera – Raggin’ On
Dominique Teixiera has a good reason for raggin’ on. Photo courtesy of Karolina Kaboompics. Mathilde Rand: December of 2008, I became part of the First Person Singular Team at KUSP (at that point we were five). During the last months of KUSP in 2016, I was the last hold-out. Now I am providing the same 2-minute program at KSQD, Community Radio, because I wholeheartedly believe in giving community members a voice. I am also the treasurer at KSQD. LAURIE CORN: I am attracted to the process of reducing a meaningful story or opinion to 90 seconds. I am a writer, so editing and honing a piece is a special love of mine. I have joined Mathilde Rand as co-producer of First Person Singular, and I encourage you to share your commentary on the air. This is community radio at its best.
