BRING A WARMING TREND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AND KEEP

.DISCUSSION...A LARGE UPPER LOW CURRENTLY PUSHING THROUGH THE PAC
NW HAS STRENGTHENED SURFACE P-GRADS RESULTING IN INCREASED WINDS
ACROSS MUCH OF OUR CWFA EARLIER THIS EVENING. WINDS NEARED

WESTERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY...BUT HAVE SINCE DECREASED AS P-GRADS
HAVE BEGAN TO SUBSIDE. 00Z WRF IS INDICATING THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO CROSS CENTRAL CA BY
LATE TONIGHT. AS A RESULT...EXPECT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES TO BE
SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS ON SATURDAY AS HEIGHTS AND
THICKNESSES LOWER. SKIES ARE MAINLY CLEAR ACORSS OUR AREA THIS
EVENING AS THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH HAS REMAINED
WELL TO THE NORTH OF OUR CWFA. TEMPERATURES ARE GENERALLY TRENDING
2-4 DEG F BELOW YDAY AND ARE ON TRACK TO REACH FORECASTED LOWS.
SINCE THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT AND SATURDAY LOOK TO BE IN GOOD
SHAPE...AM NOT PLANNING ANY UPDATES THIS EVENING.

00Z WRF AND GFS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH BUILDING THE EPAC RIDGE
INTO CA ON SUNDAY RESULTING IN ANOTHER WARMING TREND ACROSS OUR
AREA AS HEIGHTS AND THICKNESSES RISE THROUGH TUESDAY. IN FACT BY

AND KERN COUNTY DESERTS WILL EXCEED THE CENTURY MARK.

THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE THE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN BY
WEDNESDAY AS A LARGE UPPER LOW DROPS OUT OF THE GULF OF AK. THIS
SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN A DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN
CONUS BY THE END OF THE WEEK...BUT DIFFERENCES EXIST IN THE
STRENGTH AND POSITION OF THE UPPER LOW CENTER. HEIGHT AND
THICKNESS FALLS SUGGEST TEMPERATURES WILL LOWER TO SEASONAL
NORMALS BY THE END OF THE NEXT WEEK. RH PROGS INDICATE OUR AREA
