...WARM AND MAINLY DRY THIS WEEK...
...COOLING INTO THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (TUE AM - MON AM)...

Similar pattern to yesterday as a system remains downstream of the
area located over the northern Rockies...while a rather deep system
continues to spin over the northeast Pacific in the vicinity of
50N/145W. In between is a narrow wavelength upr ridge situated along
the west coast with a rather weak disturbance just southwest of
Point Conception...aiding in building a rather impressive marine
layer along the coast.

Once again...might see some build ups over the southern Sierra with
some very scattered showers possible along the crest of the
mountains. Otherwise...look for dry conditions with above normal
temperatures in the range of plus 5- to plus 15-degF over seasonal
averages...except along the immediate coast where the marine layer
will keep temperatures in check.

A s/wv trof rotating off the upr low over the northeast Pacific will
make its way toward the west coast tomorrow...mainly impacting the
Pacific Northwest...but there is a potential for very scattered
showers making their way down to the CA/OR border region. With
heights lowering a bit in this area...temperatures may moderate
downward just a tad. However...building high pressure from southwest
of the CA coast will bring warmer temperatures to the southern
portion of the region.

Thursday and Friday will see the upr ridge peak to the southwest of
the CA coast with temperatures at their highest. Then into the
weekend...the offshore system from the northeast Pacific will reach
the west coast and bring general troffing to the area. This will
bring a downward trend in temperatures...generally below normal for
Sunday through Tuesday...especially CA. Northeast NV may escape the
biggest impacts in terms of temperatures and remain closer to or
just above normal. Also...models are hinting at the potential for
some scattered showers to develop over eastern NV as the upr trof
moves in.

Freezing levels will start today from 12000- to 15000-feet...and
lower just a tad close to the CA/OR border tomorrow before
rebounding and peaking later Thursday from 14000- to 17000-feet.
Then for the weekend into Monday and Tuesday...look for these to
moderate a bit from 9000- to 14500-feet.
