.DISCUSSION...

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:
NW upper flow over the area will give way to a building upper
ridge over the West into Saturday. This will give the area
generally dry conditions, but a nocturnal disturbance could drop
in across the northern zones the next couple nights.

An upper level low off the Pacific NW coast will then move in our
direction and tag up with some SW monsoonal moisture for the
chance of showers/storms that move northeast through the area
Saturday night and exit Sunday evening. Severe thunderstorms are
not expected but gusty winds could accompany them.

Strong winds could follow the front/trough for Sunday and Monday,
bringing some fire weather concerns but highlights are not
expected.

Ridge rebounds early next week in the wake of the departing
disturbance to bring dry conditions with temperatures slightly
above normal.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:
NBM followed for the forecast period. Confidence for timing of
precipitation chances over the weekend are moderate with poor
continuity from forecast runs.
