.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1017 PM MST Sun Dec 7 2025

No changes from previous forecast packages as a quiet weather
pattern persists over the Desert Southwest through the work week

Strong upper level high pressure over the eastern Pacific will
continue to promote dry northwesterly flow over the Borderland
Region. All in all, expect quiet and fair weather conditions through
the work week. High temperatures will continue to increase each day
with highs becoming 10-17 degrees above average Wednesday through
Friday. The warmest temperatures will be on Thursday, with near
record values across the desert lowlands. Cloud coverage will be a
minimum with instances of high level cirrus from time to time. Winds
each afternoon will be light to low-end breezy, typical diurnal wind
flow regime.

Quiet and fair weather conditions continue this weekend. Model
guidance is hinting at a cold front moving in from the east during
the weekend timeframe.
