.KEY MESSAGES...

* Quiet weather with above normal temperatures anticipated through
  the work week.

* A trough approaches this weekend, producing some modest increase
  in winds and cooling temperatures slightly.

.DISCUSSION...through Monday.

A couple of minor disturbances will pass through the region this
week with really nothing more than some passing mid and high level
clouds. Otherwise, high pressure will be the dominant feature
allowing for increasing temperatures through the remainder of the
week. High are expected to peak mid-week with readings roughly 6 to
8 degrees above normal. No significant winds are expected except for
some daily afternoon breezes across the western Mojave Desert.

A more impactful trough will approach the area late in the week with
increasing afternoon southwest winds along with slightly cooler
temperatures. Highest winds will likely occur Saturday and Sunday
with most areas seeing afternoon gusts between 30-40 mph.
Precipitation chances at this point look rather low as surface
moisture remains sparse. Temperatures are expected to cool through
the weekend with readings by Sunday and Monday dropping about 4-6
degrees, putting highs fairly close to this time of year.
