.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 235 AM CDT FRI MAY 24 2013/

DISCUSSION...
OMEGA BLOCK ACROSS THE US WILL KEEP MID STATE BASICALLY DRY FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS UPPER RIDGE GRADUALLY SHIFTS EASTWARD WITH
WARMING TEMPS AS WE GO THROUGH THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AND INTO
NEXT WEEK. ABOUT THE ONLY CHANCE FOR RAIN IN THE MID STATE THAT I
CAN FIND IS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AND IT IS A LOW POP. BY
MID WEEK STRONG BERMUDA RIDGE WILL EXTEND ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
US WITH UPPER RIDGE ALOFT OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE US AS UPPER
TROUGH DIGS OUT WEST. MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE A
SUMMERY PATTERN WITH 1025 MBAR RIDGE OVER SOUTHEASTERN US AND
STRONG UPPER HIGH (590 DECAMETERS) OVER SOUTHEASTERN US.
