.DISCUSSION...
Cooler and windy conditions are expected to continue as an
upper level disturbance drops into Northern California on
Tuesday. The associated surface cold front is already crossing
into Northern California this evening and expected south of
Central California by Tuesday afternoon. With this timing, will
see additional cooling on Tuesday along with strong winds over
the higher terrain of the region. Probability of Exceedance
(PoE) of reaching 85F-deg for the period from Tuesday through
Thursday is below 10 percent. This will lead toward afternoon
highs in the lower to mid 80s for the next several days. By
Friday, PoE of reaching 85F-deg does go up to 15 to 25 percent
as temperatures start a warming trend. While slow, the PoE of
reaching 95F-deg does not reach significant percentages until
the middle of next week.

With a significant onshore push of cooler air, enough of a
gradient will exist to generate strong winds over the Coastal
Range. By Tuesday, a Closed Low will position itself over the
Northern Sierra Nevada just north of Interstate-5. This position
of the upper low will support a more significant gradient over
Central California as strong winds develop over the higher
terrain of the Sierra Nevada, Tehachapi and Coastal Range. This
set-up will lead to cooling temperatures and locally strong
winds across Central California. Currently, the PoE of reaching
45 MPH will sit at 50 to 70 percent by Tuesday and mostly over
the Kern County Mountains. A Wind Advisory is in place for the
Eastern Portions of the Kern County Mountains, the Mojave
Slopes, as strong winds are expected toward the mid-week period.

The increased west wind will provide enough lift for the
continuation of afternoon convection across the higher terrain
of the Sierra Nevada on Tuesday. Ensembles keep measurable
precipitation near the Crest and taper percentages to near zero
over areas below 5,000 feet. Thunderstorm probabilities show
similar values over similar locations to that of measurable
precipitation.

While temperatures area still warm during this Holiday weekend,
water ways will be running cold. Exercise caution around lakes,
rivers, and streams as even the most experienced swimmers can
lose dexterity in cold water.
