Expect another day with no precipitation today under W to NW flow aloft and with a dry airmass in place. A trough and associated front are expected to move into the central Great Basin Sun, bringing light precipitation to mainly the NV portion of the forecast area. A similar system with a bit more westerly track is expected around Tue, with precip expected into SW OR as well. Freezing levels around 5000-10000 ft (lowest in the north) are expected with both systems. By Wed, models diverge with regard to the track of the second system, with some taking the trough into the SW U.S. and other forming a cutoff low off the southern CA coast. Either scenario could result in mainly light precipitation for the southern CA coast and potentially parts of the Sierra. Some of the ECMWF ensemble members show the potential for heavier amounts due to their more westerly trajectory in handling the system. As with the previous systems, we follows an NBM/WPC blend, which shows only light precip for southern CA. Freezing levels around 7000-9000 ft are expected.
