DRY AIR...IN COMBINATION WITH A LESSENING IN PRESSURE GRADIENTS...WILL LEAD TO SOME VERY COOL OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES FOR THE NORTHLAND. SOME LOCATIONS ABOVE 7000 FEET COULD VERY WELL SEE THE MERCURY DROP DOWN INTO THE UPPER 20S BY TOMORROW MORNING. A WEAK RIDGE WILL BUILD FOR THURSDAY AND WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER NICE FALL-LIKE DAY. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS FORECAST TO COME ASHORE ON FRIDAY...WHICH WILL ONCE AGAIN TIGHTEN PRESSURE GRADIENTS AND BRING BREEZY CONDITIONS TO NORTHERN ARIZONA. FORECAST PACKAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN UPDATED AND NO OTHER UPDATES ARE PLANNED AT THIS TIME. CK
