meteorologist tony smith is back with our forecast. (( )) here's more on our next chance of rain -- a system will approach the california coast southwest flow across the region. given the deeper mixing through the afternoon, believe wednesday will likely be the warmest day for most locations. southwest winds will be gusty and could be fairly strong across the sierra nevada from thursday morning. your 8 news now team will keep an eye on the forecast strength and the potential for some downsloping into valley. there is still some model disagreement with the system as it moves inland. --------------- ----------------------- ------------- one model remains weaker with the trough than the european, which has implications on the timing as well as coverage of precipitation. another system shows a little slower and a little more generous with the rain than previous one, yet both models agree the precip should be quickly ending if not already dry by thursday night. --------- ----------------------------- ------------- even with the timing and precip differences, the overall picture still indicates that the greatest precip chances should be confined to areas north and west
