DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ITS WAY OVER CENTRAL AND WESTERN
PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE WEST TODAY AND FRIDAY, WHERE
SUB-15% HUMIDITIES ARE FORECAST. SCATTERED TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND FRIDAY WILL FAVOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN
EASTWARD, WITH SPOTTIER AND DRIER ACTIVITY FARTHER WEST. GULF
MOISTURE WILL INCREASE THIS WEEKEND THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT
WEEK WITH DAILY ROUNDS OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS, AND A DAILY RISK OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL MAINLY
ALONG AND EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. EACH NIGHT THIS WEEKEND,
AND POTENTIALLY TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, GAP WINDS WILL
DEVELOP BELOW CANYONS OPENING INTO THE CENTRAL VALLEY FROM THE EAST
WITH GUSTS GENERALLY IN THE 25-40 MPH RANGE, AND POTENTIALLY STRONGER
AT TIMES.
