KEY MESSAGES
* DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AS HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE AREA.
* A SLOW, GRADUAL WARMING TREND INTO THIS WEEKEND WILL BRING ABOVE
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES BY SATURDAY.
* A WEAK SYSTEM ON SUNDAY MAY BRING BREEZY WINDS AND PRECIP
CHANCES TO NE CA AND N NV, BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW.
DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE IS SET TO MOVE IN AGAIN AND KEEP US DRY AND MOSTLY
SUNNY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES INCREASE TO NEAR 60 IN
LOWER VALLEYS AND UPWARDS OF 55 IN SIERRA COMMUNITIES BY
SATURDAY. THIS WARM UP WILL BE AROUND 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR, BUT NOT QUITE RECORD-BREAKING. MORNINGS WILL
STILL BE PRETTY CHILLY, THOUGH. MORNING LOW TEMPS THIS WEEKEND
WILL BE AROUND 30-35 DEGREES FOR LOWER VALLEYS AND 25-30 DEGREES
FOR SIERRA VALLEYS.
THERE LOOKS TO BE ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSING THROUGH THIS
SUNDAY, AND WE'LL LIKELY BE ON THE SOUTHERN END OF THE PRECIP. THE
WAY THE LONG RANGE MODELS ARE PORTRAYING THIS SYSTEM IS THAT IT'S
JUST ONE OF THOSE BRUSH-BY STORMS WHERE ONLY NORTHERN LASSEN AND
SURPRISE VALLEY WILL SEE PRECIP CHANCES. THERE'S STILL A LOT OF
VARIABILITY IN THE MODELS STILL THIS FAR OUT, BUT THAT'S THE WAY
THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN TRENDING.
