UPPER LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHOWERS CONTINUES TO MOVE FROM SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA INTO ARIZONA THE PRECIPITATION HAS STALLED. THERE WILL STILL
SCATTERED SHOWERS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...
BUT AMOUNTS SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT. DRIER CONDITIONS EXPECTED MONDAY
AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE AREA. ANOTHER SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO
MOVE INTO SOUTHERN NEVADA TUESDAY WITH INCREASING PRECIPITATION CHANCES.
THIS SYSTEM IS MUCH COLDER AND PRECIPITATION AT THE BURN SITE WILL FALL
AS SNOW. THERE WILL ALSO BE THE POTENTIAL OF STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS
