.KEY MESSAGES...

* Above-normal temperatures and quiet conditions continue into
  next week as high pressure dominates.

&&

.DISCUSSION...through Wednesday.

Ensemble guidances is in good agreement on the development of a
ridge over the southwestern US today and sticking around through
at least the middle of next week. This feature will promote
anomalously warm temperatures, with forecast highs up to 10
degrees above normal at times. However, heat risk during this time
largely remains in the minor category, with just Death Valley in
the moderate to major categories. A weak disturbance passing
through on Sunday and Monday tries to spur a slight uptick in
winds and minor cooling, but impacts are not expected.
Precipitation chances stay below 5% across the entire area.

&&

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 18Z Forecast Package...Light
and variable winds will settle out of the east later this morning,
remaining light and generally following typical daily directional
patterns through the end of the period. VFR conditions and clear
skies continue.


For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...For the 18Z Forecast Package...Winds across the
region will remain around 5-10KT and follow typical daily
directional patterns the next 24 hours. The only exception will be
KBIH in the northern Owens Valley, where a brief period of
elevated/intermittently gusty up-valley winds is expected later
this afternoon, with gusts to around 20KT. VFR conditions and
clear skies prevail.

&&

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...Spotters are encouraged to report
any significant weather or impacts according to standard operating
procedures.
