...CONTINUED COOLER WITH PRECIP POSSIBLE THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEK...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (MON AM - SUN AM)...

The primary circulation associated with the general troffing across
the west coast this morning is now located near the Sacramento
area...continuing to slowly drop toward the south-southeast before
it looks to swing toward the northeast later today into Tuesday.
Currently...radar imagery shows the best echoes in the northeast
quadrant of this feature stretching from an area northeast of Bishop
northward across Winnemucca before reaching the OR border near
McDermitt. In this band of precip...amounts are generally from a few
hundredths of an inch to just over 0.10-inch per hour...per latest
gauge reports and MRMS multi-sensor scan. Through today...the best
precip continues to look to be east of the Sierra crest over the
northern half of NV...and primarily in the swath where precip is
training this morning.

As this feature moves off toward the northeast on Tuesday...the next
area low pressure will drop out of the Gulf of Alaska and make its
way southward along or just outside of the west coast through
Thursday morning...reaching near Point Conception before ejecting
toward the east-northeast through the end of the week. Another round
of precip will spread across the region...mainly impacting
northern/central CA and much of the state of NV. Given the
trajectory of the system...look for the best amounts to fall across
the Smith River basin and then down the length of the
Cascades/Sierra crest along with point east over the northern half
of NV.
