Long range forecast / discussion...May 21 to 24--We could see a weak disturbance break up the sunny weather next Tuesday / Wednesday, otherwise sunny and warm weather continues through the following Saturday (24th) under strong high pressure ridging aloft. As more low pressure (weaker) affects the Northwest US (around the 24th/ 25th), the orientation of the wind flow aloft may allow some subtropical moisture to feed up from the south for daily thunderstorms in late May (27th onward possibly).
