Forecast Discussion:
Relatively quiet weather for this weekend as weak high pressure gives way to a trough which will pass by well to our north early next week. A surface pressure gradient is projected to set up behind the departing trough and high pressure that's forecast to build into the area from the west for next Tuesday/Wednesday. Therefore breezy conditions are forecast and even a slight chance for some spotty blowing dust. However still have low dust risks forecast through next Wednesday mainly due to the amount of rain the area has received over the past several weeks.- S.DiBiase
