DISCUSSION
TODAY WAS YET ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY. THE KIND OF DAY WHERE THE
WINDOWS CAN GET LEFT OPEN ALMOST ALL DAY AND EVERYONE WILL BE
HAPPY. THIS FORECASTER CERTAINLY WAS. WHAT'S EXCITING IS THAT
TUESDAY LOOKS TO BE ANOTHER REPEAT OF TODAY. MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES ARE RIGHT ABOUT NORMAL, WHICH IS TO SAY THE LOW
90S. IN FACT, THE CENTRAL VALLEY HAS A 40-50% CHANCE OF
TEMPERATURES EXCEEDING 93 DEGREES. TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED
TO EXCEED 94 DEGREES, AS THE PROBABILITY DROPS TO 20-40%,
MAINLY FOLLOWING ALONG THE I-5. DARE I SAY, THIS WILL BE PERFECT
WEATHER TO ENJOY A COFFEE ON THE PATIO.
COME THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, THE CWA WILL SEE TEMPERATURES FALL
BELOW NORMAL BY A FEW DEGREES. WE'RE BACK TO THE 80S! THERE'S
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE ENSEMBLE MODELS THAT A TROUGH WILL BE
DIPPING INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS'LL BRING TEMPERATURES
DOWN AND TO THE MID TO HIGH 80S, WHICH IS ABOUT 5 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL. THE COOLEST DAY THIS WEEK IS ON TRACK TO BE THURSDAY, AS
THERE IS ONLY A 10-15% FOR THE CENTRAL VALLEY TO GREATER THAN 90
DEGREES. AS THE TROUGH MOVES IN, IT WILL BRING SOME ISOLATED GUSTY
(UP 35 MPH) CONDITIONS TOWARDS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA.
AS SUCH, A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT WEDNESDAY
EVENING INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. THE USUAL PROBLEM SPOTS TOO, WILL
BE GUSTY, BUT NOT EXCEEDING ADVISORY LEVELS.
TO ROUND OUT THIS WEEK, THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF RIDGING IS
EXPECTED. THE WEEKEND WILL BE A BIT WARMER, BUT NOTHING TOO HOT
FOR THE THE END OF SEPTEMBER. SATURDAY, TEMPERATURES WILL STAY
BELOW 95 DEGREES, AS THERE'S A 10-20% CHANCE FOR THE VALLEY TO
EXCEED THAT THRESHOLD, SAVE FOR A FEW SPOTS ALONG THE I-5 AND UP
NEAR LOS BANOS/SAN LUIS RESERVOIR. SUNDAY, HOWEVER, LOOKS TO BE
THE WARMEST DAY. THERE'S A 40-50% CHANCE FOR TEMPERATURES TO
EXCEED 95 DEGREES ON SUNDAY. EVEN THOUGH THAT'S A BIT WARMER
THAN THE LOW 90S, THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER HAS MOST OF
CALIFORNIA IN A NEAR NORMAL FOR TEMPERATURES IN THEIR 6-10 DAY
OUTLOOK AND AGAIN IN THEIR 8-10 DAY OUTLOOK.
