.DISCUSSION...
A significant change in the weather pattern will introduce fall-like weather during the upcoming week as strong low pressure pivots through the region. The most notable changes this weekend will be slightly cooler temperatures -- albeit still warm -- and an uptick in afternoon breezes. SW/W gusts will reach 20-30 mph each afternoon this weekend, so minor impacts to travel and recreation will be possible. Areas of elevated fire weather conditions will also be possible, especially in the Sierra Front. Winds are favored to peak on Monday with gusts reaching 30-40 mph in the afternoon, so be prepared for additional travel and recreation impacts. Humidity will rise above critical thresholds on Monday, precluding a greater fire threat. Winds remain breezy after Monday, but will gradually taper through the week.
Of greater note will be the well below average temperatures next week with daytime highs projected to be in the 60s and 70s. Nighttime low will also likely fall to near/below freezing in the High Sierra and cold prone Sierra valleys. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase Monday through Wednesday with areas near the Oregon border having the greatest chances. However, this will largely depend on the trajectory of the low pressure area so there is some uncertainty. The low will depart the region at the end of the week, allowing a slow warming and drying trend into the following weekend.
