.DISCUSSION...The story over the next week will be a series of
weak, mainly dry cold fronts that temporarily decrease
temperatures and increase minimum humidities. Expect cooler
temperatures and higher minimum humidity today in the wake of
Wednesday`s weak cold front. Isolated high-based convection is
possible Friday afternoon and evening and again Saturday afternoon
and evening. Any showers and thunderstorms will be capable of
gusty and erratic microburst winds. Temperatures will warm Friday,
with a slight decrease in minimum humidities. The drying and
warming trend will continue through Saturday. A weak, mainly dry
cold front will cross the area Sunday though temperatures will
only fall a few degrees with the front. Any improvement in minimum
humidities Sunday will be lost on Monday as a drying trend begins
once more. Another weak and mainly dry cold front Tuesday may
bring another round of higher minimum humidities with a slight
decrease in temperatures. Wednesday and Thursday...expect another
warming/drying trend.
