.SYNOPSIS...Expect well above normal temperatures for this week, 

likely peaking in record territory by Thursday and Friday. Skies

.PREV DISCUSSION /416 AM MST/...High pressure dominates the southwestern United States 

for this forecast period, peaking in the Thursday/Friday time frame. 

This ridge will bring well above normal temperatures and generally 

clear skies. Daytime temperatures may push 20 degrees above average 

by later this week, which will be in record territory for some 

locations. Winds will generally be light and terrain driven, less 

than 10-15 mph for the most part.



There is some indication that this pattern breaks down late in the 

period, but even so, it looks dry with temperatures simply falling 

back to around normal.
