...New AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 200 PM MST Sat Nov 9 2024

Warm and dry weather will be the norm for the upcoming week with
just a couple of breezy days Tuesday and Friday expected. High
temperatures for the work week will generally be in the 70s for
the lowlands with a few lower 80s possible by Friday. The next
storm system looks to start affecting the region next weekend.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 200 PM MST Sat Nov 9 2024

As powerful storm system that affected the Rockies moves towards
the Great Lakes, upper flow over the Borderland starts to turn
more WSW. This will help to warm temperatures back above normal by
Monday and continue through much of the work week.

Not much to talk about through Monday with the warming temps and
light winds. Models have come into line with handling of next
trough moving across the Rockies Tue. Previous run of the GFS had
cutoff low off Baja remaining out that way as trough with the main
flow moved through then the cutoff lifted up and brought precip to
the region midweek. Now the GFS looks like the EC with the cutoff
being phased with the main flow and no moisture to work with as it
moves through. The only impacts from this system will be a low end
breezy day Tue and a subtle cool down for Wed. Highs will
generally be in the 70s during this time with overnight lows
cooling down into the 30s to lower 40s.

The next Pacific storm system starts to move onshore late Thu and
increases the southwest flow over the region. Temperatures will
again rebound with some lower 80s possible by Friday for the lower
elevations. EC supports these warm temperatures as well as
ensemble means. NBM temps looked a few degrees too cool during
this time and raised them up.
