Saturday will be a generally warm and calm day across the backcountry with seasonally warm high temperatures and light winds as high pressure builds in overhead. A few clouds may appear into the afternoon, but chances of precip. are nearly nil.

Winds may begin to increase modestly by Sunday along with a few high clouds as a weak trough of low pressure approaches CA from the west.

Looking out further and more widely, a brief snapshot from the ECMWF 500mb map shows an active flow over the next 10 days.
