.SYNOPSIS...Expect dry conditions and warming daytime temperatures
well into next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Arizona will be entrenched in a dry northwest flow
over the coming week. High pressure aloft, currently located well off
the southern California coast, will gradually approach Arizona
over the coming days becoming established over California by next
Saturday or Sunday. This is a classic dry/mild late fall pattern
which will result in warming daytime temperatures through
Wednesday or Thursday before plateauing. High temperatures are
expected to climb 10 to 15 degrees above average by Wednesday.
Otherwise, daytime breezes will be light from a northwesterly
direction with a few periods of high clouds as weak passing
disturbances brush Arizona. Another feature of note, with dry
conditions and mainly clear skies strong nighttime radiational
cooling will result in local drainage breezes of 10 to 20 mph
south of the Mogollon Rim.

At this time there is no breakdown in this pattern in site.
