.DISCUSSION...
Fall weather has returned and should continue for at least the
next couple of days with highs only climbing into the 70s today and
Friday. The temperatures along with fairly light winds and mostly
sunny skies should lead to a couple of pleasant days across the
area. Temperatures will begin to warm a bit over the weekend into
early next week with highs reaching the 80s most of that time.

An upper ridge will continue over parts of the region for the rest
of the work week with a closed low over the Ohio Valley and upper
trough along the West Coast. This will continue to leave the area
dry for at least a couple more days. There will be a low chance for
showers/storms Saturday night in NW parts of the fa. Otherwise, most
of the area will remain dry through the weekend.

Models have come into better agreement on tonight`s 0Z model runs in
regards to the upper pattern for early next week compared to
yesterday`s 0Z runs. Models show the upper trough/low moving into
and across the western U.S. this weekend and early next week with
the upper low centered over Wyoming by 12Z Tuesday. The upper
low/trough will continue to move east or northeast Tuesday/Wednesday
with a dryline and cold front expected to affect the region. This
system will bring a chance for showers/storms to the fa starting
Monday night and continuing into Wednesday. Strong to severe storms
may be possible Tuesday but there are still some uncertainties,
especially on how much low-level moisture will be able to return to
the area.
