&& .DISCUSSION...
-- Changed Discussion --
Today, a weak s/wv will interact with our former ridge, now displaced into New Mexico. Some mid-level moisture is noted advecting into eastern Arizona this morning. This will allow for a slight increase in PW, which may be all this s/wv needs to generate some isolated convection this afternoon. Nothing impactful is expected. That is about all the action we see this forecast period, aside from another warming trend due mid-week. Current solutions have us right on the border of another EHW, Tuesday looks marginal, but one may be needed for Wednesday. We will wait another day on this, potentially issuing heat products for next week Sunday night, coinciding with our weekly partner emails. That`s it for now, in summary, seasonable and mainly dry through Monday, then heating up again.
