MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES

QUITE WELL WITH THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE THE PAST FEW DAYS...AND THEY
SUGGEST MORE COVERAGE FOR TOMORROW. LOTS OF MOISTURE IN PLACE SO THE

RIDGE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED IN PLACE OVER THE SW US FOR MOST OF THE

TO BE THE MOST ACTIVE DAY. POPS AND CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE SOMEWHAT LOWER THROUGH THE WEEK AS THE SOUTHERLY FLOW IS SOMEWHAT
WEAKER. AFTERNOON SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST LIKELY TO
OCCUR OVER MOHAVE COUNTY AND HIGHER TERRAIN IN CLARK AND EASTERN SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY.

AN AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL SINK SOUTH OVER THE PACIFIC
