AS OUR COOL SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SHIFTS FURTHER TO THE

BEFORE STIFLING SUMMER HEAT RE-EMERGES. IN BETWEEN WILL BE A
CHANCE OF RAIN/STORMS HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. NAEFS-ESAT
INDICATES PW'S INCREASING TO 2" WITH 2-5 YEAR RETURN INTERVALS,
SUGGESTING LOCALLY HEAVY/EFFICIENT DOWNPOURS WILL BE THE MAIN
STORM THREAT FOR PEAK POP TIMES LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
THE STRONG WESTERN U.S. UPPER RIDGE PATTERN BECOMES MORE OF AN
INFLUENCE UPON OUR SENSIBLE WEATHER NEXT WEEK, RETURNING HIGHS
AOA 90F FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE WEEK. MAX HIGH PRESSURE
INFLUENCE HERE IS EARLY IN THE WEEK, WITH HIGHS IN THE MID-UPPER
90S AND HI'S 100-110F. A SUBTLE RETROGRADE OF THE HIGH AS THE
