Summary:

Light precipitation is expected near the CA/OR border and far northern NV this weekend with an area of low pressure making its way across the Pacific Northwest and then eventually diving southeast toward the Great Basin and Wasatch. Totals will generally be less than 0.25".
A return to widespread precipitation is still looking more likely by the following weekend (Dec 14-15) and into the next week as the Climate Prediction Center is showing a higher likelihood of above normal precipitation for the northern 3/4 of the region.
Steady conditions or slow recessions are expected on area rivers over the next few days.
No action or flood stage exceedances are expected in the next 5 days.
