Mild air with some breezy conditions

Описание: Milder-than-normal conditions are still in place this morning as a mountain wave of some gusty winds will continue to push up and over the Central Mountains into the East Plains with dry air still in place despite some upper-level clouds.

Air temperatures in the north are starting off mostly around the high single digits to the lower 30s, while above-freezing temperatures in the 30s to even the 50s in a few areas are mostly present in central to southern to eastern areas.

Thin clouds will continue to approach from the west but hardly if any precipitation will fall today. Afternoon temperatures will mostly be in the upper 30s to lower 70s from west to east from high to low elevation with a few areas in the East Plains reaching record to near-record warmth.

Warmer-than-normal conditions will continue ahead because of west-northwesterly winds to go up, over, and down the southeast-sloped mountain faces, sinking, compressing, drying, & spreading a warming process at the surface as a result, but at the cost to the highly elevated fire risk.

Not much moisture for now will be present as the pendulum swing pattern of somewhat-damp mornings for a few with breezy easterly winds shifting to southwesterly drier winds in the afternoons will still continue periodically ahead.

Some precipitation will return by the middle of the week with a somewhat-complex storm system eventually set to drop temperatures below normal by the end of the week.
