...UPR LOW TO GENERATE SCATTERED SHOWERS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...



.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (SHORT TERM: THU PM - SUN AM)...



Amplified pattern across the eastern Pacific and western US will 

continue through the early part of the weekend with an upr low 

spinning over the lower Colorado River basin near the CA/NV/AZ 

triple point...and a high pressure ridge is situated just off the 

west coast building toward BC and the Pacific Northwest. Mainly dry 

north to northeast flow will be the rule with the exception being in 

the vicinity of the upr low where scattered showers will develop 

across southern NV...southeast CA...and upslope areas on the east 

side of the southern Sierra. Freezing levels will generally range 

from 5000- to 7000-feet in areas where precip is expected.





.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (LONG TERM: SUN AM - WED AM)...



Shower activity is forecast to continue into the long term window as 

the weakening upper level low begins to shift eastward by mid-week. 

Precipitation forecasts continue to be light (generally <0.10 

inches), though some locations may see more within heavier 

showers/thunderstorms. Afternoon forecasts continued to follow 

guidance from the WPC and NBM.
