...TURNING MAINLY DRY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (WED AM - TUE AM)...

The s/wv trof that traversed northern CA through the afternoon hours
yesterday...and then northern NV during the evening and overnight
hours is exiting the region to the east crossing the UT/NV border on
its way over the central Rockies later today. Radar imagery does
show a few showers on the backside of this system dropping southward
over northeast NV. Otherwise...dry conditions are in place across
the region.

A very transitory high pressure ridge will slide across the area
today with an elongated s/wv trof making its way toward the Pacific
Northwest later today into early Thursday. This will generate a few
showers over the crest of the southern OR Cascades near Crater Lake
with a few hundredths of an inch of precip.Then for the remainder of
the week...a positively tilted upr ridge will stretch from off the
CA coast toward the northern Rockies. Look for a continuation of dry
conditions with warming temperatures mainly in the range of plus 5-
to plus 10-degF over seasonal normals. By Sunday...another s/wv trof
will ride from southwest to northeast on the upstream side of the
upr ridge and make its way toward the Pacific Northwest. This will
also generate some light precip mainly over the Smith River basin up
toward the crest of the southern OR Cascades with amounts near or
less than 0.25-inch. Otherwise...dry conditions will prevail for the
rest of the area into early next week.

For beyond the forecast period...the Climate Prediction Center does
show a higher likelihood of above normal precip across CA and NV
with the potential of a series of ARs impacting the west coast
during the latter half of next week according to the CW3E AR
landfall tool based on the EPS and GEFS.
