WEATHER UPDATE 
--------------------------------
--Sunny, hot & dry conditions will prevail through late in the week. Expect temp-
eratures to average 3-5 degrees above normal. Longer term forecasts indicate some
moisture will enter the region by the weekend. This is not expected to be a major
humidity event & should impact only central & eastern production areas. Any pre-
cipitation is expected to be light and mostly associated with higher elevation 
areas. The long range forecast for the monsoon season (July-September) indicates
a moderate bias for above normal temperatures & no bias relative to precipitation.
