Summary:

Very scattered showers the next two days over northeast Nevada will diminish to end the week as high pressure over the Desert Southwest begins to strengthen and shift downstream toward the Rocky Mountains and northern Plains states.
Southeast to south flow across the region next week will draw moisture associated with the monsoon northward across CA and NV, increasing chances of scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially over the central/southern Sierra, southern CA, and much of NV.
Little change in river levels is expected over the next 5 days.
Rio Vista is expected to reach monitor stage by the weekend due to high tides.

Confidence: High

Staffing Level: Normal
