.DISCUSSION...Today through Saturday.

Dry southwest flow aloft will continue through the remainder of the
weekend into the start of next week, resulting in persistent breezy
afternoons. In addition to southwest breezes between 15 and 25 mph,
the trough across the western CONUS has allowed heights aloft to
drop, resulting in below-normal temperatures. This trough will
remain situated across the western CONUS, but a ridge of high
pressure across the southern CONUS will begin to retrograde westward
through the work week. The ridge`s westward progression will allow
heights to rise over the Desert Southwest, resulting in at-or-above
normal temperatures returning to the region as soon as Monday.
Although temperatures will rise to slightly above normal, the
HeatRisk will remain at Minor to Moderate through the week.

As the high continues to retrograde west, it will gradually start to
pull some monsoonal moisture up the Colorado River Valley. However,
the aforementioned western CONUS trough will contend with the
ridge`s westward progression, working to prevent moisture from
making it much further west than Arizona. PWATs will increase to
around 0.50" across our far southern zones on Tuesday, surging to
around 1.00" on Thursday in the lower Colorado River Valley. As a
result, slight PoPs (15-30 percent) exist for Mohave County Tuesday
through Saturday. Although gusty outflow winds will likely be the
primary threat, some storms would be capable of producing very heavy
rainfall. Elsewhere, expect dry conditions and mostly sunny skies.
