.KEY MESSAGES...

* Periods of breezy north winds continue as temperatures gradually
  climb to well-above seasonal normals by the middle of next week.

.DISCUSSION...Today through Thursday.

A growing ridge of high pressure over the eastern Pacific Ocean will
continue to increase heights over the region through next week. The
resultant northwest flow aloft will maintain dry conditions, but
will bring occasional breezy north winds to the region as shortwaves
move along the flow. Temperatures rise to 10-15 degrees above
seasonal normals by late-week.
