.DISCUSSION...
High and dry, light wind and warm conditions, continue Saturday, but
the upper ridge departs to the east Sunday as the next Pacific trough
pushes in to bring a breezy to marginally windy afternoon. Most will
remain dry, but there are slight chances for rain/snow over the high
Gila region Sunday afternoon. RH will trend higher with SW winds in
the 20 to 30 mph range. Good ventilation Saturday, will improve to
excellent Sunday. Monday will be between systems, with cool and
dry conditions, with lighter winds, and somewhat elevated RH. Tuesday
and Wednesday the next Pacific storm system approaches and passes.
Precipitation potential west on Tuesday, and all areas Wednesday, with
more clouds, cooler temperatures, and higher RH. This second storm exits,
with drier and cool conditions returning midday Thursday. Friday, through
next weekend, look dry and seasonal.
