Arizona will be entrenched under a dry northwest flow aloft into next weekend. High pressure located well off the southern California coast today, will gradually approach Arizona over the coming days becoming established over California by next Friday or Saturday. This classic late fall pattern will deliver dry weather and warming daytime temperatures. High temperatures are expected to climb 10 to 15 degrees above average by Wednesday and Thursday. Otherwise, daytime breezes will be light from a northwesterly direction with a few periods of high clouds as weak passing disturbances brush Arizona. Dry conditions and mainly clear skies will result in strong nighttime radiational cooling which will result in local drainage breezes of 10 to 20 mph south of the Mogollon Rim. No significant change in the current pattern is anticipated through at least early next week. && .AVIATION...Monday 08/00Z through Tuesday 09/00Z...VFR conditions forecast through the period.
