.DISCUSSION...
Another dry and unseasonably warm day across our CWFA today as
an upper ridge centered over over the Desert Southwest region
remains the predominant weather feature. A strong upper low off
the PAC NW coast is pulling a band of mid/high clouds across
Norcal. The clouds band extends southward to just north of our
CWFA with scattered to broken high clouds extending southward to
just north of Kern County. As the low pushes through the PAC NW
on Tuesday, a northerly flow will bring some cooler air into
our area with daytime temepratures expected to be 5 to 10 DEG F
cooler in the San Joaquin valley with less significant cooling
over the higher elevations. Temperatures will still be several
DEG F above climo.

SREF is showing another ridge builds inland into CA on Tuesday
night and Wednesday which will maintain dry conditions and
bring another warming trend to our area beginning on Wednesday
with daytime maximums expected to well above daily climatological
normals. The warm-up continues on Thursday with the ridge
shifting further inland and southerly flow increasing ahead of
an upper low off the Cencal coast. The PoE for 75 DEG F in the
San Joaquin Valley from Fresno southward on Thursday is between
75 and 90 percent. Ensemble means are taking the low on a more
southerly track and bring it inland across Socal on Friday. This
will result in increased clouds and a slight chance of mountain
showers Thursday night and Friday. Temperatures will remain
well above normal on Friday and on Saturday with shortwave
ridging prevailing.

A spilt trough is then progged to move through the area on Sunday
and Monday which will bring a chance of precipitation to the
area on both days as well as a cooling trend with temperatures
lowering to near daily climatological normals by Monday.
