...SCATTERED SHOWERS/T-STORM COVERAGE REMAINS LIMITED INTO NEXT 
WEEK...

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

High pressure will remain anchored near the 4-Corners region through 
the rest of this week into next week...as an area of low pressure 
currently spinning west of the CA/OR border offshore in the vicinity 
of 42N/130W eventually lifts off toward the northeast this weekend. 
However...reinforcing disturbances making their way out of the Gulf 
of Alaska will continue the general troffing over the northeast 
Pacific. As a result...expect dry southwest flow to be the rule 
across much of the region. Any higher moisture content air will 
remain over eastern NV and southeastern CA...and this is where the 
best opportunity for afternoon/early evening showers and 
thunderstorms will reside. However...with available moisture off the 
peaks from earlier this week...overall coverage looks to be less 
than what was recently observed.

Freezing levels will fluctuate near present levels between 14000- 
and 18000-feet through the period with the gradient continuing from 
northwest to southeast.
