A CONSENSUS SEEMS TO BE FORMING CONCERNING THE TROUBLESOME UPPER LOW
HANGING OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST THIS WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT
WEEK. THE UPPER LOW LOOKS TO WEAKEN/SHEAR OUT TUESDAY AS SOME OF THE
ENERGY IS PULLED EAST BY A SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST. WHAT IS LEFT BEHIND LOOKS QUITE WEAK...SO I DO NOT EXPECT
PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER...IT SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM WARMING
TOO DRAMATICALLY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH SOME WEAK EASTERLY FLOW
BELOW 500 MB.
THURSDAY...EXPECT A FEW DEGREES OF WARMING AS WESTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS
WITH THE WEAK TROUGHING EXITING THE REGION AHEAD OF FAST ZONAL FLOW
OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. FRIDAY...WESTERLY WINDS ARE PROGGED
INCREASE FURTHER AS THE SWIFT ZONAL FLOW OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
PUSHES FURTHER SOUTH AND DRIVES A COOL FRONT INTO SOUTHERN OREGON.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD THEN FALL A FEW DEGREES...MOSTLY OVER NORTHERN
ZONES...AS THE FRONT SQUEEZES INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA.
