NICE CLEAR BLUE SKIES WITH LIGHT WINDS ARE IN STORE FOR US AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO CALIFORNIA. TEMPS TO RAISE JUST A BIT EACH DAY THROUGH FRIDAY. ITS POSSIBLE BY FRIDAY THAT SOME WEAK INSTABILITY WILL RETURN TO THE MOUNTAINS, SO I HAVE INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AFTERNOON T-STORMS FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY STARTING ON FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THIS PANS OUT. OTHERWISE, HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE VALLEYS AND THE HIGH COUNTRY UNTIL FRIDAY WITH SLIGHT COOLING OVER THE WEEKEND.
