Area Forecast Discussion

.SYNOPSIS...Warm temperatures and mostly dry weather will continue
through the weekend and into next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure amplifies over eastern Arizona for the
remainder of this weekend and into the early part of next week. A
weak s/wv over the central Rockies this afternoon may lead to some
spotty VIRGA development, but that is about it, as the air mass
stabilizes after today.

A trough enters the Great Basin by the middle of next week. This
will enhance our winds a little bit and drop daytime temperatures.
However, this will still be a mainly dry pattern and temperatures
will still be above normal.

A more zonal, but warm and continued dry pattern then develops for
the end of next week and even the following weekend.
