...SYNOPSIS...
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE UPPER-AIR PATTERN IS EXPECTED WITH A TROUGH
OVER THE EAST AND A WESTERN RIDGE EXTENDING NWD INTO THE NRN
ROCKIES. ONE DISTURBANCE MOVING SEWD THROUGH THE CENTRAL U.S. IS
EXPECTED TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN ACROSS CO/KS AND OK. ALTHOUGH IT
WILL REMAIN WARM TO HOT OVER MOST OF THE WEST...SOME MONSOONAL
MOISTURE UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
THUNDERSTORMS WITH MAINLY WETTING RAINS.
...SERN HALF OF OREGON...NERN CA...NWRN NV...
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED OVER THIS AREA DURING THE
PERIOD. THIS AREA REMAINS ON THE EDGE OF THE HIGHER MOISTURE WITH
PW VALUES REMAINING AROUND 0.75 INCH. NAM MODEL SHOWS SOME DRYING
MAY TAKE PLACE DURING THE AFTERNOON BEFORE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE
PW OVERNIGHT. FUELS REMAIN VERY DRY ACROSS THE AREA AND AFTERNOON
HIGHS WILL BE VERY WARM AND SURFACE HUMIDITY WILL GENERALLY BE BELOW
20 PERCENT. EVEN THOUGH MANY OF THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE
AT LEAST SOME WETTING RAINS...AS LIGHT WINDS FAVOR SLOW STORM
SPEEDS...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUPPORT AT LEAST SOME STORMS WITH VERY
LITTLE RAINFALL. HIGH CLOUD BASES AND A DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYER
INDICATE SOME OF THE RAINFALL WILL EVAPORATE BEFORE REACHING THE
GROUND...ESPECIALLY FOR STORMS MOVING OFF HIGHER TERRAIN. ALSO
LIGHTNING OUTSIDE THE MAIN RAIN CORES MAY PRODUCE IGNITIONS.

RAINFALL. WITH FORECAST PW STILL AROUND OR SLIGHTLY BELOW 0.75
INCH...WARM TO HOT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES...LOW SURFACE HUMIDITY
FROM 10 TO 20 PERCENT AND VERY DRY FUELS...WETTING RAINFALL IS LESS
