1000 AM MST Fri Apr 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Warm and dry weather will persist into the weekend.
Expect generally light southwest breezes each afternoon.

&&

.UPDATE...Dry and warm temperatures under occasional high clouds
are expected for today. No changes needed to the forecast this
morning.

.PREV DISCUSSION /425 AM MST/...Above normal hghts will persist
into the middle of next week, only fluctuating slightly over the
coming days. We expect above normal daytime temperatures to
continue, with occasional high clouds from time to time.

This is not a particularly windy pattern, just normal, diurnal
southwesterlies each afternoon, generally less than 20 mph. By next
week, especially the middle and latter parts of next week, a series
of troughs begin to break down the hghts over Arizona, bringing
enhanced winds and a cooling trend. Chances for showers may also
develop with these troughs, but that is out at day 7 or 8 right
now, we will wait and see.
