626 AGUS76 KRSA 032027 HMDRSA Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 1230 PM PST Wed Dec 3 2025 ...DRY CONDITIONS FOR MOST OF THE REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE SITS OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC... ...LIGHT SHOWERS ALONG THE NRN BORDER FRI INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A A FEW SYSTEMS SLIDE DOWN THE RIDGE INTO THE PACNW... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (WED PM - TUE AM)... Forecast remains on track with no major updates for the afternoon. A strong ridge of high pressure sits over the eastern Pacific and is expected to bring dry conditions to most of the region through the period. A series of systems is progged to slide down the northern/eastern side of the ridge into the PacNW late this week, over the weekend, and potentially early next week as well. There is still uncertainty on how much any of these may flatten the ridge and thus how far south precip will travel. Right now it still looks minimal with highest amounts over the crest of the Cascades (0.75- 1.50") and the Smith Basin (0.25-0.50") with barely a tenth for the rest of the north coast. This is an increase of about 0.10" over the Smith and nearly 0.50" over the crest of the Cascades since the morning issuance. QPF graphics are available at www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/qpf.php AS $$
