KEY MESSAGES: - Warming trend begins today, leading to above normal temperatures this week. No precipitation expected. - Trough moving in Friday brings a cooldown and a slight chance of rain. WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Warming trend begins today as the stubborn Southwestern ridge that refuses to leave the Four Corners region begins to flex its muscles north. Expect dry weather and temperatures well above early October averages through all of this week. By the weekend there is a possibility the next West Coast trough may break down the ridge and cause a brief pattern change but models continue to diverge widely on how far north or south the trough goes so confidence is low and will have to be monitored as the week progresses. FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS: No real deviations, went straight NBM on winds and temperatures as temperature ranges weren`t large. Confidence remains high for this weeks dry spell and above average temperatures. Confidence is low on possible pattern change starting Friday. -Bernhart && .AVIATION...
