.DISCUSSION...
Latest satellite imagery shows the trough that brought cooler
temperatures and gusty winds on Sunday has begun to lift and
move off east. The lifting trough sets up a warm up for Monday
with a Rex Block off the coast and a big ridge over the South.
The warm up will continue through Tuesday when there is a 75 to
90 percent chance of highs of at least 90 degrees on Tuesday.

However, ensembles have shifted as another trough slides in on
Wednesday into Thursday dropping temperatures down again.
Wednesday and Friday have a 25 to 45 percent chance of highs of
at least 90 degrees but a 80 to 90 percent chance of highs below
90 on Thursday. The ensembles also have less than a 20 percent
chance of max gusts of 25 mph with this trough and the
precipitation chances near zero. Other than the Mojave Slopes
has a 75 percent chance of 35 mph gusts on Tuesday and Wednesday
before decreasing, strong winds are not widely expected with the
trough over the Mojave Desert. Temperatures rebound next weekend
with a 60 to 80 percent chance of highs back in the 90s in the
Valley. The CPC continue to favor above average temperatures
with a 40 to 50 percent chance in the 6-10 day and 33 to 40
percent chance in the 8-14 day outlook. However, the outlooks
still have a 40 to 50 percent chance of above average
precipitation.
