DISCUSSION

(This evening through next Friday)

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: We are currently sitting under an upper level ridge centered over the Pacific, which will prevent us from seeing any active weather. As a result we will see high temperatures begin to slowly climb throughout the week, with highs in the upper 50s/low 60s. Overnight lows will remain in the mid to low 30s, with some spots in higher elevations seeing lows in the upper 20s. The northernmost portions of the forecast area may see elevated wind gusts, up to 15-25 mph, in the afternoons of Sunday and Monday due to the passage of a few embedded shortwave troughs.

Beginning next Saturday, model guidance suggests the passage of an upper level trough as well as a potential atmospheric river event. With this brings the possibility of rain and snow showers next weekend. Due to this event being so far out, there is low confidence on the occurrence of it as well as any associated impacts.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: There is high confidence in the ridge building throughout the week, bringing rising temperatures and calm weather. There is low confidence on the upper level trough next weekend and any impacts it may have.
