SYNOPSIS

Cool and breezy conditions will stick around today with a gradual warming trend forecast through the week. Dry conditions and generally light winds also expected through the entire forecast period.

DISCUSSION

High pressure will once again become the dominating driver of our weather conditions through the next several days. Although daytime highs will remain on the cooler side today, as we progress through the week, we'll once again see afternoon temperatures reach 5-15 degrees above normal. Our main reminder that it is truly still winter will be our overnight lows that reach below freezing for many locations (generally areas above 4500') across northern Arizona. Otherwise, there isn't much to talk about weather wise. We'll keep our eyes peeled for any changes in the long term forecast.
