Well keep you posted on what happens. Dave Courvoisier toss to tony smith for weather Tony Smith Tony smith heres the quick and dirty forecast dry and warm conditions are expected this weekend and through much of next conditions are expected this weekend and through much of next week as High Pressure develops over the region. Temperatures will be ten or so degrees above normal next week with locally breezy north winds at times. In the short term. Through monday night a ridge of High Pressure is expected to develop over the area during the next 48 hours keeping well above normal temperatures along with light winds over most areas. Winds down the Colorado River will generally be in the 1015 mph range saturday with an increase into the 1525 mph the models indicate the ridge strengthening monday off the west coast with a piece of Energy Diving southeast along the front side of the ridge. This energy is expected to remain far enough north and east of the cwa as is pushes through monday. But we could see a few lower clouds across lincoln county. But most areas will continue to see periods of high clouds. The main concern with this feature will be an increase in north to northeast winds monday afternoon across the eastern half of the area and especially the Colorado River. Winds should generally remain in the 1020 mph range with gusts possibly up to 3035 mph down the river. The long term will start with a shortwave trough diving through utah and colorado tuesday morning. Will keep the forecast aligned with the majority of the deterministic models and the shortrange ensembles with keeping the northeast forecast area dry. However, the trough passage will increase northerly winds, particularly along the Colorado River valley. Couple degrees tuesday and maybe wednesday, yet remain above normal for this time of year. Otherwise, the trough pushes east and allows ridging to build across the western conus and hold strong through friday, with light winds and temperatures warming back to 10 or so degrees above normal. By next weekend, a shortwave trough will start to edge onshore along the california coast. At this time it appears rather weak with little in the way of precipitation potential, except for maybe the sierra nevada. West to southwest winds could pick up a bit, but right now the main feature seems to be an increase in cloud cover for saturday. Res your weather now your st accute forecast por 8 news now.
