.KEY MESSAGES...

* Periods of breezy north winds continue as temperatures gradually
  climb to well-above seasonal normals by the middle of next week.

&&


.DISCUSSION...Today through Friday.

A growing ridge of high pressure over the eastern Pacific Ocean will
continue to increase heights over the region through next week. The
resultant northwest flow aloft will maintain dry conditions, but
will bring occasional breezy north winds to the region as shortwaves
move along the flow. Temperatures rise to 10-15 degrees above
seasonal normals by late-week. On Thursday, December 11th and
Friday, December 12th, the record high for Las Vegas is 72
degrees and 74 degrees, with a 60-70% chance and 40-50% chance of
tying or breaking that record, respectively. Greater chances exist
of breaking record warm lows as well. For more details, see the
CLIMATE section below.
