KEY MESSAGES
* DRY CONDITIONS AND SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE INTO NEXT
WEEK FOR MOST OF THE REGION WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS.
DISCUSSION
THROUGH MONDAY.
FOR THE MOST PART, DRY CONDITIONS AND SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHERN NEVADA, SOUTHEASTERN CALIFORNIA, AND
NORTHWESTERN ARIZONA AS WE CONTINUE TO FIND OURSELVES UNDER DRY
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. AS WITH MOST THINGS, THERE ARE A FEW
EXCEPTIONS TO THIS STATEMENT, THE FIRST OF WHICH WILL BE THE SIERRA
CREST DURING THE AFTERNOON TODAY AND TOMORROW. OROGRAPHIC UPLIFT
WILL HELP TO INITIATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE CREST THIS
AFTERNOON WITH A SHORTWAVE ROLLING THROUGH CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
PROVIDING ADDITIONAL LIFT ON WEDNESDAY. THE SECOND EXCEPTION WILL BE
MOHAVE COUNTY ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AFTERNOONS WHERE THERE IS A 10
TO 20% CHANCE OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS THEY SEE A
WEAK AND BRIEF RELATIVE INCREASE IN MOISTURE RESULTING FROM HIGH
PRESSURE ATTEMPTING TO PUSH INTO THE AREA. DRY WESTERLY FLOW WILL
RETURN OVER THE WEEKEND, SCOURING ANY LINGERING MOISTURE FROM THE
AREA AND ENABLING DRY CONDITIONS TO STICK AROUND INTO NEXT WEEK.
