KEY MESSAGES
* OUTSIDE OF BREEZY NORTHERLY WINDS IN THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY,
DRY AND MILD CONDITIONS WITH WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES
WILL CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK.
DISCUSSION
THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY.
BREEZY NORTH WINDS WILL LINGER DOWN THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY FOR A
FEW MORE DAYS WITH GUSTS PEAKING IN THE 20 TO 30 MPH RANGE.
OTHERWISE, WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION WILL REMAIN DRY AND MILD WITH
WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUING INTO NEXT WEEK AS RIDGING
PERSISTS OVER THE REGION. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EMBEDDED
WITHIN THE UPPER-LEVEL FLOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION BEGINNING
TOMORROW, BRINGING PERIODS OF INCREASED CLOUD COVER TO THE REGION.
THESE SHORTWAVES WILL ALSO CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO DECREASE A FEW
DEGREES AS WE SEE 500 MB HEIGHTS DECREASE SLIGHTLY AND THE UPPER-
LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL. HOWEVER, EVEN WITH THIS SLIGHT
DECREASE, TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH NEXT
WEEK.
