.KEY MESSAGES...

* Breezy to gusty conditions continue throughout the upcoming week
  as temperatures slowly return to seasonable values.

.DISCUSSION...through the 4th of July.

The next few days are shaping up to be quite pleasant for late June
standards. Highs are forecast to be 8-12 degrees below normal, with
values mostly in the 90s across the Mojave Desert and 80s in the
southern Great Basin. Morning lows of 60-75 degrees across the
Mojave Desert will be refreshing. As we get into the 2nd half of the
week, we`ll see temperatures gradually warm, returning to seasonable
values by the weekend. Thanks to the lingering trough over the
Western US, elevated breezes persist throughout the upcoming week.
Strongest winds expected today, mainly along the I-40 corridor where
gusts of 30-45 mph are forecast. For the rest of the week, gusts
should generally be in the 15-35 mph range, strongest on Wednesday
and Thursday. In terms of precipitation, our area largely remains
dry through the holiday weekend. There are some low chances (10-30%)
of light showers across the southern Great Basin and central Sierra
today and Monday, but otherwise precipitation chances stay below
10%.
