...MAINLY LIGHT PRECIP FAR NORTHWEST AREAS TODAY INTO EARLY FRI...
...COOLER INTO THE WEEKEND WITH LIGHT PRECIP MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST...

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

A high pressure ridge currently extends from southern CA northeast
over the interior of the western US to the central Rockies and
northern Plains states. This will bring one more day of widespread
above normal temperatures...until cooler air begins to filter across
the region from the northwest as an initial s/wv trof makes its way
from the northeast Pacific toward the Pacific Northwest and far
northern CA. Along with the cooler temperatures...precip chances
will increase for coastal areas near Cape Mendocino northward and
then inland over the upper Klamath River basin. Highest totals will
fall over the Smith River basin and crest of the southern OR
Cascades with 0.25- to 0.50-inch. Elsewhere...amounts will generally
be from 0.10-inch or less.

After this initial s/wv trof rotates inland to the northeast...look
for general troffing to continue along the west coast with another
disturbance arriving for the latter half of the weekend. The 24/00Z
EC is a bit slower and digs the system a tad more to the
south...while the 24/00Z GFS is a bit more progressive and shallower
with this s/wv trof. Might see some light precip develop ahead of
this system on Sunday into Monday mainly east of the Sierra crest
and the state of NV...as well as portions of southern CA from LA to
San Diego and inland over the interior deserts. Amounts should be
scattered and generally less than 0.10-inch. Also...this will help
keep temperatures cooler than average for this time of year through
Monday before a bit of a rebound Tuesday into Wednesday as high
pressure builds across the west coast.
