.DISCUSSION...As has been the case over the last few days, the main
story through early next week will be a series of weak cold
fronts that will keep temperatures from getting more than 5 to 10
degrees above normal and allow some rebound in minimum humidities.
That will change by midweek next week as a strong area of high
pressure shifts over the Interior West, bringing hot and dry
conditions to the area.

High based showers and thunderstorms will bring the threat for
gusty and erratic microburst winds, particularly Saturday
afternoon and evening. Good to excellent mixing is expected
through at least Tuesday.
