Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday. ....Discussion... The large-scale pattern will be progressive on Saturday, with a shortwave trough and related frontal band moving inland across the Pacific Northwest and northern California. Steepening mid-level lapse rates and weak buoyancy could yield isolated thunderstorms mainly for coastal areas of Oregon and northern California during the morning, and possibly into the afternoon. Severe thunderstorms are not expected given the minimal buoyancy but gusty winds could occur with a storm or two along the immediate coast. Elsewhere, prevalent surface high pressure east of the Rockies and stable conditions will preclude thunderstorms. ...Guyer.. 12/20/2024 $$ --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: ILink: CCO - capitolcityonline.net (454:3/105) .
