  .SYNOPSIS... 
  High temperatures through the middle of this week will be well  
  above normal for this time of year and will then lower closer to  
  average afterward. Dry weather will persist through at least the  
  next seven days.

  .DISCUSSION...A band of high clouds associated with an upper-level 
  disturbance, or shortwave trough, that is currently passing over  
  the Pacific Northwest into the Northern Rockies are moving over  
  northern California and will arrive over our region during the  
  next couple of hours. Expect modest cooling in terms of high  
  temperatures for today. Meanwhile, an upper-level area of low  
  pressure will continue to move over southern CA and northern Baja  
  and push further south by tonight as an upper-level ridge of high 
  pressure builds along the West Coast. The ridge will continue to  
  build on Monday before moving inland over CA on Tuesday. Thus, we 
  anticipate an upward trend in temperatures on Monday through  
  Tuesday. High temperatures will reach around 10 to 15 degrees  
  above average by Tuesday, and the warmest locations will once 
  again reach into the lower 80s. While the ridge gradually moves  
  further inland, little change in daytime highs will likely occur  
  on Wednesday. Hazy stagnant conditions will continue in the 
  Central Valley with relatively cool overnight lows until midweek. 
  High and mid-level cloud cover will begin to increase by late  
  Wednesday. 
   
  By Thursday, a weak trough of low pressure will allow temperatures 
  to begin to moderate, although highs will remain a few degrees 
  above average. Skies will remain partly to mostly cloudy, but no 
  precipitation is expected due to limited moisture. Temperatures  
  will continue to lower a little on Friday, or near seasonal  
  averages. Little change in weather and temperatures is likely for  
  next weekend, although it may warm back up a little as models  
  forecast another ridge of high pressure to build off the coast.  
  Overall, a dry forecast will continue for the next seven days with 
  some fluctuation in temperatures, especially daytime highs.
