MORE OF THE SAME IN THE SHORT TERM. STRONG RIDGING WILL KEEP

CONFIDENCE IN WELL ABOVE NORMAL CONDITIONS (HIGHS IN THE 70S TO
AROUND 80). NO PRECIP IS EXPECTED IN THIS TIME FRAME.
TOWARD THE MIDDLE TO END NEXT WEEK, THE UPPER RIDGE WILL
WEAKEN AND SHIFT EAST, RESULTING IN SW FLOW. THIS WILL FAVOR
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS (STILL ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS GENERALLY
IN THE 70S) AND SLIGHTLY INCREASED CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION
(15-25% THURSDAY AND FRIDAY). THERE REMAINS QUITE A BIT OF
UNCERTAINTY, ESPECIALLY WITH PRECIP CHANCES.
