High pressure off the west coast and nudging into the region with northwesterly flow aloft as trough digs down into Pac NW and Nrn Rockies from Canada the next few days. This will bring dry and warm conditions. Temperatures generally near normal to 10 degrees above normal through Thursday. A weak disturbance (GFS stronger than EC) moves through Central/Srn CA and Srn NV on Friday that may bring some cumulus buildups and possibly isolated showers along the Srn Sierra in the afternoon/early evening. Ridge of high pressure shifts over the region over the weekend bringing max temperatures around normal to 15 degrees above normal except up to 10 degrees below along the NW CA coast on Saturday as the tail end of a cold front swinging into B.C./WA may brush by far NW CA coast. |
