...COOLING AND DRIER INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...
...HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS BY THE END OF THE UPCOMING WEEK...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (FRI AM - THU AM)...

Troffing is beginning to develop along the west coast as high 
pressure over the lower Colorado River basin begins to move off 
toward the east to its eventual location over the southern Great 
Plains states for the first half of next week. This will allow for 
temperatures to finally cool to near or below normal for this time 
of year. Moisture will also erode as the overall flow turns to a 
more southwesterly direction. Look for chances for precip to 
continue over portions of northern/eastern NV today...becoming 
mainly dry for this weekend into next week.

The cooler and drier weather will continue into the middle of next 
week...when models are starting to show the high pressure cell 
returning to it typical summertime location near the 4-Corners 
region. This will allow for temperatures to bump up above normal by 
the end of the upcoming week.
