...SCATTERED SHOWERS/T-STORMS TODAY INTO WED...
...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS WILL COOL INTO NEXT WEEK...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (TUE AM - MON AM)...

High pressure resides off the west coast generally centered near 
40N/140W...while a weak disturbance is moving from the coastal 
waters of southern CA toward the CA/MX border. Today and tomorrow 
will bring an opportunity of scattered showers and t-storms mainly 
over the central/southern Sierra and portions of southern NV...along 
with the potential over the transverse mountains mainly from Ventura 
to San Bernardino counties. Then for the latter half of the 
week...the high pressure will weaken as a disturbance moves toward 
BC and the Pacific Northwest...and another weak upr low moves slowly 
along 30N toward coastal southern CA. Might see another round of 
mainly afternoon and early evening showers/t-storms for the southern 
Sierra into NV by the weekend. Above normal temperatures will 
persist through the week...cooling closer to or below normal by next 
week.
