.KEY MESSAGES...

* Seasonable temperatures and mostly dry conditions continue for
  the next week with periods of gusty north winds.

.DISCUSSION...through Saturday.

The arrival of our next system is evident by the abundant high
clouds out there currently. While there are some breezy
southerly/westerly winds across the southern Mojave Desert today,
the bulk of the winds arrive after the frontal passage. Breezy north
winds of 15-25 mph can be expected in most locations, but gusts of
30-40 mph are likely (70%) in the lower Colorado River Valley on
Monday. Anyone out on the local lakes tomorrow should be prepared
for increased wave activity. As winds begin to calm down Monday
night and skies clear, radiational cooling will bring temperatures
down to/near in a few locations for the first time this season. The
most notable are the Tecopa/Shoshone and Kingman/Hualapai Valley
areas, where chances for freezing temperatures are greater than 70%.
As such, Freeze Watches have been issued for these areas for Tuesday
morning. Another trough moves in midweek, and the trend in this
system`s track continues to be towards an "inside slider".
Basically, precipitation chances have gone down (now less than 10%
everywhere except northern Lincoln and Mohave counties on Wednesday)
and the likelihood of gusty north winds has increased. At this time,
wind magnitude with this system looks fairly similar to Monday`s
forecast, with gusts of 30-40 mph in the lower Colorado River Valley
and 15-30 mph elsewhere.
