HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE OUR WEATHER PATTERN GIVING US SIMILAR TEMPERATURES TODAY AS YESTERDAY. THERE WILL BE CONTINUED SUNNY WARM DAYS AND CLEAR NIGHTS FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT FEW DAYS. MID LEVEL WINDS HAVE SHIFTED TO A MORE WESTERLY FLOW, KEEPING THE MAJORITY OF THE SMOKE FROM THE ZACA FIRE TO OUR SOUTH. THIS SMOKE WILL RESIDE IN LAYERS BETWEEN 8,000 AND 15,000 FEET.

A FEATURE THAT BEARS WATCHING IS SOME MODELS ARE NOW SHOWING AN EASTERLY WAVE CONTAINING MOISTURE FROM HURRICANE DEAN MAKING ITS WAY WEST LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THIS MAY SPREAD LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER PARTS OF OUR AREA. WE WILL CERTAINLY HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE ON THIS.
