.KEY MESSAGES...

* Northwest flow aloft will continue to bring periods of north
  winds and cooler temperatures to the region through the week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Today through Sunday.

Shortwave pushing through the region will bring gusty north winds to
the region, with speeds generally between 10 and 20 mph. The
exception is the lower Colorado River Valley, where topographic
enhancement will allow for speeds between 25 and 35 mph, resulting
in wave heights greater than 2 feet on Lake Mohave. Cannot rule out
an occasional gust at or in excess of 40 mph, but these are not
expected to be widespread in space or time, so no wind-related
headline issued. Decreasing wind speeds and clearing skies will
allow for desert valleys to cool off tonight into Tuesday morning.
As a result, Freeze Warnings are in effect for the lower elevations
of eastern Inyo County (Death Valley National Park, Shoshone,
Tecopa), northeastern Clark County (Moapa, Mesquite, Bunkerville,
Overton), and central and southern Mohave County (Kingman, Hualapai
Valley) to mark their first freeze of the season. Another shortwave
will drop through the southern Great Basin and Mojave Desert on
Wednesday, increasing cloud cover and relative humidity across the
region. Expect a return of gusty north winds (15-25 mph) Wednesday
and Thursday as the associated cold front passes through the
forecast area. Temperatures will gradually increase late-week into
the weekend, reaching above-normal values by Friday.
