...COOLING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD...

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

A couple areas of high pressure dominate conditions across the
eastern Pacific and western US this morning with the first the more
persistent feature centered over the 4-Corners region...while a
second is offshore along 140W at 35N. Through the first half of this
week...the downstream high pressure will shift toward the east
eventually reaching the southern Plains states. The upstream area of
high pressure will amplify a bit as it stretches toward the Gulf of
Alaska. This will allow for general troffing to develop along or
just off the west coast with temperatures that had been running
above normal for the beginning of August finally dropping below
normal as the week progresses...with about minus 5- to minus 15-degF
anomalies. Also...with enough moisture and instability
present...look for an increasing chance of precip this week with the
focus over the Sierra and points east across much of NV. Early
on...the next couple days may see some showers/t-storms develop over
portions of southeast CA.

Freezing levels currently running anywhere from 15500- to 16500-feet
will drop by the upcoming weekend to 13000-feet northwest to almost
15000-feet close to the CA/MX border.
