Summary:

High pressure building along the west coast today will shift inland and move east of the area by the end of the weekend. This will bring warmer temperatures to the region with anomalies of +5F to +20F, peaking on Friday for most locations.
Dry conditions outside of a stray shower over southeast CA on Friday into Saturday will transition to a cooler and unsettled period of weather next week as an area of low pressure drops southward along the coast. Still some uncertainty with the overall track of this system.
Little change in river levels is expected.

Confidence: High, Decreasing by Next Monday

Staffing Level: Normal
