THIS COINCIDES WELL WITH SATELLITE SOUNDER LI IMAGERY SHOWING THE BEST INSTABILITY IN THESE AREAS. HOWEVER...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE ISOLATED TSTORMS FORMING OVER WESTERN SAN BERN AND SOUTHEAST INYO COUNTIES OVER THE NEXT HOUR AS INSTABILITY IS INCREASING THERE AS WELL. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO ROLL OFF THE MOUNTAINS AND AFFECT VALLEY LOCATIONS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE BECOMING WEST TO SOUTHWESTERLY FRIDAY. THIS TRANSITION MAY HELP SCOUR SOME OF THE MOISTURE OUT OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN NEVADA.

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FORECASTING A SHARP TROUGH APPROACHING THE PAC NW FRIDAY AND THEN INTO THE COAST ON SATURDAY.
