.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE THROUGH MOST OF THE COMING WEEK. THE CLOCKWISE FLOW OF AIR
AROUND THAT HIGH WILL BRING MOIST AIR IN FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO
FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE MOIST AIR AND DAYTIME
HEATING WILL ALLOW ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING THROUGH THE
WEEK AHEAD. STORMS WILL DEVELOP FIRST AROUND THE MOGOLLON RIM
DURING EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON...THEN MOVE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST
ACROSS THE AREA EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THESE STORMS WILL
LIKELY CAUSE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WITH WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR TO A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL THE NEXT FEW
DAYS WITH MINIMUM HUMIDITY RANGING FROM THE LOWER 20S TO THE
LOWER 30S. HUMIDITY RECOVERY WILL BE MODERATE TO GOOD AT NIGHT.
