...TEMPERATURES INCREASING TO ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD...
...VERY SCATTERED SHOWERS POSSIBLE FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND...

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

Current setup shows several disturbances rotating through general
troffing across the northern Rockies...while a robust area of high
pressure continues to strengthen and slowly nudge eastward over the
eastern Pacific. This places the region under northwesterly flow
aloft. Through the rest of the week...the area of high pressure will
make its way closer to the west coast and settle somewhere around
130W. This will bring a period of above normal temperatures to the
region with the peak still appearing to occur on Friday with
anomalies of plus 5- to plus 20-degF over seasonal normals. This
feature will stick around in one form or another into next week with
warmer than average temperatures anticipated. Also...models continue
to hint at the potential for very scattered convective showers to
develop later this week (Friday) and last through the weekend with
the best coverage during the afternoon and early evening hours. Look
for the southern Sierra...far southern CA...and southern NV to be
the location of best chances of this occurring.

Freezing levels currently range from 12000-feet northeast to almost
18000-feet southeast along the southern CA coast. Look for slight
fluctuations through the period into next week...as the area of high
pressure remains the dominant feature along the west coast.
