...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will continue to meander along the West Coast
while upper ridging persists across the central U.S. tomorrow
(Sunday). A 500 mb speed max within the upper trough should progress
northward toward the Pacific Northwest and International border,
with a gradual weakening in isallobaric flow expected to the lee of
the Cascades and Sierra. Nonetheless, boundary-layer mixing will
promote Elevated dry and breezy conditions in terrain-favoring
locations east of the Sierra into the Great Basin by afternoon,
where Elevated highlights have been introduced.
