.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTHWARD CIRCULATING
AROUND THE STRONG UPPER HIGH OVER THE GREAT BASIN. SOME HIGH BASED
CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE FORECAST AREA AS A WEAK EAST-WEST
WAVE STREAMS NORTHWARD IN THE FLOW. AS OF MID AFTERNOON THE
ATMOSPHERE IS CAPPED WITH VERY WARM 850/700 MB TEMPERATURES.
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS DEVELOPED TO THE EAST AND THE SHORT TERM
MODELS SUGGEST THE CAP WILL ERODE LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS
EVENING IN EASTERN TRINITY COUNTY. THE AIR MASS IS VERY UNSTABLE
WITH MODEL 925MB COMPUTED LIS AROUND -6. THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT WITH SLOW MOVING STORMS LIKELY PRODUCING LIGHTNING
BEYOND THE RAIN AREA.

A SHORT WAVE TROUGH OFF SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA THIS AFTERNOON WILL
MOVE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT AND TRIGGER MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ON
WEDNESDAY.  FORECAST INSTABILITY AND THE RIGHT ENTRANCE OF A JET
STREAK SHOULD HELP BRING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO EASTERN PORTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA AND SHOWERS TO THE ENTIRE AREA INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT.  THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
AS THE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC CONTINUES TO AFFECT THE
AREA AND BRING SHOWER ACTIVITY. THE LONG TERM MODELS REBUILD THE
RIDGE OVER THE WEEKEND WITH A RETURN TO HOT WEATHER INLAND. SCOTT

CLOUDS ALONG WITH ACCAS AND BRIEF SHRA/TSRA TO THE MOUNTAINS (TEWB

MAX AND IMPRESSIVE OUTFLOW BNDRYS HELPED SUSTAIN THE COMPLEX. OTHER
