.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...Persistent eastern Pacific ridge hangs around this
weekend, this will keep temperatures right around seasonal
averages. A bit breezy as winds do a shift out of the N-NW this
afternoon. Winds calm down a bit on Sunday and do a shift to a
more W-SW direction.

On Monday the ridge retrogrades west a bit as a trough and dry
cold front ride down the eastern face. Looks like temperatures
have trended colder again with highs Monday dropping about 10
degrees from Sunday`s highs to end up on the below average side of
things. This cooldown lasts only a couple of days as the ridge
flexes back eastward and warms things back up to normal as it
does by Wednesday. Things continue to be dry through the end of
the week with temperatures hovering around late January averages.
