ZIP ON RADAR THERE SO FAR WITH ONLY SMALL CU EVIDENT MOSTLY OVER HIGHER TERRAIN. MODELS EXPAND ON THAT THE NEXT 2 TO 3 DAYS BEFORE BEATING IT BACK SOMEWHAT WITH LOW LEVEL MOIST SURGE FROM THE E DURING LATE TUE THROUGH THU PERIOD FOLLOWED BY A DISTURBANCE ACROSS AZ THAT EVENTUALLY LIFTS OUT ACROSS N NM OR S CO. SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN TREND TODAY AND THE FACT THAT SO FAR THERE IS NO MONSOONAL FEED ON BACK SIDE OF UPPER HIGH DUE TO ITS STRONG WESTWARD RIDGING/EXTENSION OUT INTO THE PACIFIC...NOTHING TO CIRCULATE BACK AROUND ON THE N AND E SIDE OF HIGH.
