.DISCUSSION...through early next week.

A small shortwave embedded within a broader ridge across the
Western US has resulted in a few weak showers and thunderstorms this
afternoon across far northern Lincoln County and southwestern
Utah. Otherwise, dry conditions persist along with well above
normal temperatures. As the small wave shifts eastward tomorrow,
heights will rebound slightly with temperatures climbing a few
degrees Wednesday and Thursday before a slight cooling arrives by
Friday as heights begin to decline. Major to extreme heat risk
will persist in Death Valley as daytime high temperatures climb
into the 100s each day, and may approach 110 degrees during peak
heating.

A pattern change continues to be favored as we approach the
weekend and early next week. This will be due to a deep upper
level trough that digs southward out of the Pacific Northwest, and
interacts with a weak low off the SoCal coast and absorbs remnant
moisture from Hurricane Rachel. A forecast with this many moving
parts will of course be subject to change, but forecast guidance
continues to trend deeper and wetter with this incoming trough,
lending credence to a potentially significant pattern change by
the weekend. Some of the higher percentile outcomes suggest
significant rainfall being possible across some of our eastern
zones depending on how this incoming trough interacts with the
remnant tropical moisture. Outside of the precipitation chances,
temperatures trending below normal along with gusty conditions can
also be expected.
