We're ending the work week warmer than yesterday. As evident below in the upper-level (~ 30,000 feet) winds and heights, there is not much going on over our neck of the woods. The jet stream is long to our north. However, a weak system embedded in the southern flow is present over California. This weak disturbance will be tracking east …
