.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (SUN AM - SAT AM)...

A trough deepens offshore of nrn CA and the PacNW this morning. This 
system will shift southeastward forming a cutoff low in the late 
afternoon/early evening. Expecting the low to head across the Bay 
Area overnight dipping into srn CA through early Monday afternoon 
before pushing inland through se CA and finally off into the Desert 
Southwest Tuesday evening. Expecting more widely scattered showers 
for most of today before some tropical moisture moves into far 
srn/se CA tonight/tomorrow. The system will pick up this moisture 
and make for better chances of more widespread shower activity 
across the Sierra, se CA, and srn NV Monday into Tuesday. 
Thunderstorms over these areas are a possibility as well. The low 
will also result in below normal temperatures for the next few days. 

As the low exits, high pressure looks to build in behind it from 
offshore. This should end any additional precip chances for the rest 
of the forecast period as well as raising temperatures. Afternoon 
high temperature anomalies are expected at +5 to +15 deg F through 
at least Friday.
