...MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS FOR THURS/FRI BEFORE SHOWERS AND BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES RETURN FOR THE WEEKEND...

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

Dry conditions across the region today in between systems.
Yesterday's trough continues to exit further inland while another
approaches CA from the west. Troughing will move overhead this
weekend from offshore as another descends from the PacNW. This is
expected to generate scattered showers across the region, though
mainly over the Sierra and eastward into NV as well as Shasta.
Thunderstorms possible over nrn/central CA and across to NV. Expect
temperatures to cool dropping down to -5 to -15 deg F below seasonal
normals over the weekend. The trough will exit the region late
Sunday/Monday as another low approaches from offshore. Some
differences regarding the positioning and movement of that low
between the models, but either way does not look like that one will
produce any significant precip.

Morning forecast was mainly the morning WPC guidance. Nearly all the
precip is expected for Saturday and Sunday mainly concentrated east
of the valleys. QPF: 0.10-0.75" Sierra, 0.30-1.25"
Shasta/srn/central NV, and a few hundredths to 0.15" over coastal srn
CA. Freezing levels 9-11 kft through Friday lowering statewide to 6-
8 kft over the weekend. As the system exits, expect levels to
rebound back up to 8-11 kft Monday.
