.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1)

A blocky pattern characterized by a mid level ridge extending from
the western Gulf to the western Great Lakes will shift slightly east
into the early part of the week. Surface high situated east of the
area will remain through the weekend. This will offer mainly clear
skies and light winds which will lead to river valley fog overnight.

A weak surface front will sag south across the area Monday evening into
the overnight hours. With a dry airmass - only expect some increase
in clouds. The front will wash out as another surface high moves
from Ontario to the northeast Atlantic coast.

The mid level ridge gets slowly suppressed south, breaking down by
mid week as a short wave lifts out of the southern Plains and up the
Ohio Valley into the Great Lakes.

This pattern will offer an extended period of dry conditions which will
persist well into next week. Temperatures look to be above normal.
