DISCUSSION
AN EARLY SEASON HEATWAVE WILL MAKE IT FEEL MORE LIKE MID-JULY THAN
LATE MAY AS DAYTIME HIGHS REACH THE 80S AND 90S THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THE HOTTEST DAYS WILL BE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, RESULTING
IN WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO LOCALLY MAJOR HEATRISK. NEEDLESS TO SAY,
BE SURE TO STAY HYDRATED, LIMIT TIME IN THE HEAT, AND WEAR LIGHT-
COLORED CLOTHING. ALSO, AVOID JUMPING INTO REGIONAL CREEKS AND
STREAMS WHICH WILL BE RUNNING FAST AND COLD.
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT FINALLY DISLODGES OVER THE WEEKEND AND ALLOWS
TROUGHING TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE WESTERN STATES. THIS WILL GIVE US
A REPRIEVE FROM THE HEAT AS TEMPERATURES FALL BACK TOWARDS
SEASONAL AVERAGES, BUT ALSO PROMOTES WINDIER CONDITIONS THIS
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AS A RESULT, WIND IMPACTS TO TRAVEL
AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES ARE BECOMING MORE LIKELY, AS WELL AS
PERIODS OF ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS (MORE
DETAILS IN THE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION BELOW). INCREASED CHANCES
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

AVIATION
WIDESPREAD VFR CONDITIONS AND BREEZY AFTERNOON WINDS WILL PREVAIL
TODAY WITH LIGHTER WINDS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. ABNORMALLY HOT
WEATHER MAY INDUCE DENSITY ALTITUDE ISSUES THROUGH SATURDAY.
-SALAS
FIRE WEATHER
UNSEASONABLY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN JULY-LIKE HEAT
AND VERY DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WINDS WILL REMAIN
LIGHT UNTIL SATURDAY WHEN A RIDGE BREAKDOWN ALLOWS FOR GUSTY WINDS
THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AS THIS PATTERN EVOLVES, THERE
APPEARS TO BE A 2-3 DAY OVERLAP OF RESIDUAL HOT, DRY WEATHER AND
INCREASING WINDS SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY BEFORE COOLER, MORE HUMID
CONDITIONS ARRIVE. AS SUCH, PERIODS OF ELEVATED TO CRITICAL
CONDITIONS ARE BECOMING MORE LIKELY EACH AFTERNOON FROM SATURDAY
TO MONDAY ACROSS LOWER ELEVATIONS. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES REMAIN LOW
DURING THIS TIME FRAME, BUT DO INCREASE TO 10-15% THIS WEEKEND.
