UPDATE
UPDATED AVIATION SECTION.
KEY MESSAGES
1. LAKE WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY FOR WEST SIDE
COASTAL MOUNTAINS NORTH OF 198 AND SAN LUIS RESERVOIR.
2. DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS CREATE ELEVATED FIRE RISK THIS
WEEK, ESPECIALLY IN THE MOJAVE DESERT.
3. NEAR-NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA.
4. PRACTICE SAFETY AROUND LAKES, RIVERS AND STREAMS, AS WATER
IS STILL RUNNING COLD.
DISCUSSION
SLIGHT TROUGHING ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE REGION FOR THE REMINDER OF THE
WORKWEEK. THIS TROUGH WILL ALSO CAUSE INCREASED WINDS AT THE SAN
LUIS RESERVOIR THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING, THOUGH MAINLY IN THE
LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY EVENING AND CALMER WINDS OVERNIGHT.
A LAKE WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THAT AREA DURING THAT
TIME PERIOD.
THE TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN BY SATURDAY, LEADING TO A
SLIGHT WARM-UP THAT WILL BRING TEMPERATURES BACK TO AROUND
NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, WHICH WILL REMAIN STEADY INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL MAINLY BE DUE TO INCREASED 500MB
HEIGHTS OVER CENTRAL CALIFORNIA, AS THE RIDGE THAT MAY DEVELOP
IS CURRENTLY MODELED TO SET UP OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION.
LOOKING INTO THE LONG TERM, THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER HAS
OUR CWA IN THE LEANING ABOVE NORMAL CATEGORY FOR TEMPERATURES IN
BOTH THE 6 TO 10 AND 8 TO 14 DAY OUTLOOKS, SO EVEN WARMER
TEMPERATURES MAY BE IN STORE FOR THE VALLEY DURING THOSE TIME
PERIODS.
