.SYNOPSIS...Warming temperatures and continued dry conditions are
expected this weekend and into next week as a strong ridge of
high pressure builds into Arizona.

&&

.DISCUSSION...High clouds gradually decrease through this morning,
with warm conditions and sunny skies going into to the afternoon.
Today will be the first day of a significant warmup as a ridge of
high pressure builds in Arizona.

A 580 dam ridge builds into Arizona by the start of the week, leading
to highs rising well-above normal for this time of year. Temperatures
look to peak on Monday and Tuesday, with highs around 75-90 deg F
across the lower elevations and 55-70 deg F across the higher terrain
(nearly 15-20 degrees above normal).

With the storm track remaining largely to the north, dry conditions
and light afternoon breezes also look to continue through the duration
of the forecast period. Much of the global guidance does hint at
the potential for a storm system to move into Arizona, but this is
in the days 8-10 period. Thus, confidence is too low to get into
any specifics at this time.
