.DISCUSSION...

...Remainder of Tuesday and evening...
The upper level trough in the area will continue to bring some
lift and instability to the area. Expect scattered showers and
thunderstorms through this evening. Instability isn`t too bad, up
to around 400 J/Kg so some isoalted stronger cells with heavy rain
will be possibly this evening over the Sierra.

This trough moves out of the area tonight with upper level high
pressure building into the area Wednesday through Saturday. This
will bring warm amd mild conditions with high temperatures in the
80s.

Confidence in location and timing of the next system remains.
Ensemble means have been trending to take the upper system more
off shore which would mean less clouds and precipitation. Upper
diffluence and forcing from this system would possibly bring
chance of mountains showers later on Saturday but perhaps as late
as Sunday. Still a fair amount of uncertainity at this time. This
pattern would also put the valley at risk of showers and
thunderstorms depending where it sets up. Stay tuned to updates
but overall this doesn`t appear to be very impactful system either
way.

.AVIATION...

generally 10 kts or less. Local MVFR conditions from scattered
