LAKEVIEW 233 PM PDT TUE SEP 30 2008 ... BIG CHANGES IN THE WEATHER LATER THIS WEEK...

THE PAST WEEK HAS FELT A LOT LIKE SUMMER OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN OREGON WITH WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND DRY WEATHER... EXCEPT FOR SOME AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS.



ALL THAT WILL COME TO A DECISIVE END LATER THIS WEEK. WEDNESDAY WILL BE THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER.



A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE TO THE COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND MOVE INLAND THURSDAY. SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION WILL REACH THE COAST LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND WILL SPREAD INTO SOUTHWEST OREGON AND WESTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. THURSDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER THAN THE WEDNESDAY HIGHS.



ANOTHER WETTER SYSTEM WILL MOVE IN ON THE HEELS OF THE FIRST ONE FRIDAY AFTERNOON. RAIN WILL BE LIKELY WITH THIS SYSTEM FROM THE CASCADES WEST WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN FARTHER EAST. POST-FRONTAL SHOWERS WILL PERSIST INTO THE WEEKEND.



AT LEAST ONE MORE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ONSHORE DURING THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.



NO FLOODING IS EXPECTED WITH THESE SYSTEMS SINCE THE SOIL IS CURRENTLY DRY AND THE STREAM FLOWS ARE LOW. SNOW WILL BE LIMITED TO THE HIGHEST PEAKS... REMAINING WELL ABOVE THE VALLEYS AND PASSES.
