.KEY MESSAGES...

* Outside of breezy northerly winds in the Colorado River Valley,
  dry and mild conditions with warmer than normal temperatures
  will continue into next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...through next Thursday.

Breezy north winds will linger down the Colorado River Valley for a 
few more days with gusts peaking in the 20 to 30 mph range. 
Otherwise, weather across the region will remain dry and mild with 
warmer than normal temperatures continuing into next week as ridging 
persists over the region. A series of shortwave troughs embedded 
within the upper-level flow will move through the region beginning 
tomorrow, bringing periods of increased cloud cover to the region. 
These shortwaves will also cause temperatures to decrease a few 
degrees as we see 500 mb heights decrease slightly and the upper-
level flow becomes more zonal. However, even with this slight decrease,
temperatures will remain well above normal through next week.
