WARM AND DRY EAST COOLING LATE; INCREASING SHOWERS ACTIVITY WEST
A weak Pacific disturbance will cross the state during this five day period. Conditions will feature above normal temperatures and mostly dry conditions west of the Divide. As the snowpack evaporates and melts, daily light showers and few thundershowers could develop over higher terrain but precipitation amounts and coverage will be very low. Monday moister air will move in to increase thunderstorm activity and precipitation in the west but amounts will be low to modest.
