WED AUG 06 2014
Upper low which brought us the moisture on Sunday / Monday, will gradually exit the region tomorrow. As it does, a baggy trough will build in off the California Coast. This will do two things; (1) keep a slight chance of diurnal thunderstorms along the Crest each day; (2) keep temperatures just about normal for early August. By Sunday, a large ridge of high pressure begins to rebuild over Four Corners then retrograde westward. More thunderstorms next week? Stay tuned.
