####018001616#### AGUS76 KRSA 281336 HMDRSA Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 635 AM PDT Sun Apr 28 2024 ...MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD... ...TEMPERATURES BOUNCING AROUND NORMAL THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (SUN AM - SAT AM)... With upr troffing downstream over the Great Plains...an upr ridge offshore centered close to 30N/140W...and low pressure residing over the Gulf of Alaska...the region sits under west to northwest flow aloft. This will begin a mainly dry period for CA and NV...as the storm track remains primarily over BC and the Pacific Northwest. The southern extent of a couple of these disturbances will reach close enough to the CA/OR border area to generate some light precip for the crest of the southern OR Cascades and maybe the Smith River basin in extreme northwest CA on Monday and to a lesser extent on Tuesday/Wednesday. This pattern will remain fairly persistent through the work week before the upr ridge sharpens a bit and shifts toward the west coast on Friday into Saturday before moving inland and an upr low takes up residence over the northeast Pacific. Right now...models show differences in the strength of the system...and opportunity for precip across the region beyond the forecast period. Temperatures will fluctuate around normal through the week as each disturbance moves through BC and the Pacific Northwest. QPF graphics are available at www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/qpf.php Kozlowski $$
