KEY MESSAGES

* Seasonal temperatures with low shower and storm chances this week.

* Periods of increased breezes may pose minor fire and recreation impacts in the afternoons.

* A warming trend is favored for the holiday weekend with potential for thunderstorms in the Sierra.

DISCUSSION

Today will feature fewer clouds and shower chances than yesterday, and still, a less than 5% chance for showers lingers over the Sierra. We will see a warmup of a few degrees across the region, but the mild seasonal airmass under a general troughing pattern will keep temperatures in check. Breezy afternoons will be part of the pattern this week, with a slight uptick in breezes for today and Thursday. We could see a few showers over the Sierra each afternoon as the chances remain under 10% all through the week.

As the trough pattern shifts late week, heat will once again build back in over the holiday weekend. As such, a return to Minor with isolated moderate HeatRisk will emerge into the weekend. With recent dry conditions and afternoon breezes, it is advised to avoid any activity that may cause a spark. Additionally, if you have plans to be outdoors this weekend, particularly in the Sierra, make sure to check your forecast for the latest updates and keep an eye to the sky since there will be a nonzero chance for showers and storms each day.
