A trough deepens offshore of nrn CA and the PacNW this morning. This system will shift southeastward forming a cutoff low in the late afternoon/early evening. Expecting the low to head across the Bay Area overnight dipping into srn CA through early Monday afternoon before pushing inland through se CA and finally off into the Desert Southwest Tuesday evening. Expecting more widely scattered showers for most of today before some tropical moisture moves into far srn/se CA tonight/tomorrow. The system will pick up this moisture and make for better chances of more widespread shower activity across the Sierra, se CA, and srn NV Monday into Tuesday. Thunderstorms over these areas are a possibility as well. The low will also result in below normal temperatures for the next few days. As the low exits, high pressure looks to build in behind it from offshore. This should end any additional precip chances for the rest of the forecast period as well as raising temperatures. Afternoon high temperature anomalies are expected at +5 to +15 deg F through at least Friday. Please Note: This product may NOT be routinely updated.
