MONDAY, 08-JUN-09, MORNING REPORT

A LONG WAVE TROUGH PATTERN TO CONTINUE OVER THE WESTERN USA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL (SOME 10 DEGREES) WITH ENOUGH WEAK INSTABILITY TO GIVE US A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS EACH AFTERNOON. RIGHT NOW IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WINDS WILL BE MUCH OF AN ISSUE THIS WEEK. ALL IN ALL PRETTY PLEASANT, BUT UNUSAL, WEATHER FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
