This outlook is issued every Wednesday to update the Sunday weekly forecast and provide a weather outlook for the next 10 days.
Persistence is really becoming the best weather forecast, since the large scale weather pattern hasn’t changed much in the past couple of weeks and isn’t expected to change much for the next 7 to 10 days.
The main or large scale high pressure area will remain over the south central U.S. Normally this time of year this high will set up over the southwest and western U.S. for at least a couple of weeks, but none of the longer range forecast models are even hinting at this happening.
So the next seven to 10 days, Redding can expect sunny skies with high temperatures in the mid to upper 90s.
