...BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR PRECIP MOVES THROUGH TODAY...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (FRI AM - THU AM)...

Today will be the most active day in terms of precip production into
much of next week as a couple disturbances move through overall
troffing along the west coast this morning...before exiting the
region to the east tomorrow across the 4-Corners region. Best precip
looks to fall over the CA/OR border region and then down the length
of the Sierra and points east over much of NV...where totals in the
range of 0.25- to 0.50-inch are expected. Freezing levels will be
from 5000-feet northwest to about 8000-feet southeast as the cooler
airmass moves through today...before starting to rebound tomorrow as
the system moves downstream.

Flow becomes generally westerly this weekend...lasting into next
week with high pressure to the southwest of the region around
30N/140W...while the storm track moves across the northern Pacific
between 45N and 50N taking disturbances toward the Pacific Northwest
and BC. Below normal temperatures today and tomorrow will fluctuate
closer to normal into next week.
