After the unsettled pattern of the last 48 hours, we now find ourselves heading into a pattern which is fairly typical of early to mid summer. The low responsible for the active weather of two days ago opened up into a trough and is now over Montana. Upper level high pressure centered over Texas will move to a position over the Four Corners region and will eventually link up with another high off the southern California coast. The balloon sounding above Oakland pegged the freezing level at 15,000 feet. Down the coast, the marine layer at Monterey was at 1,200 feet, also fairly typical of summer and not deep enough to affect the valley. Over the weekend, the high will be directly overhead, resulting in several days of triple digits. The flow aloft will remain out of the southwest which will end any chance of monsoon moisture moving into central California. Models do show enough instability over the Sierra Nevada for a chance of isolated thunderstorms afternoons and evenings over the back country from Tulare County north. The high will begin to flatten out about Thursday of next week. this will allow temperatures to come down as the marine layer deepens and moves through the Delta. Temperatures should lower into the mid to upper 90s beginning Friday and lasting through next weekend.
Forecast: Mostly clear and hot through next Thursday. Mostly clear and somewhat cooler Thursday night and Friday.

Two Week Outlook: June 30 through July 6 This model is indicating a trough of low pressure will be more dominant over the eastern Pacific and the western US. A west to southwest flow aloft will be dominant, maintaining dry weather with below average temperatures.
June: This model shows a high center over New Mexico and Texas extending into California for marginally above average temperatures for the month with the usual dary conditions prevailing.
June, July, August: This model is hinting at a possible active monsoon season this year once we get into July and August. It’s possible we could see more than the usual amount of afternoon and evening thunderstorms over the Sierra Nevada but the valley will be typically dry with above average temperatures.
Wind Discussion: Winds during the afternoons and evenings will be mainly out of the northwest at 5 to 12 mph through Monday. Winds during the night and morning hours will be variable to no more than 10 mph.
Rain: Expect dry conditions for the next 7 to 10 days.
Frost: All locations will be above freezing tonight and each night for the foreseeable future.
