All:
Short Term…Blocking pattern begins to break down today as an upper level trough nears the Calif. Coast. Temps will drop down closer to or below normal by Saturday. Increasing moisture associated with that trough will bring a chance of showers and T-Storm activity to the High Country and the Upper Elevations by Saturday night. There will be partly cloudy skies today with daytime temps in the Valley in the mid 80s and evening temps in the mid 40s. Saturday it will be partly cloudy with highs in the upper 70s and lows in the low 40s. The High Country will have partly cloudy skies and afternoon temps in the mid 70s dropping down to the low 70s on Saturday. Gusty winds to 40 mph can be expected in the High Country on Saturday night.
Long Term…Sunday through Wednesday, the upper level trough deepens with a chance of T-storms and light snow, mostly in the upper elevations continuing through Wednesday. Local gusty winds to 45 mph can be expected over the Crest and through the passes on Sunday. Dramatically cooler weather will be on order each day through Wednesday with max temps running 5 to 10 degrees below normal in all areas.
