...DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH WELL ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES...

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

A large area of high pressure is stretched across much of the
Pacific and over CA/NV this morning. This high pressure will
continue to influence the region the rest of the week while
gradually shifting eastward. The center of the ridge will settle
over the Four Corners on Friday remaining in place through the
coming weekend. This will steer any troughs well to our north
keeping dry conditions across CA/NV. High pressure is also expected
to bring well above normal temperatures, particularly today through
Thursday where afternoon highs are expected to be 10 to 20 deg F
above normal. The shifting of the ridge Friday may bring some slight
lowering of temperatures for nrn CA/NV, but widespread above normal
conditions of at least 5 to 15 deg F are still expected. 500 mb
cluster analysis suggests the potential for some relief around
October 11th as 60% of ensemble members show some degree of
troughing offshore of the PacNW and nrn CA. Unfortunetly 6-10 and 8-
14 day CPC outlooks are still predicting above normal temperatures
for the region. Will continue to keep an eye out for signs of Fall.
