.DISCUSSION...through Saturday.

Breezy north winds will linger down the Colorado River Valley again
today as ridging builds over the area. A Lake Wind Advisory has been
issued for Lake Mohave due to 15 to 25 mph sustained northerly winds
resulting in waves up to 3 feet. This advisory will go into effect
at 4 am PST/5 am MST and will run through 4 pm PST/5 pm MST this
afternoon. The aforementioned ridge will persist through the middle
of the week, allowing for dry conditions and warmer than normal
temperatures to continue across the region through the middle of the
week.

Our streak of warm, tranquil weather will come to an end as we head
into the second half of the week and a trough moves through the
area. While there is still some uncertainty regarding the finer
details of the forecast, ensembles are slowly converging on a
singular solution. The latest guidance shows gusty southwesterly
winds picking up on Thursday as this system approaches the West
Coast. Precipitation may begin as early as Thursday for the western
portions of our forecast area, spreading across southeastern
California into southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona as early as
Thursday afternoon. Precipitation chances will continue through
Friday as the trough pushes into the region with chances slowly
tapering off over the weekend as trough moves through and clears
out. Exact precipitation amounts will depend on the trajectory of
the moisture plume associated with the trough as well as how much of
this moisture is intercepted by mountains. In addition to gusty
winds and increased precipitation chances, this system will also
bring cooler temperatures to the region with temperatures dropping
around 10 to 15 degrees from Thursday to Friday as this trough moves
into the area.
