.DISCUSSION...

HOPEFULLY YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER TODAY...BUT
IF YOU DIDN`T...MORE IS ON THE WAY FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. FAIRLY
STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING IN OVER THE REGION BEHIND A
DEPARTING UPPER TROUGH WILL ALLOW FOR A RATHER COOL NIGHT TONIGHT
WITH MAINLY IN THE 40 TO 45 DEGREE RANGE. HIGHS ON MONDAY SHOULD
REACH INTO THE 70S UNDER SUNNY SKIES. A WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED
FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS MID-LEVEL HEIGHTS BEGIN TO RISE IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A RIDGE MOVING INTO THE REGION. DRY CONDITIONS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY AS DRY AIR ALOFT PERSISTS
NEAR THE RIDGE AXIS. A WEAK UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE OUR WAY BY
THURSDAY WITH ONLY MODEST DEEP MOISTURE ADVECTION LEADING TO AT
LEAST A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY AND POSSIBLY LINGERING INTO SATURDAY.
