.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure lingering over Arizona will result in a few
rain and snow showers over Mohave County today, with dry conditions
elsewhere. Temperatures will rise beginning today as milder Pacific
air moves into the region.

&&

.DISCUSSION...through the middle of next week.

Broad cut off low continues to slowly exit our area as it moves
from Arizona into New Mexico this evening. Some light wrap around
showers continue to spiral into northern and eastern Mohave
County, with dry and seasonable conditions elsewhere. As the low
moves eastward tonight, high pressure ridging will build Thursday
and Friday allowing for dry conditions areawide to resume along
with light winds and temperatures remaining near normal.

Over the weekend, a series of atmospheric rivers will impact
northern California with light precipitation spilling as far
south as the Sierra. The more notable impact with this will be the
influx of warm Pacific air that will spread across the region.
While precipitation will be limited to the Sierra, the very mild
nature of the airmass will allow snow levels to climb above 9000
feet. Meanwhile, elsewhere temperatures will rise several degrees
above normal. The warming trend will continue into early next week
when temperatures will likely eclipse 70 in Las Vegas, and
approach or exceed 80 across the lower elevations of the Colorado
River Valley and Death Valley.

By midweek, forecast guidance remains unclear on how to handle the
troughing along the West Coast, both with how far south the bring
the trough and how quickly to swing it inland. Regardless, the
general trajectory would not be especially wet for most of the
area, though could result in beneficial precipitation in the
Sierra and Owens Valley, and to a lesser extent the Southern Great
Basin and Spring Mountains. Something to watch for now as it`s
over a week out, but remains our only hope for precipitation in
the next 7-10 days.
