SYNOPSIS
WARM TEMPERATURES AND MOSTLY DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.
DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE AMPLIFIES OVER EASTERN ARIZONA FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THIS WEEKEND AND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. A
WEAK S/WV OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON MAY LEAD TO SOME
SPOTTY VIRGA DEVELOPMENT, BUT THAT IS ABOUT IT, AS THE AIR MASS
STABILIZES AFTER TODAY.
A TROUGH ENTERS THE GREAT BASIN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS
WILL ENHANCE OUR WINDS A LITTLE BIT AND DROP DAYTIME TEMPERATURES.
HOWEVER, THIS WILL STILL BE A MAINLY DRY PATTERN AND TEMPERATURES
WILL STILL BE ABOVE NORMAL.
A MORE ZONAL, BUT WARM AND CONTINUED DRY PATTERN THEN DEVELOPS FOR
THE END OF NEXT WEEK AND EVEN THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND.
