Summary:

Temperatures are cooling this weekend to near or below seasonal normals as high pressure shifts downstream across the Great Plains states. Moisture will also erode across the area as drier southwest flow develops, bringing afternoon showers/thunderstorms to an end.
The overall pattern will continue cooler temperatures into the middle of the upcoming week, but a hint of high pressure returning to the 4-Corners region by the end of the week will bring warming temperatures above seasonal normals.
Overall expect steady or slowly receding river levels for most locations.
Expect the high-high tide for the Sacramento River at Rio Vista to fluctuate near monitor stage through Saturday.

Confidence: High
