SYNOPSIS
High pressure will bring dry conditions and a strong warming trend into next week. A weak passing weather system will bring breezy conditions on Friday.

DISCUSSION
A broad zonal flow across the state today with heights and thicknesses supporting temperatures around 7-10 degrees above average the next couple of days. Some breeziness Friday afternoon with a passing weak weather system, but remaining dry across SE AZ.

Weak troughiness over the weekend will stall the warming trend, with a broad low amplitude ridge pushing temps up a few more degrees early next week.
