228 AGUS76 KRSA 041333 HMDRSA Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 635 AM PDT Tue Jun 4 2024 ...WARM TO HOT TEMPS TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY... ...SCATTERED CONVECTION POSSIBLE FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (TUE AM - MON AM)... The s/wv trof moving across the Pacific Northwest with the associated cold front moving across northern CA and northern NV has moved off toward the east...shifting from the Rocky Mountain states to the Great Plains states this morning. And now...the heat begins to build across the region as high pressure from the southwest moves overhead and strengthens. Temperatures will ramp up and peak either Wednesday or Thursday generally in the plus 10- to plus 20-degF over seasonal norms. This is expected to be the warmest/hottest airmass so far this year. By the end of the week...the upr ridge axis gets displaced a tad downstream of the area as a s/wv trof makes its way across the northeast Pacific and weakens as it moves closer to BC and the Pacific Northwest. This will help temper the heat a bit for the upcoming weekend...but still expect above normal afternoon high temperatures. Also...there may be enough moisture and instability to generate some afternoon/early evening showers and thunderstorms from Thursday through the weekend primarily over the crest of the Sierra and the higher terrain near the CA/OR border and northern NV.
