Shortwave ridging over the area will give way to to a low pressure system moving through the Great Basin tomorrow, which will result in southerly breezes across the southern Great Basin on Wednesday. Dry conditions will persist, with precipitation chances remaining north of our forecast area. Another system will drop into the region late Thursday into Friday, resulting in an uptick in north winds across the region and gusty north winds down the Colorado River Valley. A closed low will develop south of our forecast area on Saturday, with high pressure building over Great Basin. This will allow for north winds to linger down the Colorado River Valley on Saturday due to the enhanced north-south pressure gradient. These winds will result in choppy, 1 to 3 foot waves on Lake Mohave and Lake Havasu Friday and Saturday. Temperatures across the region will remain normal-to-slightly cooler than normal through the work week, with normal temperatures returning over the weekend into early next week. && .AVIATION...For Harry Reid...For the 06Z Forecast Package...Clear skies and light winds continue through the TAF period.
