  the region through Thursday. Dry weather is expected Friday

  several degrees below normal through Friday then warming up to  
  near normal this weekend.

  .DISCUSSION... 
  A digging cold trough of low pressure has pushed a surface cold  
  front through the region. Precipitation has been generally light 
  across the CENCAL interior. Cyclonic flow across the region will  
  keep the chances of showers today and tomorrow. Scattered  
  thunderstorms are expected today as an upper level impulse moves  
  through the region. Small hail, locally heavy rain and possible  
  cold air funnel clouds will be the threat today. Snow levels will  
  drop very quickly as the colder air moves in. There is limited  
  moisture with the system and unfortunately we will not see heavy  
  snow amounts, even in the higher elevations. We have a winter  
  weather advisory in effect for the Sierra.  
   
  With cold air moving in over the area tonight we will see lows in 
  the mid to upper 30s tonight and tomorrow night in the SJV.  
  Showers will once again develop on Thursday as the upper trough  
  kicks east. Weak ridging is expected for Friday with dry  
  conditions. Models are still not in agreement with the strength  
  of another trough forecast to move into the region on Sunday.  
  Forecast confidence is low for the extended period with this  
  system. The system will move east and the EPAC ridge will build in 
  over the area with a warming trend in store early next week with  
  significantly above normal temperatures.
