...SCATTERED SHOWERS TODAY ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN/EASTERN NV TODAY...
...TURNING WARMER AND DRY THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...

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

The slow moving upr low has reached near the CA/NV/AZ triple point 
this morning with the majority of the precip downstream of the area 
across the Desert Southwest. A cluster of showers is currently 
rotating around this feature on the northwest side of the primary 
circulation...moving across southern NV with precip gauges over the 
past 6-hours showing amounts remaining under 0.10-inch. 

By this time tomorrow...the upr low will be located just south of 
the 4-Corners region with an offshore upr ridge nudging toward the 
west coast. This feature will be the prominent weather driver 
through the upcoming weekend with dry conditions and above normal 
temperatures with afternoon anomalies ranging anywhere from plus 5- 
to as much as plus 20-degF over seasonal normals...peaking around 
Saturday.

A weak area of low pressure will make its way toward the northern CA 
coast on Sunday...which should flatten the upr ridge a bit at least 
temporarily. No precip is anticipated with this feature.
