CONDITIONS ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY. A SHORT WAVE
IMPULSE WILL MOVE INTO THE TROUGH LATE MONDAY...BEFORE DROPPING
SOUTHEAST INTO NEVADA EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...THEN SHIFTING EAST

OVER MAINLY THE SOUTHERN SIERRA/SOUTH CENTRAL NEVADA MOUNTAINS
MONDAY NIGHT AND THEN MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF THE SOUTHERN
GREAT BASIN/NORTHWEST ARIZONA ON TUESDAY...BEFORE DRYING IS SEEN
FROM THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT. MOISTURE IS LIMITED WITH THIS
SYSTEM SO OVERALL ONLY LIGHT PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED.

HOWEVER WINDS WILL BE A CONCERN. THE DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS TO THE
REGION...ESPECIALLY THE WESTERN DESERTS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY AND
MOHAVE COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND ONCE AGAIN MONDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. AS THE IMPULSE MENTIONED ABOVE MOVES THROUGH
TUESDAY...BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ARE ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED ACROSS
MUCH OF THE AREA WITH THE SAN BERNARDINO DESERT LIKELY SEEING THE
STRONGEST WINDS...WHICH MAY APPROACH ADVISORY LEVELS.

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THIS
AFTERNOON AND ON MONDAY...BUT THEN DROP 5 TO 10 DEGREES ON TUESDAY
RESULTING IN WELL BELOW NORMAL READINGS.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...SYSTEM EXITS TO
THE EAST WEDNESDAY WITH ONLY A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ALONG THE
EASTERN REGIONS OF THE CWA. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES NORTH OF THE
AREA WEDNESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH LITTLE IMPACT TO THE
REGION. A BROAD TROUGH IS FORECAST OVER THE NORTHWESTERN CONUS
THURSDAY EXPANDING INTO THE NORTHCENTRAL STATES FRIDAY. ENSEMBLE
SPREAD INCREASES DURING THIS TIME FRAME HOWEVER AND OVERALL
CONFIDENCE IS LOWER. THE EXTENDED FORECAST TREND GENERALLY FOLLOWS
THE ECMWF WHICH RESULTS IN LIGHTER WINDS BY THURSDAY ALONG WITH A
WARMING TREND HEADING INTO NEXT WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST
TO PUSH CLOSER TO NORMAL FRIDAY THEN ABOVE NORMAL SATURDAY.

WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY...WHILE BREEZY TO LOCALLY WINDY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOONS/EARLY EVENINGS.
SIMILAR TO SATURDAY LOCALIZED RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL BE SEEN
ESPECIALLY THE WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO DESERT AND MOHAVE COUNTY...BUT
WIDESPREAD CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO FORM. A PACIFIC STORM WILL
BE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY WHICH WILL BRING WINDY
CONDITIONS TO MUCH OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...COOLER TEMPERATURES AND
HIGHER MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES TUESDAY AFTERNOON SHOULD
LIMIT ANY RED FLAG CONDITIONS. THE WESTERN SAN BERNARDINO DESERT
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS CONTINUING INTO
THURSDAY WHILE WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE MOST AREAS BY
WEDNESDAY.
