.DISCUSSION...
The service area will remain sandwiched between cyclonic flow
aloft over the Eastern Pacific Ocean and anticyclonic flow aloft
over the Great Basin today through Friday. A trough of low
pressure will progress eastward over the Eastern Pacific Ocean
Friday night. This trough of low pressure should pass eastward
over Northern California Saturday. The trough of low pressure will
have little to no impact on the local weather. A warming trend is
anticipated today through Saturday. Maximum temperatures this
afternoon will be two to four degrees warmer than yesterday
afternoon. High temperatures Friday afternoon will be three to
five degrees warmer than this afternoon. By Saturday afternoon,
maximum temperatures will be near their typical values for the
first half of July.
An anticyclone aloft over the Central United States will
retrograde westward late this weekend into early next week. By
Wednesday afternoon, this upper-level area of high pressure will
be centered near the Four Corners region. Monsoonal moisture may
move northward along the periphery of this anticyclone aloft into
the Sierra Nevada Wednesday afternoon, resulting in the
possibility of a few thunderstorms. Triple digit heat could return
to parts of the San Joaquin Valley Sunday afternoon. Widespread
triple digit heat is anticipated in the San Joaquin Valley Monday
afternoon. Triple digit heat is likely in most of the San Joaquin
Valley Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon. Here are
