...DISCUSSION...

EXPANSIVE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE GREAT BASIN TO THE SRN

PLAINS WILL WEAKEN ON FRI/DAY 3 AS AN UPPER-LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH

APPROACHES THE WA/BC COAST...RESULTING IN SUBSIDING OFFSHORE FLOW

OVER SRN CA. LATEST MODEL FORECASTS HAVE CONSISTENTLY TRENDED TO A

MORE AMPLIFIED EVOLUTION OF THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH AS IT PROGRESSES

TOWARDS THE CNTRL CONUS THIS WEEKEND. A LEE SURFACE TROUGH SHOULD

SHARPEN ALONG THE HIGH PLAINS ON SAT/DAY 4...WITH STRENGTHENING

SWLYS OVER PORTIONS OF THE SRN HIGH PLAINS. WELL-ABOVE NORMAL

TEMPERATURES AND LOW RH SHOULD ACCOMPANY THE STRONG WINDS...AND

CONFIDENCE HAS BECOME SUFFICIENT FOR A CRITICAL AREA DELINEATION.
