.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH TODAY
ALTHOUGH MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE INCREASING. A BREAK DOWN IN
THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS EXPECTED SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH A COLD
FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. THIS FRONT WILL SPARK SOME
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT
SHOWERS WILL BE HIT OR MISS AND ARE NOT LIKELY TO PRODUCE WETTING
RAINS. EXPECT GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS TO PICK UP THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON WITH THE FRONT AS WELL. MORE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES AND
HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED BY MONDAY AS THE MAIN TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE PUSHES IN OFF OF THE PACIFIC. THIS TROUGH WILL BRING A
BETTER CHANCE FOR WETTING RAINS ON MONDAY. SEASONAL TEMPERATURES
WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR MOUNTAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
NEXT WEEK.
