.KEY MESSAGES...



* Breezy to gusty conditions continue throughout the upcoming week

  as temperatures slowly return to seasonable values.

.DISCUSSION...through the 4th of July.



The next few days are shaping up to be quite pleasant for late June 

standards. Highs are forecast to be 8-12 degrees below normal, with 

values mostly in the 90s across the Mojave Desert and 80s in the 

southern Great Basin. Morning lows of 60-75 degrees across the 

Mojave Desert will be refreshing. As we get into the 2nd half of the 

week, we'll see temperatures gradually warm, returning to seasonable 

values by the weekend. Thanks to the lingering trough over the 

Western US, elevated breezes persist throughout the upcoming week. 

Strongest winds expected today, mainly along the I-40 corridor where 

gusts of 30-45 mph are forecast. For the rest of the week, gusts 

should generally be in the 15-35 mph range, strongest on Wednesday 

and Thursday. In terms of precipitation, our area largely remains 

dry through the holiday weekend. There are some low chances (10-30%) 

of light showers across the southern Great Basin and central Sierra 

today and Monday, but otherwise precipitation chances stay below

10%.

days. Today will feature largely NW winds north of the I-15 corridor 

and WSW winds along and south of it. Strongest gusts in NW Arizona 

and along the I-40 corridor with 30-45 mph forecast. A Red Flag

evening. For the rest of the week, winds should predominately be 

from the SW across the area with sustained speeds 10-20 mph and 

gusts in the 15-35 mph range, strongest on Wednesday and Thursday. 

Combined with afternoon RH values of 5-15% and poor overnight
