427 AGUS76 KRSA 022036 HMDRSA Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 130 PM PST Tue Dec 2 2025 ...STORM SYSTEM TO SPREAD LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER NORTHEAST NEVADA TODAY INTO TOMORROW MORNING... ...POTENTIAL FOR PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE NORTH COAST BEGINNING FRIDAY OVER THE WEEKEND WITH FLATTENING RIDGE... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (TUE PM - MON AM)... Similar story to the morning forecast with little change to the QPF in association with an inside slider today and into tomorrow along with the potential for unsettled weather across the North Coast beginning Friday. QPF was increased slightly, up to .2 inches over the Smith basin, through the weekend as models have begun to converge slightly (still some considerable differences). Otherwise, conditions look to continue to be dry for a large majority of the forecast area through the 6-day window as ridging dominates the flow regime. Freezing levels are forecast to lower throughout the day today and into tomorrow with the digging low to ~10.5k feet along the coast and 5k feet over Nevada. A return to a more north-south oriented gradient is expected later this week as the ridge deamplifies with freezing levels dropping to ~9k feet across the north and 13.5k feet across the south on Sunday.
