.DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
Isolated shower/thunderstorm chances over Shasta County terrain
continue today as a progressive shortwave ejects eastward late
today. Broad zonal flow is then expected to set up across interior
NorCal through the remainder of the week, until troughing arrives
by the weekend. As a result, an overall stagnating weather
pattern of predominantly dry weather, near normal temperatures,
and breezy onshore flow looks to persist.
