...DRYING WITH REBOUNDING TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK...



.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (MON AM - SUN AM)...



Conditions are quieting down across the region after an active 

weekend in terms of precip associated with an area of low pressure 

that moved from the Gulf of Alaska toward the CA coast before moving 

inland yesterday across the central portion of the state and exiting 

the region to the east over southern NV. The primary circulation is 

nearing the 4-Corners region at this hour...with a few scattered 

showers making their way from north-to-south on the backside of the 

system near the NV/UT border. Otherwise...for today...look for drier 

conditions with northerly flow aloft as high pressure builds over 

the eastern Pacific and begins to nudge toward the west coast. 

General troffing over west-central Canada will stretch down across 

the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies this week...while the 

narrow upr ridge sets up along or just off the west coast. This will 

keep drier west to northwest flow across the region and any precip 

to the north and east. Models still hinting at a weak disturbance 

moving through the flow across the southern portion of the region on 

Friday into Saturday...but continue to think there isn/t enough 

moisture or lift to generate anything more than a few build ups and 

if anything a very isolated shower. Temperatures this week will 

rebound from below normal today to above normal through the week 

(except for the immediate coast) from about plus 5- to plus 10-degF 

over seasonal normals.
