.DISCUSSION...

.SYNOPSIS...
Isolated shower/thunderstorm chances over higher terrain persist
today and Tuesday primarily north of Interstate 80 as the split
flow regime aloft begins to deteriorate. Broad zonal flow is then
expected to set up across interior NorCal through the remainder of
the week, with troughing arriving into next weekend. As a result,
an overall stagnating weather pattern of predominantly dry
weather, near normal temperatures, and breezy onshore flow looks
to persist.
