SMOKE FROM THE STATION WILDFIRE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL CONTINUE TO EFFECT OUR AREA TODAY AND TOMORROW, AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE OUR AREA. WITH THIS, A WEAK DISTRURBANCE WILL PASS THROUGH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TODAY KICKING UP THE WINDS IN OUR FORAECAST AREA. LATE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, A MOISTURE SURGE FROM HURRICANE JIMENA, DOWN BY CABO, COULD GIVE OUR AREA A SHOT AT SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTION AND SHOWER ACTIVITY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN PREVAILS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, WITH A TROUGH PUSHING THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF DROPPING TEMPERATURES THROUGH OUR OUR AREA OVER THE WEEKEND.
