.DISCUSSION...through next weekend.

Fairly deep trough encompassing most of the Western US is keeping
temperatures seasonably cool today, with high temps this afternoon
expected to top out 10-15 degrees below normal. This trough will
gradually weaken through midweek with heights gradually rising.
Thereafter, low amplitude ridge will hold across the Southwestern
US while the storm track remains active across the PacNW. With
increasing heights in the coming days and the storm track focused
well to our north, conditions will remain dry through next weekend
with no hints at any monsoonal moisture across our region yet.

Meanwhile, with rising heights temperatures will be on a gradual
warming trend, with highs returning to near normal by midweek, and
climbing above normal by late week and into next week. Despite the
building ridge and warming temperatures, heat risk remains pretty
firmly in the moderate range through early next week, which should
limit the necessity for any heat related headlines for the time
being.
