...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.
