046 AGUS76 KRSA 031333 HMDRSA Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 630 AM PDT Mon Jun 3 2024 ...SCATTERED SHOWERS FAR NORTHERN AREAS TODAY... ...WARMEST/HOTTEST TEMPS OF THE YEAR FOR TUE-THU... ...SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING CONVECTION POSSIBLE THU-SAT... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (MON AM - SUN AM)... Latest WV/IR imagery shows a s/wv trof moving across the Pacific Northwest this morning with the southern extent of the cold front dragging across northern CA into northern NV. Over the past 24 hours the best precip has fallen along the coast from the Smith River basin down toward the lower portions of the Klamath River basin with totals from 1.00- to 2.00-inches. However...there has been little progressing inland of widespread measurable precip with a few hundredths at best making their way to the upper Klamath River basin and above Shasta Lake. For today...the s/wv trof will quickly make its way farther inland toward the northern Rockies near the MT/Canada border...and precip will dissipate first across northern CA (primarily near the CA/OR border)...and then far northern NV mainly north of I-80. Also...temperatures will be at their coolest for the week ahead with below normal temperatures for much of northern/central CA and the northern third of NV...with slightly above normal for southern NV and the southeast CA deserts. The shift to some of the warmest/hottest temperatures of the year will then take place for Tuesday through Thursday as high pressure builds over the region. High temperatures will ramp up and become anywhere from plus 10- to plus 20-degF over seasonal norms. Then by the end of the week...the upr ridge axis will push far enough downstream to allow southwest flow aloft to develop across the west coast. Temperatures will still remain above normal...but not as warm as the middle of the week (about plus 5- to plus 15-degF over seasonal norms). Also...there does appear to be the opportunity for afternoon and early evening showers/t-storms to develop across the crest of the Sierra and portions of northern NV.
