.DISCUSSION...through next weekend.

A ridge of high pressure building across the western US early this
week will allow for good conditions to persist across the region
through the week.  The exception will be occasional periods of
increased winds along the lower Colorado River Valley, where a north-
south pressure gradient will induce northerly winds across Lakes
Mohave and Havasu.  Heights will also continue to build through mid-
week, allowing for temperatures to rise to within a few degrees of
daily records. See the climate section below for more details.
Otherwise, this dry and mild pattern is expected to persist through
mid-December, with no significant opportunities for precipitation
expected.
