.SYNOPSIS...LINGERING MOISTURE AND WEAK INSTABILITY WILL KEEP A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER MAINLY THE HIGHER
TERRAIN THROUGH SATURDAY. A DRY...WESTERLY FLOW FROM SUNDAY ONWARD
WILL BRING HOT AND DRY JUNE WEATHER CONDITIONS TO THE AREA INTO NEXT
WEEK WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
&&

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

LINGERING MOISTURE AND DAYTIME HEATING HAS LEAD TO ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. MOST OF THE
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF
HEATING...BUT MAY LINGER OVERNIGHT ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN CLARK
AND MOHAVE COUNTIES AS A WEAK DISTURBANCE SAGS SOUTH ACROSS WESTERN
ARIZONA. HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS FROM
ANY STORMS THIS EVENING. LINGERING MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
AREA THROUGH SATURDAY BRINGING ANOTHER DAY OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
OT MAINLY THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF SAN BERNARDINO...CLARK...AND MOHAVE
COUNTIES. THERE COULD BE A FEW STORMS OVER LINCOLN...NYE...AND INYO
COUNTIES...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION WILL REMAIN
OVER THE SOUTHERN ZONES. MOST OF THE MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO BE
SCOURED OUT OF THE AREA SUNDAY AS A DRY WESTERLY FLOW MOVES INTO THE
REGION. THERE COULD STILL BE A FEW STORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON...BUT
SHOULD MAINLY BE CONFINED TO THE FAR EASTERN AREAS OF LINCOLN AND
MOHAVE COUNTIES. TEMPERATURES WILL START THE CLIMB UPWARD SATURDAY
AFTERNOON WITH TRIPLE DIGITS EXPECTED IN LAS VEGAS ALONG WITH MOST
OF THE LOWER DESERTS. WARMER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED SUNDAY WITH THE

OF THE COAST OF BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GREAT BASIN THIS WEEK...YIELDING BREEZY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN GREAT BASIN AND DESERT LOCALS AT TIMES. THIS WILL
PROMOTE GOOD MIXING...ESPECIALLY ON MONDAY AND POSSIBLY AGAIN ON
WEDNESDAY...BUMPING UP AFTERNOON HIGHS SEVERAL DEGREES.
OTHERWISE...HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE SLATED TO GENERALLY RUN 6-9
DEGREES ABOVE THE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMAL FOR MID-JUNE THIS WEEK. AT
THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL REMAIN JUST BELOW HEAT WARNING
