.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 224 PM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

High pressure remains in control and will stay in control of our
weather pattern for at least the next week. This means warming
temperatures and dry conditions. As the surface high pressure
settles off to our east, it will lead to light easterly or
southeasterly winds across the peninsula. This easterly flow will
minimize the sea breeze influence and advect the warmest
temperatures across our area, keeping temperatures across the CWA
in the upper 80s and lower 90s. The drier airmass across the
region will not only restrict rainfall chances but also lead to
lower humidity. So while temperatures will be above normal for
this time of year, at least it will be a dry heat.

.FIRE WEATHER...
