.DISCUSSION...
Dry and warm weather will dominate the weather for the remainder 
of the week as high pressure builds back in. Even so, a few 
showers are possible along the Wyoming and Colorado border but 
they will be few and far between. Winds are expected to be 
generally light though a few, stronger afternoon breezes are 
possible. Humidities will, once again, drop down and reach the 
teens and single digits. The next chance for any significant
precipitation looks to be on Sunday but models are not in good 
agreement with this solution.
