.DISCUSSION...
Clear and dry tonight and Saturday ahead of a disturbance that will
gradually push southward on Sunday and Monday of next week. This will
cause a quick dip in temperatures around five degrees below seasonal
averages before returning near seasonal starting Tuesday.
Light and diurnal winds at the start of the weekend will see an increase
going into Sunday as the disturbance pushes inland and through the
region. Additionally, with the early week disturbance there is a chance
for precipitation along high elevations of the Sierra Nevada on Monday
(45-60%) with a low chance of thunderstorms (10-15%). Minor change in
humidity with an increase going into Monday as moisture will give the
area a chance for precipitation.
