...A FEW SHOWERS REMAIN FOR THE NORTH COAST AND UPR KLAMATH TODAY...
...POSSIBILITY OF SHOWERS NORTHEAST LATER SAT INTO SUN...

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

The upr ridge centered over the Four Corners is being displaced
farther downstream of the region along the front range of the
Rockies this morning...as a s/wv trof and cold front moves inland
across the Pacific Northwest and northern CA. Some light precip was
observed overnight...mainly confined to coastal locations near and
north of Cape Mendocino with anywhere from a few hundredths of an
inch (south) to 0.25-inch (Smith River basin). May still see some
light precip this morning across the immediate northern CA coast and
possibly over the crest of the southern OR Cascades. This system
will lift off toward the east-northeast toward the northern Rockies
today...leaving behind an upr ridge to the southwest of the CA coast
near 30N/140W and westerly onshore flow between 40N and 50N
primarily taking aim at the Pacific Northwest.

For Thursday into Friday...a couple disturbances will move through
the westerly flow aloft and primarily impact southern BC and the
Pacific Northwest. The latter of the two systems will be a tad
stronger and drag some light precip closer to the upper Klamath
River basin on Saturday. As this s/wv trof on Friday moves inland on
Saturday...look for it to slow its eastward progress and buckle the
flow as it begins to dig toward the southeast over the Great Basin.
This may generate some light precip over the upper portions of the
Humboldt River basin in northeast NV. At this time...amounts look to
be generally near or less than 0.25-inch. Upstream over the
immediate west coast...look for dry northwest flow aloft.

Freezing levels are currently showing a sharp gradient near the
CA/OR border...ranging from 7000- to 11000-feet. Elsewhere across
the region freezing levels are from about 12000- to 14000-feet with
the highest values to the east. Thursday and Friday will generally
show freezing levels from 9000-feet (north) to 14000-feet (south).
Then as the system digs toward the Great Basin...freezing levels
will dip a bit across northern areas from 6000- to 9000-feet and
10000- to 14500-feet across the southern half of the area. By early
Tuesday with the more amplified flow...the gradient becomes more
northeast to southwest with 8500-feet over northeast NV to about
13000-feet or so along the immediate coast.
