.DISCUSSION...through the weekend.

This afternoons satellite imagery depicts mostly clear skies
across the region with just some passing high cirrus as the
primary storm track remains well to our north. Otherwise, pleasant
conditions continue today with seasonably mild temperatures and
generally light winds. The exception is along the Colorado River
Valley where north-south pressure gradients are inducing breezy
northerly winds near Lake Mohave and Laughlin - and will continue
through much of the week. Meanwhile, as high pressure builds into
the Western US, temperatures will increase daily and climb to
within a few degrees of daily records. This dry and mild pattern
looks to remain locked in through much of Mid- December, with no
opportunities for precipitation in the foreseeable future.
