667 AGUS76 KRSA 261352 HMDRSA Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 650 AM PDT Sun May 26 2024 ...MAINLY QUIET CONDITIONS IN TERMS OF PRECIP THROUGH THE WEEK... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (SUN AM - SAT AM)... Another relatively quiet week ahead in terms of precip potential across the region. The system that traversed the Great Basin yesterday has shifted well downstream and is moving over the central Plains state. A deep upr low has set up over the Gulf of Alaska and extends down toward the eastern Pacific. This is resulting in generally westerly flow across the west coast today. Through the early portion of this week...an upr ridge will pump up over the interior while the system over the Gulf of Alaska moves toward the BC coast and rotates a s/wv trof toward the Pacific Northwest. This will buckle the flow to be a bit more from the southwest across CA and NV from Monday into Tuesday. For the middle of the week...the s/wv trof will traverse the Pacific Northwest with the majority of the precip remaining north of the area...except for some scattered showers possible over the upper Klamath River basin and far northern NV on Tuesday into Wednesday. After this system moves off toward the east...a return to westerly flow aloft for the end of the week. Temperatures will rebound from their cooler than average values yesterday...and bounce above normal for primarily Monday and Tuesday before leveling off or even cooling a bit for Wednesday and Thursday. Then for the end of the week...warmer temperatures will once again re-establish themselves across the region. QPF graphics are available at www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/qpf.php Kozlowski $$
