...CONTINUED COOLER WITH SCATTERED PRECIP MAINLY NORTH...

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

A system dropping southeast out of the Gulf of Alaska has settled
over the Pacific Northwest this morning with general troffing across
the western US. A disturbance embedded in the overall flow is
currently making its way across northern NV with a cluster of
showers and thunderstorms associated with this feather...making its
way eastward across Elko County.

Through much of the upcoming week...models continue to show general
troffing continuing across the western US as the initial system
moves off toward the northern Rockies on Monday...but a secondary
system drops south out of the Gulf of Alaska down the west coast and
rotates inland to the Great Basin through the middle of the week.
Might finally see heights begin to rise a bit by the following
weekend. This will bring a chance for scattered showers mainly from
I-80 northward and over the higher terrain.

Temperatures will remain below normal for the upcoming week with the
coolest weather anticipated either today or Sunday from west to
east...depending on location. Afternoon anomalies for the next two
days will run anywhere from 5- to 25-degF below seasonal normals.

Freezing levels are showing a sharp gradient with the cooler airmass
moving in from the north with 7000-feet or so...and 17000-feet close
to the CA/MX border. Will see some moderation through the week with
freezing levels settling from 11000-feet north to 16000-feet south
for the second half of the week.
