.DISCUSSION...
A DECENT BREEZE THIS EVENING THROUGH THE DELTA IS HELPING TO COOL
OFF TEMPERATURES WHICH ARE RUNNING A COUPLE OF DEGREES COOLER THAN
LAST NIGHT. REDDING AND RED BLUFF HAD HIGHS OF 117 RESPECTFULLY SO
THE 100 IN SACRAMENTO WAS MUCH MORE BEARABLE. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE

WEAKENING. 850 MB TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO WARM ALMOST A COUPLE
OF MORE DEGREES FOR MONDAY AND MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO
PUSH FURTHER WEST...AND POSSIBLY THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY LOOK TO BE THE MOST CRITICAL DAYS AS FAR AS
THUNDERSTORMS ARE CONCERNED AND EVEN THOUGH THE CORE OF THE STORMS
WILL BE WET ON THE FRINGES DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES COULD BE A PROBLEM.
WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS ROLLING OFF
THE SIERRA THE NEXT SEVERAL EVENINGS TOWARDS THE FOOTHILLS/VALLEY.
ONE STRONG STORM DEVELOPED OVER THE SIERRA COUNTY WHICH WE HAD TO
WARN FOR BUT WE HAVE HAD NO REPORTS FROM THAT CELL...ALTHOUGH
FURTHER TO THE EAST A COUPLE OF WILDFIRES WERE STARTED FROM THE
LIGHTNING STRIKES. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE CLOSE TO WHAT THEY WERE
TODAY FOR MOST LOCATIONS ON MONDAY. REDDING AND RED BLUFF WILL
CONTINUE TO BAKE IN 110 PLUS DEGREE HEAT FOR ONE MORE DAY BEFORE
COOLING.
