EXPECT CONTINUED DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS TO PERSIST OVER THE

WEST ALLOWING FOR MOISTURE TO RETURN TO THE REGION, THOUGH NO
PRECIP WILL BE EXPECTED DUE TO THE LACK OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT.
THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN WILL BE LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY

MONITOR THIS POSSIBILITY AS THIS IS STILL A FEW DAYS OUT.
