* Temperatures will hover within a few degrees of seasonal normals
  through the week with otherwise quiet conditions.

.DISCUSSION...Today through Sunday.

After a very active weekend, calmer conditions are expected for the
week ahead with dry conditions, fairly seasonable temperatures, and
generally light winds through at least mid-week. Currently,
shortwave ridging dominates the region with mostly clear skies and
light northwesterly breezes. A quick moving shortwave will push
through the Great Basin on Tuesday-Wednesday, but impacts will be
minimal across our region aside from some high clouds and minor
breezes across the southern Great Basin. Thereafter, stronger
ridging builds into the West allowing for a slow warming trend and
continued clear skies. Strengthening pressure gradients as surface
high pressure builds over the Great Basin will allow for some
increasing northerly winds down the Colorado River Valley by Friday
through the weekend, but conditions will remain dry.

.AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 00Z Forecast Package...Winds
remain light and follow typical, daily patterns. Chance of 10+ knots
is 10% or less throughout the TAF period. High clouds increase this
evening, with bases at or above 20kft.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...For the 00Z Forecast Package...Northerly breezes weaken
this evening as winds return to a light and diurnal pattern across
most of the region. These conditions continue on Monday, with the
exception of our northwestern zones where southerly gusts of 15-25
knots are anticipated in the afternoon. VFR conditions persist with
scattered to broken clouds at or above 15kft.
