Storm Tracker forecast: A dry, windy weekend with rising temperatures | Weather

WHAT WE ARE PURSUING:

The departure of the low pressure system and the entry of the high pressure system will bring some gusty winds to the region. Breezes (periodic) will blow from the north, while winds from the east (down from the Sierra) will favor drying and further warming over the weekend and into early next week.

PLANNING YOUR NEXT 24 HOURS:

Hot, dry and sunny

EXTENDED FORECAST:

High pressure will continue to build and strengthen over the West Coast (of the United States) and temperatures will rise to near 100 degrees early in the work week. An area of ​​high pressure will prevail on Monday while there will be thunderstorms to the south and southeast. The interaction between the systems will bring wind to the area with gusts of 15-25 mph from the north. As the thunderstorms continue to move east, this will shift winds from the Sierra (east), with gusts (downward winds from the Sierra) and gusts from the east of 20-30 mph. Increased fire weather will be a concern early in the week as these strong winds combine with relative humidity between 13-19 percent (low). Storms developing in the Pacific (west) will put some pressure on the area of ​​high pressure and cause some weakening. This weakening will allow for cooler temperatures mid (to late) week, but this may not be enough to bring temperatures below average.
