Discussion:

High pressure will give way to a cool upper-level trough and associated cold front that will dive into Arizona from the northeast on Wednesday night – Thursday. Expect some cooling and high clouds and breezes in association with this trough. A complex weather pattern with troughing off the CA coast through the weekend will lead to the possibility of periods of high clouds through the weekend. However, no precipitation is expected this week.
