.DISCUSSION...
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL MAINTAIN DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE REGION NEXT FEW DAYS. HOWEVER...AN AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING WESTWARD INTO TEXAS MAY BRING A SHALLOW
LAYER OF MOIST AIR AS FAR WEST AS SOUTHERN OTERO AND EL PASO
COUNTIES OVERNIGHT. THIS SHALLOW LAYER WILL BE SCOURED OUT
WITH DAYTIME HEATING/MIXING AND ENSUING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW.
THERE MAY BE A FEW PATCHES OF AFTERNOON CLOUDS...BUT THERE
WILL NOT LIKELY BE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR ANY SHOWER OR T-STORM
ACTIVITY WEST OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
COULD PUSH FARTHER WEST THAN MODELS INDICATE IF THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY EAST OF THE GUALDELOUPE MOUNTAINS BECOMES STRONGER
AND MORE WIDESPREAD THAN IT HAS BEEN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.
TEMPERATURES RISING THROUGH THE WEEK AND RUNNING ABOUT 8-10
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL BY FRIDAY.
