FORECAST IS BASED ON REQUEST TIME OF 1123 PDT ON JULY 30.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...
A LITTLE MORE OF A WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED EARLIER TODAY
DUE TO A LITTLE MORE MARINE INFLUENCE ACROSS THE INCIDENT AREA.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY CLIMB TO ABOVE NORMAL VALUES IN THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK AS A RIDGE EXPANDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE
GREAT BASIN. NO THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY, BUT A LOW
PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO MOVE INLAND OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NEXT
SUNDAY. CONFIDENCE IS NOT VERY HIGH YET BUT THIS SET UP COULD LEAD
TO SOME THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.
