...SYSTEM SCRAPING NRN CA TODAY/SUN MAY BRING LIGHT PRECIP TO THE
NORTH COAST AND THE CA/OR BORDER ALONG WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPS...

IN EARLY NEXT WEEK...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (SAT AM - FRI AM)...

An upper low continues to approach the PacNW this morning as high
pressure remains entrenched over the desert southwest. The low will
move inland across OR later today lifting into WA and ID tomorrow.
As the system passes, a few light showers may fall across the CA/OR
border and the north coast later today through Sunday morning.
Amounts look fairly minimal at generally less than 0.10" and 0.10-
0.25" over the crest of the Cascades. This system will also kick off
some cooling first over nw and central CA today before more
widespread cooling for Sunday. Behind the low, drier air is expected
to move in preventing any additional chances for precip. Troughing
will remain overhead through mid next week keeping temperatures near
to below normal for most areas. Into Thursday, models have an area
of high pressure moving towards the PacNW from the Gulf of Alaska as
the high pressure over the sw also expands into southern CA. Neither
look to be carrying any moisture into the area at the moment keeping
the forecast dry through the period.
