KEY MESSAGES
- Above-normal temperatures today with isolated mountain showers and thunderstorms.
- Cooling trend through the weekend and into early next week.
- Increased onshore flow through the holiday weekend, combined with low daytime RHs, will lead to elevated fire weather conditions in the Valley.
- Winds switch, becoming gusty and out of the north around Tuesday, with continued elevated fire weather conditions.
..Sunday to Thursday
Similar conditions are forecast for the region on Sunday with breezy onshore west/southwest winds as weak troughing develops along the California coast. This will maintain the elevated fire weather concerns through Sunday and into the holiday on Monday. From Monday to Tuesday, an upper-level low will dive south from the Gulf of Alaska toward the Pacific Northwest, then push inland over Oregon by late Tuesday. While the exact details on the low's trajectory are still to be determined, this pattern setup would result in offshore northerly winds for NorCal, as well as fire weather concerns. Depending on how much moisture accompanies the low, can't rule out the chance of some mountain convection, as well. // Rowe
