SYNOPSIS

Fair weather will persist over the region into early next week. Expect temperatures near or just above average for much of the week, with well above average temperatures for the weekend.

DISCUSSION

High pressure over the southwest United States will be in control of our weather through the weekend. Arizona will be on the east side of the ridge through Friday, keeping our area in a dry mostly northwest flow aloft. With the dry air in place, overnight lows will continue to be quite cold the next couple of nights, but daytime temperatures will recover the near or slightly above normal. By the weekend - models are in good agreement that the ridge will move over the state and bring daytime highs closer to 10 degrees above normal.
