Area Forecast Discussion

...UPDATED AIR QUALITY SECTION...

.SYNOPSIS...
Cool, near seasonal highs are expected to occur for the
next seven days. A disturbance will pass through the area on 
Monday, which could provide the Sierra Nevada with a slight chance
of precipitation. Otherwise, expect the rest of Central 
California to remain dry for the next seven days.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Some patchy fog formed earlier this morning in the valley portion
of Kern County, and mixed out by late morning. In the northern 
portion of the San Joaquin Valley, a stream of high clouds is 
currently passing through and will continue to do so for the rest 
of the day, eventually getting the central and south valley 
tonight. In terms of fog tonight, the latest HRRR isn't showing 
much fog -- perhaps the incoming upper cloud cover will help avoid
a fog event. Anyways, expect near normal temperatures today, 
meaning highs in the mid 60s. Afternoon highs are expected to drop
in the low 60s as a couple of embedded disturbances pass through
the region this weekend. Highs in the low 60s are a couple 
degrees below average. Morning lows by Saturday will be on the 
cool side, likely in the low to mid 30s. 

By late Sunday/early Monday, an upper level low will approach the
forecast area. This low is likely to be moisture-starved, but
could trigger a shower or two over the Sierra Nevada by Monday
afternoon. Weak upper ridging is forecast by Tuesday and 
Wednesday, but it won't be enough to move the temperature forecast
much. Expect low 60s for afternoon highs to continue next week,
including Thanksgiving Day. Dry weather is likely to continue for
most of the forecast area in the foreseeable future.
