.DISCUSSION...
Satellite loops show mainly sunny skies prevailing across the
central California interior this afternoon with just a few high
clouds passing through. 24 hour trends indicate temperatures
are running around 3 to 7 degrees warmer, due to an amplifying
ridge of high pressure over the west. Maximum temperatures are
forecast to top out in the middle to upper 80s across the San
Joaquin Valley this afternoon. This is around 10 to 15 degrees
above average for this time of the year but not at record level
as the record highs for today are in the 90s. The ridge shifts
farther east on Friday as an eastern Pacific trough approaches
the coast. Slight cooling will occur but high temps will still
be around 8 to 12 degrees above average. The trough will move
inland on Saturday lowering max temperatures to around 5 to 10
degrees above average this weekend.

Model ensembles favor an upper low off the southern California
coast early next week. There is limited moisture available but
enough to warrant a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms
across the Sierra Nevada on Tuesday afternoon.
