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

&&

.DISCUSSION...A very minor s/wv will exit the eastern border of
Arizona early this morning, dragging a small, mid-level cloud shield
and about 16 drops of rain with it. Hghts rebound in the wake of
this wave, continuing right on through the weekend and into early
next week. Expect warm and dry conditions as a result, with
generally light winds for the next several days.

Later next week, guidance seems fairly consistent with moving the
ridge position eastward and allowing for a series of low pressure
systems to move into the region. This would mean steadily increasing
southwest winds, cooler temperature and a chance of showers. Still a
little ways out, but something to keep an eye on.

Variable wind 5 kts or less through 16Z, then mainly SW 5-15 kts.

OUTLOOK...Sunday 21/12Z through Tuesday 23/12Z...VFR conditions
