340 AGUS76 KRSA 241340 HMDRSA Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 640 AM PDT Mon Jun 24 2024 ...SCATTERED SHOWERS/T-STORMS MAINLY HIGHER TERRAIN CENTRAL/SOUTH MON-WED... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (MON AM - SUN AM)... With a broad area of high pressure centered near or just south of the 4-Corners region...the general flow around this feature has advected enough lower latitude moisture across the southern half of the region with PW values over 1.00-inch at several 24/12Z RAOBs. The highest value recorded was 1.69-inches at KNKX...and just behind was KVBG with 1.56-inches. For southern NV...KVEF showed a PW value of 1.08-inches. This has allowed for scattered showers and t-storms to develop...mainly in the afternoon and early evening hours. However...even early this morning...there is a cluster of cells moving to the north-northeast toward Point Conception according to the latest radar imagery. The opportunity for this scattered precip focused on the higher terrain will be today through Wednesday...before the high pressure ridge flattens a bit and an upr trof over the northeast Pacific nudges closer to the coast and turns the overall flow drier and from the southwest. Temperatures will be warmest today before cooling slightly but still remaining above normal by the middle and end of the week.
