.KEY MESSAGES...

* 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 06Z Forecast Package...Broken
cloud cover around 20000 ft AGL lasts through much of Tuesday before
skies clear into Tuesday night. Winds stay light and variable
through the mid morning before turning northeast but staying light.
These winds remain light but turn southwest into Tuesday night.

For the rest of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and southeast
California...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Winds stay light across
much of the region through the TAF period. The exception will be at
KBIH which sees gusty winds build from the south Tuesday afternoon
and shift northwest that night. The rest of the TAF sites will stay
below 10 kts. High clouds exit the region into Tuesday evening
leading to widespread clear skies.

&&

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