PERIOD INITIATES WITH SUBSTANTIAL RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND BROAD TROF OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE NATION. MOISTURE INCREASES AND AFOREMENTIONED SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE WILL BRING PRECIPITATION CHANCES BACK TO THE AREA. SYSTEM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE OVERLY DYNAMIC AT THIS POINT AND WILL ONLY KEEP CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME. PRECIPITATION TYPE COULD BE PROBLEMATIC AS BUFKIT/MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW A LIGHT MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. WILL SOMEWHAT REWORK THE MIXED PRECIPITATION CURRENTLY IN PLACE AND TAKE A WAIT AND SEE APPROACH.

ONCE THE WEAK SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH...PATTERN BECOMES MORE ZONAL IN NATURE WITH DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. ANOTHER WEAK WAVE PASSES TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA SUNDAY BUT LITTLE IS EXPECTED FROM THIS FEATURE. BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW EARLY IN THE PERIOD WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL WITH SOME MODERATION LATER ON AS FLOW FLATTENS OUT. MAV/MEX TRENDS LOOK REASONABLE AND ARE GENERALLY ACCEPTED BUT WILL GO A FEW DEGREES ABOVE THE SPECIFIC NUMBERS ESPECIALLY EARLY ON.
