A strong high pressure ridge will presist over
the Eastern Great Basin. Light local slope/valley winds will occur
across most of the area. The warming trend will result in high temperatures
near record levels this weekend. Aternoon humidities in the single digits
with poor moisture recoveries developing at night. Monsoonal moisture is
expected to return early next week to at least the southern half of the Great
Basin.

One new large fires was
reported in New Mexico and two fires were contained, one in Montana and one
in Idaho. Very high to extreme fire indices were reported in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.
A high pressure system
over the desert Southwest will move a little further west which will reduce
the amount of moisture moving into Arizona, New Mexico and all but northwest
Utah. This will create partly cloudy skies, with lingering moisture bringing
scattered showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures will be in the 80's
to 90's. Southern California, southern Nevada and northwest Utah will be
under a dry southwest flow bringing sunny skies. High temperatures will be
in the 80's and 90's in the valleys and 100 to 105 in the desert areas of
California and Nevada. A cool, moist Pacific trough will continue over northern
California, northwest Nevada and southern Idaho bringing partly to mostly
cloudy skies with scattered showers and thunderstorms decreasing by late
afternoon. High temperatures will be in the 70's to lower 80's.
