Weather discussion:
Another dry week is expected, with a series of troughs moving through the Great Basin. Precipitation is unlikely with these troughs, except perhaps a slight chance of light rain showers Thursday afternoon. Continued breezy weather this week, with windy and cooler conditions Wednesday to Thursday. The strongest winds will be Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, gusting to 35 mph. The wind, combined with dry conditions, will lead to high or extreme wildfire danger, especially north and east of the Mogollon Rim.
