Example (Credit- Meteorologist Jeff Beamish; Oct. 22, 2013): "That's all thanks to a ridge of high pressure supplying us with sunshine and daytime highs in the mid to upper 80's, heading into the weekend. Now. As we are heading into next week, we are going to be tracking a cold front moving in from British Columbia, models hinting at any rain or snow staying east of us, but gusty winds a possibility as we head into Monday and especially Tuesday of next week. Maybe some cooler temperatures as well. Transition: a look at your TruVu 4 Extended forecast..."

Example (Credit Meteorologist Jeff Beamish: Nov. 7, 2013): This high moves off to the east as we are heading into the weekend we are entering what is known as a zonal flow. Winds in the upper levels of the atmosphere moving from west to east, separating this cool air to north, warm air to the south, not seeing any troughs or ridges developing, and this is going to be a pattern pretty much stuck as we are heading into early next week in southern Arizona. Lots of daytime highs in the 80's; lots of overnight lows in the 50's

Example (Credit Meteorologist Jeff Beamish: Nov. 12, 2013): All thanks to a cold front dropping down from the South, chilly air over most of the United States. We are getting the back end of this cold front. And this back door cold front will be cranking up those winds over the next 24 hours.

As we are heading into the weekend, watching another cold front, this one dropping in over Canada, I think colder air filtering in from the North, and a few models hinting at showers for Saturday and Sunday. And there are still some differences in this forecast as far as timing and whether we will see rain or not. So I think right now the best chance for isolated showers for the weekend will be in the mountain tops.

Credit Meteorologist John Patrick: Swing you through the next couple of days with our Future Pattern. Cool morning starts tomorrow in the 40s for most of us. But another nice afternoon to round out your weekend. It looks like plenty of sunshine those winds will be down for your Sunday. And after that we are going to see little changes as a zonal flow sets up over the region. That means there is really nothing heading our way to really cool us down or warm us up at least through the first part of the upcoming work week.
