401 AM PDT Fri May 10 2024
.DISCUSSION...A strong ridge of high pressure continues to
amplify, causing dry weather and warming temperatures through the
extended forecast. Winds have decreased significantly from the
past couple of days and will remain this way through the beginning
of the new week. Minimum RH values will remain mostly in the 20s
to 30s for interior regions, but a weak front may bring more
moisture to the area early next week. The warmest interior
valleys will reach the upper 80s with some low 90s today and into
the weekend. Similar temperatures look to redevelop next week.
