Summary:

Warm temperatures and dry conditions are anticipated over the next couple days as high pressure from off the CA coast builds over the region. Temperatures look to peak on Friday with anomalies of +5F to +20F over seasonal normals.
A weather system approaching the west coast early next week may bring the potential for scattered precipitation across the region on Monday into Tuesday. At this time the shift to cooler is looking likely, but overall coverage and amounts of precip are lower confidence.
Rivers will fluctuate near present levels, except where impacted by reservoir release changes.

Confidence: High, Decreasing Mon into Tue

Staffing Level: Normal
