...DISCUSSION FROM RNOFWFVEF...

A DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND. STRONG WINDS WILL DECREASE LATER THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL
BE A BIT LIGHTER THURSDAY BUT ARE EXPECTED TO REACH CRITICAL LEVELS
AGAIN ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PLATEAU AND NORTHWEST DESERTS OF ARIZONA.
MOST OF THE AREA WILL SEE RELATIVE HUMIDITY BELOW 15 PERCENT EACH
AFTERNOON WITH POOR TO FAIR RECOVERY AT NIGHT.


...DISCUSSION FROM LAXFWFSGX...


A RATHER DEEP TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AND
DROP SOUTH ALONG THE WEST COAST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. COOLER
CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP AS A RESULT...WITH THE MARINE LAYER
DEEPENING TO AROUND 3500 FEET BY THURSDAY MORNING. SOME SPOTTY
DRIZZLE CAN BE EXPECTED EARLY THURSDAY. STRONG WESTERLY WINDS
MOUNTAINS AND  DESERTS...MAINLY THROUGH MOUNTAIN PASSES AND INTO
ADJACENT DESERTS ...AND DURING THE AFTERNOONS. THIS TROUGH WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH  AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH MOSTLY BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND  GENERALLY HIGHER THAN NORMAL HUMIDITIES
THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY  NEXT WEEK.


...DISCUSSION FROM PHXFWFPSR...


A LARGE AND UNSEASONABLY STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED ALONG
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY TONIGHT
INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL KEEP A DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IN PLACE
ACROSS THE REGION EACH DAY...FOR GENERALLY SUNNY DAYS AND CLEAR
NIGHTS. SOME OF THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WITH BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED. GUSTY
WINDS TO NEAR 30 MPH OVER SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA WILL LEAD TO AN
ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE DANGER...AND CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER THRESHOLDS
WILL BE APPROACHED. LESS WIND IS EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
ALTHOUGH IT WILL REMAIN BREEZY EACH AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
HIGHER TERRAIN. MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL LOWER INTO SINGLE DIGITS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA EACH DAY WITH FAIR TO POOR OVERNIGHT
RECOVERIES EXPECTED. HIGH TEMPERATURES EACH DAY WILL STAY NEAR
SEASONAL NORMALS.
