  .SYNOPSIS...Hot and dry weather will prevail over the central  
  California interior today. Sunday and Monday will trend much  
  cooler with gusty winds across the region on Sunday. The rest of  
  next week will be dry with temperatures recovering to near normal  
  by midweek.

  .DISCUSSION...IR imagery indicating mainly clear skies across our 
  area overnight as high pressure strengthens over our region for  
  one day. Rises in heights and thicknesses will result in maximum  
  temperatures between 104 and 107 DEG F across much of the San 
  Joaquin Valley and Kern County Deserts today as well as triple  
  digit heat for the Sierra foothills. A Heat Advisory remains in  
  effect for the San Joaquin Valley and Sierra foothills until 800 
  pm this evening.  
   
  A big change is expected on Sunday and Monday as an upper low  
  pressure system pushes through the PAC NW and forces the upper  
  ridge that has been responsible for the widespread triple digit  
  heat over the San Joaquin Valley and Kern County Deserts  
  retrogrades westward and an upper trough deepens over CA and a 
  strong cold front pushes through the area on Sunday afternoon. As 
  the front approaches the area this afternoon and evening, a surge 
  of marine cooled air will push into the West Side Hills and bring 
  a period of increased winds and patchy blowing dust this evening  
  through Sunday morning. A Wind Advisory has been issued for the 
  West Side Hills from late this afternoon through Sunday morning.  
  Increased winds and blowing dust are also possible along the  
  ridges in the Kern County Mountains from Tehachapi northward and  
  in the Kern County Deserts Sunday afternoon and evening as the  
  cold front moves through. Besides the increased winds, the main  
  impact from this system will be much cooler temperatures. In  
  fact, temperatures are expected to drop to below normal levels by  
  Sunday and cool even further across much of our area on Monday  
  with afternoon highs expected to be 8 to 10 DEG F below normal.  
  The proximity of the upper trough will provide for enough  
  instability for a slight chance of showers across the higher  
  elevations of the Sierra Monday afternoon.  
   
  The trough is progged to move east of the region on Tuesday and  
  Wednesday with a dry northwest flow prevailing over central CA.  
  Temperatures will rebound to seasonal normals by Wednesday and  
  trend slightly above normal for the latter portion of next week  
  the medium range models are in fairly good agreement with a dry  
  southwest flow prevailing over our area as we remain situated in  
  between a strong ridge over the central CONUS and an upper trough 
  off the PAC NW coast.
