.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.
