Cyclonically influenced upper-level flow will prevail east of the

the West. Moisture will continue to stream inland across
California/Oregon toward parts of the Great Basin and northern
Intermountain Region through tonight, with buoyancy expected to
remain minimal with essentially nil thunderstorm potential.
