Forecast is based on forecast start time of 0700 PDT on September 02.

.DISCUSSION...Above normal temperatures will continue through
Thursday. Low pressure offshore from central California will move
northeast into northern California on Tuesday with a surge of
moisture aloft into the area. This will result in isolated
coverage of thunderstorms late Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday
evening. With the trough north of the site on Wednesday, drier air
and weak ridging at the upper levels is expected to produce only
cumulus buildups late in the day. The approach of another trough
will bring another slight chance of late day thunderstorms on
Thursday.
