KEY MESSAGES
* RELATIVELY CALM AND DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL.
DISCUSSION
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, THE FLOW PATTERN TRANSITIONS FROM ZONAL
TO RIDGING. AT THE SURFACE, THIS RESULTS IN BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE
AND DRY CONDITIONS. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT IN MOST LOCATIONS, BUT AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE GREAT BASIN THIS WEEKEND, THE
RESULTANT N-S PRESSURE GRADIENT IS FORECAST TO INCREASE NORTHERLY
WINDS IN THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER VALLEY. SOME MINOR BOATING IMPACTS
ARE POSSIBLE (25%). TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION WILL GRADUALLY
WARM, BUT WARMING IS LIKELY TO HINDERED WHERE WINDS AND VERTICAL
MIXING ARE WEAK. NONETHELESS, TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. BY MID TO LATE WEEK, MODEL GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS A PATTERN SHIFT TOWARDS COOLER AND WETTER CONDITIONS, BUT
UNCERTAINTY AT THIS RANGE REMAINS HIGH SO STAY TUNED.
