A few afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms occurred in the Sierra yesterday, and we are expecting the same for the next few days.

We currently have an excessive heat watch out for the desert area from Saturday through Monday evening. We will be looking at possible heat statements for the weekend for the SJV based on new data. High pressure center moving into the Great Basin will cause temperatures to continue to rise to critical levels across the region in the lower elevations through Monday. Models are consistent with bringing a trough through the region Tuesday that will drop regional temperatures several degrees by Wednesday and keep most of the lower elevations below the century mark, however temperatures will slowly start rising again above triple digits on Thursday and continue into Friday. && .AVIATION...
