.SYNOPSIS...Warmer and mainly dry conditions continue into next
week. Expect generally light winds through the weekend, gradually
increasing through the week.

&&

.UPDATE...Satellite this morning shows some cumulus starting to
develop across the Kaibab Plateau from remnant moisture. Thus,
some sprinkles may be possible later this afternoon and PoPs were
increased slightly this morning. Otherwise, warm and dry
conditions are expected for the day today.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION /601 AM MST/...Increasing heights are expected
along with some dry air aloft, bringing an end to our very active
weather week. Expect warming temperatures and generally light
winds with afternoon breezes.

Meanwhile, low pressure located just off of the central California
coast will remain nearly stationary through the weekend. This low
will weaken and open up int a trough as it starts to move to the
east on Sunday. This will tighten up the pressure gradient and
increase west to southwest winds across the region. One thing this
trough lacks as it moves through northern Arizona is moisture. Any
showers that do develop look to be high based and mainly towards the
state lines near Utah and New Mexico. Some of the higher resolution
models are a little more robust on shower activity, but keeps it
confined to the higher terrain and along the borders through the
first half of the week.

The second half of the week brings a return to more zonal flow with
a trough developing across the west. Tighter pressure gradients will
return and increased southwest winds are expected. Additionally,
this pattern looks to dry us out even more and there may be some
fire weather concerns towards the end of the week.
