After weeks of monsoon-fueled thunderstorms, wildfires and sweltering heat, " an early season cold front " is expected to bring temperatures down across California this week. "We're going to have rapid cooling, with the biggest drop in temperatures tomorrow," Kristan Lund, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard, said Monday. "This is one of the biggest cooldowns we've seen, especially since June. ... This will bring temperatures pretty far below normal."

In the forecast for Shasta, Siskiyou, and Trinity counties, both wet and dry thunderstorms are likely, increasing wildfire risk and prompting red flag warnings.
