...VERY SCATTERED LIGHT PRECIP SOUTH AND EAST TODAY INTO SATURDAY...
...POTENTIAL FOR A SYSTEM TO ARRIVE WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK...

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

For the short-term...minimal changes with scattered light precip
expected across coastal southern CA and portions of the Great Basin
with two features impacting the region. The first is an upr low
spinning just west of northern Baja...which is poised to become an
open wave and increase its forward speed over the the next 24
hours...as it makes its way across the southern Plains. The other is
with a weak s/wv trof dropping southeast from the Pacific Northwest
toward the Great Basin on the upstream side of the broad upr trof
encompassing much of the nation.

An upr ridge will slide across the west coast for the latter half of
the weekend into Monday...bringing dry conditions to the region.
This feature is expected to be transitory with an upr trof moving
toward the eastern Pacific and west coast for the middle of the
week. Unfortunately...the 23/12Z models are struggling with the
timing and positioning of this feature...which will determine when
and where the potential for mainly light to locally moderate precip
occurs. For now...followed close to the latest WPC QPF...which does
spread the best precip along coastal areas between the lower Russian
River basin south through the SF Bay Area and down to the Big Sur
coast. This is all in the Day 6 time period (Wednesday)...and is a
low confidence forecast.
