...SCATTERED PRECIP CHANCES DIMINISH OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (MON AM - SUN AM)...

Flow aloft is generally from the southwest this morning...sitting 
between troffing over the eastern Pacific and a high pressure ridge 
axis aligned close to the Continental Divide. Enough moisture in 
place today will once again see the opportunity for scattered 
showers and thunderstorms across portions of the upper Klamath River 
basin into northern NV...as well as the crest of the Sierra. As high 
pressure builds over the Desert Southwest the next couple 
days...look for precip chances to diminish while temperatures 
warm above normal for this time of year.

Freezing levels are currently running from 13500-feet northwest to 
16500-feet near the CA/MX border. These will increase and peak on 
Friday anywhere from 15000-feet northwest to 18000-feet in the 
vicinity of Death Valley NP.
