.KEY MESSAGES...

* Periods of breezy north winds will continue as temperatures rise
  to above-normal levels over the weekend and into early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Today through Wednesday.

Breezy northerly winds will continue down the Colorado River Valley
through this afternoon as a shortwave pushes eastward into central
Arizona. These winds will produce wave heights between 1.5 and 3
feet on Lake Mohave and Lake Havasu today, and caution should be
exercised if recreating on those lakes. Otherwise, a building high
pressure ridge over the eastern Pacific will allow temperatures to
gradually increase this weekend and early next week, with forecast
highs climbing to between 10 and 12 degrees above seasonal normals
by Wednesday.  No precipitation is forecast across our area through
the middle of next week.
