| ***Rapid transition to summer-like weather this week.*** The effects of a relatively weak low pressure trough will be felt over the Geographic Area through Monday with overall cooler temps and higher to somewhat higher RH. A high pressure ridge will rapidly strengthen over the region beginning Tuesday for a strong warming and drying trend that will eventually bring about unseasonably warm temps and very dry conditions later in the week. Temperatures will see a meteoric rise after Monday, and by Thursday, the warmest valley locations will be into the 90s and possibly at 100 or just above in the Northern Sacramento Valley. In the mean time, another weather element of interest will be fairly strong westerly winds that will develop this afternoon with speeds generally in a range of 5-17 mph with gusts 20-35 mph. Winds will become more northerly but lighter Monday into Wednesday, but it appears rather likely that Wednesday night and Thursday morning some rather strong (8-20 mph, gusts 30-35 mph) N to E winds will occur near and west of the Cascade/Sierra crest. This could bring about some downslope heating conditions that would possibly add a few degrees to the already very warm airmass that will be in place by then. B.Belongie | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Range Westward:
Unseasonably warm temperatures and low RH starting Wednesday into the weekend. Look also for some Northerly to easterly winds to help with the warming and drying conditions Wednesday night into Friday. Sacramento Valley and surrounding foothills: Unseasonably warm temperatures and low RH starting Wednesday into the weekend. Look also for some Northerly to easterly winds to help with the warming and drying conditions Wednesday night into Friday. Cascade-Sierra Nevada from 3500’ to Crest, NE California and NW Nevada: Unseasonably warm temperatures and low RH starting Wednesday into the weekend.
