148 AM MST Wed Oct 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Dry conditions will prevail this week with below normal
temperatures. Expect a warming trend this weekend to near normal
temperatures into early next week.
. Below normal temperatures are expected through the work week, with
a warming trend arriving this weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Clear skies across southeast Arizona this morning as
the area is under southwesterly flow aloft as a strong trough/upper
low shifts east near the CA/NV border. As this system moves east,
dry conditions will continue across our forecast area, though deeper
moisture still resides nearby to our east in New Mexico. Below
normal heights and thicknesses will result in a continued cooling
trend, with temperatures on Thursday being the coolest of the
forecast period (about 6 to 12 degrees below normal). Ensembles show
ridging building back in this weekend as a cut-off upper low takes
shape over the eastern Pacific. We start to see some differences
around Monday and Tuesday in terms of how fast this system will
eject east and additionally on whether any notable increase in
moisture gets pulled northward. For now, will take a middle of the
road approach keeping things dry with some slight cooling early next
week.

.AVIATION...Valid through 16/12Z. Generally SKC-SCT clouds 4-7k ft
