...MAINLY DRY WITH WARMING CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEK...

.METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (MON AM - SUN AM)...

High pressure continues downstream over the central portion of the 
US...while broad troffing resides over the northeast Pacific this 
morning. This has resulted in dry southwest flow across much of the 
region. Only opportunity for showers/t-storms during the period will 
be the next couple days over far eastern NV where just enough 
moisture and instability are present. Elsewhere...look for dry 
conditions with seasonably warm temperatures to continues.

Through the rest of the week...the high pressure cell will build 
westward and situate itself near the 4-Corners region and then 
eventually closer to the CA/NV/AZ triple point with 500-mb heights 
near the core of the feature reaching 6000-meters. This will result 
in warming conditions with well above normal temperatures 
anticipated.

Freezing levels currently ranging from 14000-feet northwest to 
almost 17000-feet southeast will gradually increase through the week 
and peak on Friday from 17000- to 19000-feet.
