The watch remains in effect from 11 a.m. Tuesday until 11 a.m. Wednesday for the interior portion of Mendocino County and the western half Mendocino National Forest, among other places in Northern California. “Monsoon moisture flowing north over the desert southwest will arrive over the area by Tuesday,” stated a portion of a release issued by NWS early Monday morning. “The mid- and upper-level moisture combined with south-southeast convec- tively favorable wind flow has the potential to bring isolated dry thunderstorms by Tuesday afternoon. These thunderstorms will be moving from south to north. The most likely develop- ment will occur over ridges, but could move north-ward over valley locations. Deeper moisture is forecast to arrive by Wednesday leading to greater coverage and wetter thunder- storms. A chance of thunderstorms will continue into Thursday morning.” Rob Burgess/The Daily Journal Doug Boushey, a meteorologist with the National Weather The kitchen of the raided home was nearly completely filled with budding adult marijuana plants.

After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
