...DRY INTO LATE NEXT WEEK FOR MOST AREAS...
...LIGHT PRECIP ALONG THE IMMEDIATE NORTH COAST ON SUNDAY...

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

High pressure remains overhead steering any moisture/precip away
from CA well to our north. A large upper low will traverse the Gulf
of Alaska this weekend sending a frontal system towards the PacNW.
The tail end of this front will scrape nrn CA on Sunday dropping
some light showers along the immediate north coast. Amounts look to
be less than 0.10" for most of the north coast and 0.10-0.25" over
the Smith Basin. Ensembles do not show potential for any significant
accumulations. Once this system lifts northeastward and weakens,
high pressure will persist offshore the rest of the forecast period
keeping conditions dry region wide.

Long term outlooks don't show any signs of widespread precip. CPC 6-
10 and 8-14 day outlooks through Feb 12 predict the continuation of
below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures. Ensembles
out of the GEFS and ECMWF dont't show any significant moisture south
of the OR border through mid month, maybe the occasional lighter
event over northern CA.
