.DISCUSSION...

Quiet weather pattern with mostly clear skies, slowly warming
temperatures, and light winds of 5 to 15 MPH with occasional
gusts up to 25 MPH Continues through Friday. Winds will shift
slowly from the NW Tuesday to be out of the south by Friday. Day
time temperatures will range in the low to mid 70s with overnight
lows in the mid 40s. By the weekend an upper level cutoff low near
southern California will try to move NE into southern Nevada,
models are uncertain how far north this low will get, but it may
be close enough to generate a low 10% to 20% chance of showers and
isolated thunderstorms Sunday.
