.DISCUSSION...
A strong area of high pressure continues to dominate the weather
across Central California. This will allow the heat wave over the
area to continue into early next week. In addition to the heat,
a weak influx of monsoon moisture will bring a chance for
thunderstorms activity over the Tehachapi Range on Sunday. While
winds will remain light and terrain driven, strong and erratic
winds will be observed near thunderstorms.
