.DISCUSSION...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENING OVER THE GREAT
BASIN REGION THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL AID IN
PULLING MOISTURE INTO COCHISE AND GRAHAM COUNTIES. THIS INFLUX IN
MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO MORE AFTERNOON AND EVENING CLOUDINESS...AS
WELL AS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF DRY THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK. THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP SUNDAY WILL BE MAINLY DRY
THUNDERSTORMS WITH ERRATIC AND GUSTY WINDS. THE NATURE OF THESE
STORMS WILL EVOLVE INTO A MIX OF WET AND DRY STORMS AS THE WEEK
PROGRESSES...AS AN EASTERLY FLOW REINFORCES MOISTURE INTO THE AREA.

DRIER AIR WILL THEN WORK ITS WAY BACK INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST
AND NORTHWEST DURING THE LATTER PORTIONS OF NEXT WEEK.
