606 AGUS76 KRSA 231312 HMDRSA Hydrometeorological Discussion National Weather Service / California-Nevada RFC / Sacramento CA 615 AM PDT Thu Jul 23 2026 ...SCATTERED SHOWERS/T-STORM COVERAGE REMAINS LIMITED INTO NEXT WEEK... .METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (THU AM - WED AM)... High pressure will remain anchored near the 4-Corners region through the rest of this week into next week...as an area of low pressure currently spinning west of the CA/OR border offshore in the vicinity of 42N/130W eventually lifts off toward the northeast this weekend. However...reinforcing disturbances making their way out of the Gulf of Alaska will continue the general troffing over the northeast Pacific. As a result...expect dry southwest flow to be the rule across much of the region. Any higher moisture content air will remain over eastern NV and southeastern CA...and this is where the best opportunity for afternoon/early evening showers and thunderstorms will reside. However...with available moisture off the peaks from earlier this week...overall coverage looks to be less than what was recently observed. Freezing levels will fluctuate near present levels between 14000- and 18000-feet through the period with the gradient continuing from northwest to southeast.
