...DISCUSSION FROM RNOFWFVEF...

ANOTHER WEAK STORM WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS UTAH ON SUNDAY. THIS
SYSTEM WILL ALLOW FOR INCREASED NORTH WINDS OVER THE DISTRICT ON
MONDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY. HOWEVER DRY
CONDITIONS ARE LOOKED FOR DURING THE WEEK AS A PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM SETTLES OVER OREGON AND WASHINGTON BY TUESDAY AND CONTINUES
INTO THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL ALSO CREATE BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE DISTRICT THROUGH THE WEEK.


...DISCUSSION FROM LAXFWFSGX...


HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC THROUGH
MONDAY...BRINGING MUCH WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS A SHALLOWER MARINE LAYER ALONG THE COAST.
DAYTIME HUMIDITY VALUES WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER TEENS AND SINGLE
DIGITS ON MONDAY. A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTHEAST
WINDS WILL ALSO DEVELOP ALONG THE COASTAL FOOTHILLS MONDAY
MORNING...WITH LOCAL GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE IN THE FAVORED
SPOTS.  THESE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH THE VERY WARM
AND DRY CONDITIONS TO ELEVATE THE WILDFIRE DANGER ON MONDAY.


...DISCUSSION FROM PHXFWFPSR...


RIDGING MOVING ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WILL KEEP THE WEATHER DRY
ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY. LOWER DESERT TEMPERATURES WILL
RISE INTO THE MID UPPER 90S ON SUNDAY...AND TO NEAR 100 ON MONDAY.
WINDS WILL REMAIN MOSTLY LIGHT...WITH THE USUAL DIURNAL TRENDS
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. ON MONDAY...GUSTY NORTHERLY TO NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS WILL THEN DEVELOP ACROSS THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER VALLEY...AND
OVER JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK AS A WEAK SURFACE FRONT MOVES INTO
THE REGION. HOWEVER...WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BECOME STRONG ENOUGH
TO RESULT IN CRITICAL FIRE DANGER LEVELS...AT THIS TIME.
