...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.
