.SYNOPSIS...Expect dry conditions and much warmer temperatures for
the coming week and even into next week. Winds will be light.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Ridging aloft steadily builds heading into next week
with temperatures soaring well above normal. Low level easterlies
will persist through early Monday, but the wind is losing its bite
as inversions are starting to break this afternoon.

500mb hghts for the next week will vary between 570dm-584dm, the
coldest mid-level temperatures will be near the Four Corners. This
means temperatures will rise, with many locations 10-15+ degrees
above normal for much of next week. A backdoor front may bring some
cooling to the northeast zones Thursday, but it is short-lived.

Winds will be generally light in this pattern and there is not any
precipitation in sight. Possibly a minor break down and some cooling
outside this forecast period, but low confidence at this time.
