.DISCUSSION...
Today and tomorrow will be the coolest days of the week as
the trough is now over the area. However, we are looking at
a 10 to 30 percent chance of thunderstorms today due to the
instability. In the Valley, we are seeing a 20 to 50 percent
chance of rain with Merced and Mariposa having a 30 to 40
percent chance of a tenth of an inch of rain today. There is a 5
to 15 percent chance of thunderstorms in the Valley mainly north
of Fresno. Smoke from the Garnet Fire will continue to linger
but will not be as thick thanks to improving humidity and the
evolving pattern.
The trough moves out Friday as a ridge moves in bringing a
slight warmup. Another trough slides in Sunday into Monday
bringing a slight cooldown. Temperatures will rebound next week
as a stronger ridge moves in and strengthens beginning on
Tuesday.
