Area Forecast Discussion

946 PM PDT Wed Sep 30 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

* Mild weather and warming temperatures are expected through the
  weekend into early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...through Tuesday.

A broad ridge of high pressure is building in over the Desert
Southwest in the wake of the tropical moisture-infused trough that
brought us all the active weather over the past few day. We will
see a big bump in temperatures today under clear skies, returning
the forecast area to above normal temperatures. After today, there
will be a slow warming trend, peaking over the weekend with high
temperatures near 10 degrees above normal by Sunday.

Early next week, a shortwave associated with a dampening trough
of low pressure in the eastern Pacific may influence temperatures
Monday and Tuesday, but there has been a weakening trend in
guidance so confidence is low in this feature`s development at
this time.
