OUR TRANSITION FROM A TROUGH TO A RIDGE PATTERN CONTINUES WITH A FEW HIGH CLOUDS OVERHEAD AND EVER REDUCING WINDS. AS THAT RIDGE STRENGTHENS ON THURSDAY, WE WILL HAVE WARMING TEMPERATURES, FAIR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS INTO SATURDAY. A CUT OFF LOW WILL MOVE THROUGH ON SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY, BUT ITS ENERGY WILL STAY MOSTLY TO OUR NORTH. HOWEVER THAT DOESN'T RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW SHOWERS HERE AND THERE IN THE VALLEYS AND HIGH COUNTRY DURING THAT TIME FRAME. WE WILL KEEP OUR EYE ON THIS SYSTEM, SO CHECK IN FOR FUTURE UPDATES.
