...PRECIP CONTINUES TO SHIFT ACROSS NORTHERN CA THIS AFTERNOON...
...MAINLY DRY FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (TUE PM - MON AM)...

The s/wv trof has begun to shift inland this afternoon...dragging a
frontal boundary across northern CA on its way toward northern NV
this evening and overnight. Automated precip gauges since 03/12Z
show the best amounts where anticipated...between the upper Eel
River basin down to the Russian River basin with anywhere from 0.10-
to 0.50-inch being recorded. Lighter totals have been observed
inland across the Sacramento Valley with precip just now moving over
the northern/central Sierra.

This quick moving system will move east of the area on Wednesday
making its way toward the central Rockies. This will allow the
region to dry out as a positively tilted upr ridge begins to build
across the area. One weak s/wv trof will move toward the Pacific
Northwest on Wednesday...clipping the Smith River basin and crest of
the southern OR Cascades later tomorrow with a couple hundredths of
an inch of precip. Another system is anticipated later Saturday into
Sunday moving toward the Pacific Northwest with a slightly better
chance of precip for far northwest CA and the crest of the southern
CA Cascades...as amounts could reach from 0.10- to 0.25-inch.
