Here is the latest from the NWS until we ramp operations again this fall--we'll have much more detailed and customized discussions and forecasts then...

REGIONAL DISCUSSION;

--> A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WITH EMBEDDED IMPULSES WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND SHOWERS/ THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES/PLAINS/INTERMOUNTAIN REGION, AND PARTS OF THE GREAT BASIN THROUGH MONDAY. THERE IS SOME SNOW IN THE FORECAST FOR THE CASCADES, MAINLY ABOVE 4,000 FEET, WITH SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER A FOOT POSSIBLE IN SOME OF THE FAVORED LOCATIONS LIKE MT BAKER.

--> TEMPERATURES BENEATH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE BELOW, TO MUCH BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR THROUGH MONDAY.

NOR-CAL SPECIFIC, AND LONGER RANGE;

LOCAL WINDS HAVE PICKED UP A LITTLE EARLIER THAN EXPECTED THIS MORNING WITH THE MAIN 
EFFECT ON AREA LAKES. TAHOE OBS AND CAMS INDICATE DECOUPLED LOWER ATMOSPHERE AND 
CHOPPY LAKE WATERS. LITTLE CHANGE IN SHOWER COVERAGE EXPECTED OVER THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST HOWEVER MORNING SOUNDINGS...MODEL SOUNDINGS...AND EARLY 12Z MODELS INDICATE 
TOO MUCH STABILITY FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. TONED DOWN THE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE
OVER THE NORTHERN ZONES AND ALSO CHANGED THE TIMING TO SLIGHTLY EARLIER AS THE BEST 
COLD POOL IS ALREADY OVERHEAD. WARMING TEMPERATURES ALOFT AND LESS UPPER FORCING 
WILL ACTUALLY DECREASE SHOWER ACTIVITY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON WITH ONLY A FEW LINGERING 
SHOWERS EXPECTED BY THIS EVENING.
