.KEY MESSAGES...

* Smoke from nearby fires will result in hazy skies at times today
  and Saturday, but significant or widespread smoke impacts near
  the surface are not expected.

* Hot and dry conditions will continue through the weekend and into
  early next week as ridging persists across the region.

.DISCUSSION...Today through the Middle of Next Week.

Winds will remain light from the south to southwest today with
high pressure sitting over the area. This will reduce significant
advection of smoke from fires in Nye and Lincoln counties. The
HRRR shows high concentrations of smoke through southern Nevada
into southwest Utah, but no visibility reductions of significant
near-surface smoke far from the actual fires. Expect hazy skies at
times today and Saturday through southern Nevada into northern
Mohave County

A ridge of high pressure centered over southern California will
build over the region through the weekend. This will result in
gradually increasing temperatures. The hottest days should be Sunday
and Monday when heights reach +1.0 to +1.5 sigmas. Above normal
temperatures are likely through the period, with high temperatures
climbing 6-8 degrees above normal Sunday and Monday. Widespread
Moderate (Level 2 or 4) HeatRisk is forecasted this weekend and
Monday with isolated areas of Major (Level 3 of 4) HeatRisk in the
desert valleys of Inyo County into southern Nevada on Sunday. Anyone
with outdoor plans should be prepared for hot temperatures,
especially if they are sensitive to heat.

The ridge will slowly retreat and weaken next week after Monday.
Temperatures will cool off a bit each day in response. In addition,
on Tuesday a slight increase in moisture is expected. This moisture
will not result in any precipitation but will help cool temperatures
and also reduce any fire danger due to extremely dry conditions. On
Wednesday, high temperatures will have fallen back closer to normal
for this time of the year. Any precipitation chance is now not
expected until Thursday or later when better moisture and an
easterly shortwave could bring low chances for precipitation.
