Weather Discussion for Wednesday June 12, 2019

Normal high/ low temperatures for June 10-June 17  (high/low) Redding 91/62 Chico 90/57, Quincy 81/42, Chester 76/40, Susanville 79/46, Grass Valley 80/51, Weaverville 84/44, Mt. Shasta 77/45 Yreka 80/45, Alturas 77/41

High pressure is along the coast.   Over the next few days this high will move a little to the west (see map below).   This morning's satellite picture (below) shows some sub tropical moisture has moved northward over the Sierras.  This moisture will fuel afternoon cumulus clouds over the mountains through Friday with isolated thunderstorms possible north and east of Redding.   Temperatures will continue 8 to 12 degrees above normal.

Saturday through next week the high will continue to dominate our weather.   We will see sunny skies with continued above normal temperatures.  Gusty north winds are expected Sunday through Tuesday.

Ref question about this years lightning...We have had an above normal occurrence of weak upper level low pressure areas this spring.   These might be weak but they bring cold air aloft in which coupled with the hotter air at the surface, due to the longer days really drops the stability more than we get with monsoonal moisture. 

High pressure is along the coast.  Today through Wednesday we will have sunny skies with some afternoon clouds over the mountains.  Temperatures will continue run 5 to 10 degrees above normal and winds will be light..

Thursday and early Friday an upper level low pressure trough will move through the Pacific Northwest and Canada (see map below).  This will weaken the off shore high pressure area.   Temperatures will cool back to  near normal on Thursday and Friday with a few clouds in the far end of the state.  Gusty north winds will start late Thursday and continue through Friday.

Saturday through early next week high pressure will rebuild along the coast.  The inland areas of the north state will be clear with above normal temperatures.  The gusty north winds will continue through midday Sunday.
