.SYNOPSIS...Above normal temperatures and dry conditions will be
the main story for the forecast period.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High pressure continues to dominate the west coast,
allowing daytime highs to land 5-15 degrees above normal and dry
conditions to persist. Although the position of the high will
wobble around throughout the forecast period, Arizona will remain
under its power through at least the next 7 to 8 days. We`ll also
continue to see gusty northeast winds overnight along and
downwind of higher terrain, especially along the Mogollon Rim and
Bradshaw Mountains. Wind gusts could reach 25 to 35 mph. Beyond
our forecast period, model guidance is vaguely hinting at a shift
in our synoptic pattern, but solutions are all over the place. For
now, the only thing worth saying is a potential pattern shift
could return at the end of next week, but confidence is low at
this time.
