AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE OFF SHORE FOR THE WEEKEND AND THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK, ALLOWING FOR A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW. THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR US AS THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST. ALONG WITH THIS, THERE WILL BE AN ON-GOING THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE HIGH COUNTRY, PARTICULARLY IN MONO COUNTY, THROUGH SUNDAY WITH THAT THREAT DROPPING OFF AS NEXT WEEK PROGRESSES. BY NEXT WEEKEND, A LARGE RIDGE IS PROGGED TO ESTABLISH ITSELF OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND THIS COULD RAISE TEMPERATURES BACK TO ABOVE NORMAL.
