.DISCUSSION...

A few high level clouds are visible on GOES West visible
satellite imagery today, but otherwise clear skies prevail across
interior Northern California. Non-zero chances remain (less than
5%) for isolated mountain thunderstorms south of HWY 50, but best
potential remains east of the Sierra crest.

Temperatures today and Tuesday remain a few degrees below normal,
though as upper level pressures rise, Wednesday sees a gradual
warm-up to near-normal and above normal conditions. Warmest
temperatures will be in the triple digits up in the northern
Sacramento Valley where the Delta breeze has far less influence.
Still, Thursday and through the weekend, much of the Valley can
expect Moderate HeatRisk, so it`s important to practice heat
safety this week! Take actions like wearing sunscreen while
outside and drinking plenty of water.

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions prevail next 24 hours across interior NorCal.
Southerly wind gusts up to 25 kts beginning around 22z today for
Central and Northern Sacramento TAF sites, northerly gusts up to
25 kts at northern San Joaquin TAF sites. Delta Breeze gusts
around 25-30 kts beginning around 01z Tuesday.

.STO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
