Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California-Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 620 AM PDT Fri Sep 11 2026 ...SYSTEM SCRAPING NRN CA ON SATURDAY MAY BRING LIGHT PRECIP TO THE NORTH COAST AND THE CA/OR BORDER ALONG WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPS... ...DRY CONDITIONS THE REST OF THE PERIOD AS A DRIER AIR MASS MOVES IN EARLY NEXT WEEK... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (FRI AM - THU AM)... An upper low is currently approaching the PacNW sliding down the BC coast as broader troughing begins to to take over the west coast. This should act to flatten the ridge around the CA/NV/AZ triple point eventually shifting it further inland as the upper low pushes into the PacNW and nrn CA. This will result in some cooling starting today with more notable drops in afternoon high temperatures over the weekend. Additionally, as the low heads through the PacNW expect some chances of showers along the north coast and CA/OR border Saturday. The low will then shift northeastward through OR/WA into ID on Sunday. Troughing should remain overhead early next week keeping temperatures near to just below normal. Drier air moving in behind that low should keep precip out of the forecast the rest of the period.
