NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BE THE PREVAILING FEATURE OF THE UPPER-
LEVEL WEATHER PATTERN THIS WEEK. A CUTOFF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER
THE BAJA PENINSULA WILL SHEAR OUT AND BECOME ABSORBED IN THE FLOW
ALOFT, SETTING UP A MORE TRADITIONAL POSITIVE PNA PATTERN OVER THE
CONUS BY MID WEEK. THE ANOMALOUSLY STRONG RIDGE WILL ANCHOR OVER
THE WEST COAST WHILE A TROUGH DEEPENS OVER THE EASTERN CONUS AND
COMES TO DOMINATE THE CENTRAL CONUS BY LATE WEEK. THIS FLOW WILL
REINFORCE COOLER AIR ACROSS OUR REGION THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AND
PREVENT SUBSTANTIAL MOISTURE RETURN UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND. LIGHT
RAIN IS POSSIBLE AROUND WEDNESDAY AS THE REMNANTS OF THE CUTOFF
LOW PASS THROUGH THE REGION, BUT CONFIDENCE ISN'T HIGH FOR
ACCUMULATIONS. WHILE SOME MODEL GUIDANCE HINT AT SOME POTENTIAL
FOR WINTRY PRECIP AROUND THE REGION, THE DETAILS DON'T SUPPORT
MUCH CHANCE FOR MEANINGFUL MOISTURE TO COINCIDE WITH AIR THAT
MIGHT BE COLD ENOUGH. THE PATTERN IS LESS CERTAIN NEXT WEEKEND,
BUT SOME CHANCE FOR BETTER RAINFALL COULD DEVELOP DEPENDING ON HOW
THE TROUGH SETS UP. /NF/
