SATURDAY is definitely the pick of the weekend. Any areas of fog around early clear out. The north and mountains could see a few clouds develop, with perhaps the risk of a sprinkle over the central highlands in the afternoon as upper-level ridging slides to the east. High pressure to the south also tracks east, which may enhance the sea breeze along the coast in the afternoon. The only wrinkle in the day may be to those sensitive to ragweed and grass pollen, as those are running high across much of the region.
 
SATURDAY NIGHT: the sky clears out and brings the risk for some areas of fog overnight over the interior valleys. Overnight lows fall back into the 50s to low 60s.
 
SUNDAY: the pattern shifts to a damper one as an upper-low spins a cold front out ahead of it. The morning stays mainly dry, but with the frontal boundary approaching, showers with the risk of a thunderstorm are possible in the afternoon into the early evening. The general thinking at this point is that the best chance is over the western mountains and foothills up into the north. With the lack of wind flow aloft, there is the risk of slow-moving pulse dumpers that may bring locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Due to the southwest flow, dew points are expected to rise into the 60s. While the humidity won’t be oppressive, it may be uncomfortable in some areas, and that extra amount of juice will be fuel for clouds and shower/storm activity. Another warm day with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s, with a coastal sea breeze developing.
 
SUNDAY NIGHT: Most shower/storm activity tapers off as the atmosphere cools, but I can’t rule out a stray shower over the interior. Overnight lows will be on the warm side, in the upper 50s to low 60s.
 
MONDAY: The south and west have the best chance for widespread shower and storm potential, with more isolated activity further north and east. Showers break out over the west and north in the morning, then over the south and east in the afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted southwestern areas for the potential for isolated severe storms in their Day 3 Outlook, which may likely be a conditional threat based on the amount of sun. Damaging wind and the risk of small hail are the primary concerns.  Stay tuned. Temperatures are expected to be a bit cooler in the 70s.
 
EXTENDED OUTLOOK: A morning shower is possible over the south Tuesday morning. Another cold front moves to the east Wednesday into Thursday, bringing the risk of showers with it, but guidance disagrees on timing at this point. Friday appears dry, with shower chances possible for Saturday of Labor Day weekend.
