.SYNOPSIS...Gradually warmer and dry conditions are expected 
through at least the middle of this week. Cooler, more unsettled
weather looks to return by the weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Today through Thursday...Drier air sets in today 
across northern Arizona behind the departing low. Zonal flow sets 
in across much of Arizona through at least the middle of this 
week, keeping dry conditions and gradually warming temperatures in
store for the region. Winds look to mainly be light and variable 
to start, gradually tending south/southwestward through the week.

Friday onward...A deepening trough over the northwest, and a strong 
sub-tropical jet over the Pacific will help increase moisture 
advection into Arizona by the end of the week. Precipitation looks 
to being late Friday and then continue into Sunday. As the trough 
begins to dig and the jet becomes further enhanced, deeper moisture 
looks to move into the region on Sunday. 

Uncertainty remains in the exact setup going into the end of the 
week, thus confidence in any specific details remains low. As of now 
the latest operational ECMWF seems to favor a wetter solution with a 
stronger sub-tropical jet, while the GFS favors a weaker and faster 
jet and therefore lighter QPF amounts. Looking at the ensemble 
guidance, most of the EPS and CMCE members favor the wetter ECMWF 
solution while the GEFS members mostly lean towards the drier GFS 
solution. This leans towards the wetter solution being more likely, 
however with some model disagreement confidence will remain low. 
Nevertheless, a return of cooler and more unsettled conditions look 
to set in by the end of the week.

.AVIATION...Monday 26/12Z through Tuesday 27/12Z...VFR conditions 
with VRB winds 5-10 kts.

OUTLOOK...Tuesday 27/12Z through Thursday 29/12Z...VFR conditions.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Today and Tuesday...Dry conditions and gradual 
warming. Light and variable winds today, becoming south/southwest 5-
15 mph on Tuesday.

Wednesday through Friday...Continued warming temperatures and dry 
conditions, before chances for showers and thunderstorms return late 
Thursday and Friday. South/southwest winds 5-15 mph on Wednesday, 
increasing to 10-20 mph on Thursday and Friday.

&&

.FGZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...None.
