Well below normal temperatures will prevail through the end of the work week. A mostly dry weather system will dive south into the Desert Southwest today and linger through Thursday. This system will bring breezy to locally windy conditions across the western districts for much of today, with wind gusts along the Lower Colorado River Valley and portions of Southeast California to between 35-45 mph. Light shower activity will be possible across the eastern Arizona higher terrain through Thursday afternoon, but CWR for the high terrain of the eastern districts is 5% or less. MinRHs today will fall in the upper single digits up to around 15% and will mainly fall into the teens on Thursday across the lower deserts, with readings closer to 20-30% over higher terrain areas each day.
