.SYNOPSIS...
Very warm and dry conditions will last into the coming weekend
with periods of high clouds. Lower desert high temperatures will
reach into the middle to upper 90s each day, or roughly 10 degrees
above normal. Some modest cooling is possible this weekend, but
above normal temperatures should still persist.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
A very warm week is on tap with little affect from any weather
systems at least through Friday. Current IR imagery shows skies
have temporarily cleared as the weak shortwave that affected the
region yesterday has exited well to the east. Under sunny skies
and slightly rising heights aloft, temperatures today will warm
another couple degrees with highs into the middle 90s. Another
weak southern stream shortwave will approach from the southwest
tonight allowing for another round of high cirrus Tuesday into
Wednesday. The clouds are not anticipated to impact temperatures
either day as highs again reach into the middle to possibly upper
90s.
Once the weak shortwave passes by to our southeast Wednesday
night, a building ridge will take over across the Interior West.
This will be in response to a deep mostly cut-off low that forms
well off the West Coast by Wednesday. There is still quite a bit
of uncertainty with the eventual track of this low, but models are
in good agreement the low will stay off the coast at least
through Thursday, possibly even Friday. Model spread increases
thereafter with the track of the low fairly uncertain.
Temperatures through the end of the work week will barely budge,
but likely top out on Thursday as the ridge axis passes through
the region. Some cooling is likely going into the weekend, but to
what degree is hard to say as it depends on the track of the cut-
off low. Eventually we should see a return to a Western U.S.
trough and ridging across the Central U.S., but this may not be
until Sunday or next Monday. This pattern change should bring
temperatures back closer to seasonal normals, but also bring a
return to breezy to windy conditions.

CWOP PROGRAM
The Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) is a private-public partnership with three main goals: 1) to collect weather data contributed by citizens; 2) to make these data available for weather services and homeland security; and 3) to provide feedback to the data contributors so that they have the tools to check and improve their data quality. In fact, the web address, wxqa.com, stands for weather quality assurance.
