...Synopsis...
An expansive mid/upper-level ridge will build across the western
CONUS today. Along the southern periphery of the ridge, a midlevel
vorticity maximum -- currently evident in water-vapor imagery near
the northern Gulf of CA -- will continue west-northwestward across
southern CA. Increasing midlevel moisture and ascent preceding this
feature will support isolated thunderstorms across portions of
southern CA into the overnight hours. While a mix of wet/dry
thunderstorms could favor some threat of lightning-induced ignitions
over dry fuels, the dry-thunderstorm risk appears too localized for
highlights at this time.

Along the western periphery of the ridge, moderate
south-southwesterly midlevel flow will overspread northern CA into
OR. Here, boundary-layer mixing into the enhanced flow aloft will
contribute to locally dry/breezy conditions during the afternoon --
especially within terrain-favored areas such as the Shasta Valley.
While locally elevated fire-weather conditions are possible, the
threat is too localized for an Elevated area.
