* DRY CONDITIONS AND A WARMING TREND ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MIDWEEK AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION.
* INCREASING CONFIDENCE FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY

DISCUSSION
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN ACROSS THE REGION. A STRENGTHENING SURFACE HIGH OVER
THE GREAT BASIN WILL LEAD TO BREEZY CONDITIONS TODAY AND TOMORROW
ACROSS THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY BUT WIND SPEEDS WILL REMAIN BELOW
ANY HEADLINE LEVELS. MEANWHILE, TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY RETURN
TO ABOVE NORMAL BY TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY.
MORE CONSEQUENTIAL WEATHER IS EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS THE REMAINS OF HURRICANE PRISCILLA INTERACT WITH AN
APPROACHING PACIFIC TROUGH. MODEL GUIDANCE IN THE PAST 24 HOURS
HAS TRENDED MORE TOWARDS KEEPING THE REMAINS OF THE TROPICAL
SYSTEM SOMEWHAT COHESIVE WHILE TRACKING NORTHWEST ALONG THE BAJA
COAST BEFORE BEING ABSORBED WITHIN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT.
THIS RESULTS IN INCREASING PRECIPITATION CHANCES AS EARLY AS
THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-15. THE BEST AND
MOST WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION CHANCES REMAIN FAVORED FOR FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY, WITH BETTER AGREEMENT ON DRIER AIR SWEEPING IN WITH
THE TROUGH BY SUNDAY. OVERALL, HIGHEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND
HEAVIEST TOTALS REMAIN FAVORED ACROSS AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF
I-15, ESPECIALLY NORTHWEST ARIZONA. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
ANOMALIES OF 300% OF NORMAL OR GREATER BY FRIDAY, VERY HIGH
PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCY WILL BE A CONCERN AND MAY RESULT IN
FLOODING IMPACTS. MEANWHILE, TEMPERATURES WILL TREND DOWNWARD
THURSDAY ONWARD THANKS TO INCREASING MOISTURE AND CLOUD COVER, AS
WELL AS FALLING HEIGHT AS THE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH OVER THE
WEEKEND.
