gradient strengthens and deep mixing occurs. Isolated thunderstorm
activity is expected across the northern mountains this afternoon,
tonight and Friday afternoon. Another system drops over the area
from the north from late Saturday afternoon through Monday
bringing cooler temperatures and a better chance for precipitation
across the northern and central mountains. Hot and drier
conditions return Tuesday and Wednesday.
