..REMNANTS OF POST-TS RACHEL CONTINUE TREKKING NORTHEASTWARD
..HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION THROUGHOUT TODAY OVER EASTERN NEVADA
METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (SUN AM - SAT AM)
THE CENTER OF POST-TROPICAL STORM RACHEL IS CURRENTLY SITUATED OVER
THE MOJAVE DESERT OF CALIFORNIA, SPREADING PRECIPITATION ACROSS
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, THE SOUTHEAST DESERTS AND SOUTHERN NEVADA.
RACHEL HAS SHIFTED INLAND SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN FORECASTS INDICATED
YESTERDAY, RESULTING IN A SLIGHT DECREASE IN PRECIPITATION
ACCUMULATIONS OVER COASTAL SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR THE REST OF THE
DAY TODAY. WHILE ACCUMULATIONS HAVE DECREASED OVER THE COAST, AN
ADDITIONAL 2+ INCHES ARE FORECAST FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
SOUTHERN CA MOUNTAINS.
AS POST-TS RACHEL CONTINUES MOVING NORTHEASTWARD, HEAVIER SHOWER
ACTIVITY WILL FOCUS MORE ON EASTERN NEVADA WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES
THROUGHOUT THE REGION. LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR
WHERE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY INITIATES AND TRACKS.
BY TOMORROW...THE DISTURBANCE WILL HAVE MOSTLY LIFTED OUT OF THE
AREA TOWARD THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. REMNANT SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL
SPREAD RELATIVELY LIGHT PRECIPITATION ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA,
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SIERRA, AND EASTERN NEVADA.
FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE UPCOMING WEEK...THE SYSTEM WILL FINALLY SHIFT
EAST OF THE AREA WITH PRECIP DISSIPATING ACROSS EASTERN NV THROUGH
TUESDAY. BY WEDNESDAY...AN OFFSHORE UPR RIDGE WILL SLIDE TOWARD THE
COAST BUILDING ACROSS THE WEST COAST BY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THIS
WILL BRING DRYING WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES.
