.SYNOPSIS...Near-normal daytime temperatures continue through the
weekend, with breezy northwest winds on Saturday, especially near
the New Mexico border. A dry cold front arrives Monday and brings
gusty northerly winds and colder temperatures. Winds then drop off
a bit, with some warming for the rest of the week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Our relentless pattern, characterized by high
amplitude ridging in the eastern Pacific and a deep, broad trough
over the eastern third of the United States, rolls on. Periodic
s/wvs moving around the ridge will bring us more very dry air and
bursts of windier conditions, along with average to below average
temperatures. One such wave brings gusty NW winds to the eastern
zones on Saturday, with another wave bringing colder air and gusty
north winds to most areas for Monday/Tuesday.

Tonight features clearing skies and cold temperatures, although some
persistent southwesterly flow may keep places from fully radiating.
Our current overnight lows are riding a bit above MOS guidance and
with those winds, this looks good, Really nothing else to talk
about, no updates this evening.
