KEY MESSAGE 1) Dry conditions are expected through Friday.

By Sunday evening, what is expected to be a thin and quite elongated trough will see its axis cross the CWA, bringing an end to a sometimes rainy weekend. KEY MESSAGE 2) Near normal temperatures are expected for daytime highs with warmer than normal overnight lows. CAA will still be found today, resulting in some afternoon cloudiness with fair wx cu. Temperatures will drop into the 70s Saturday, near 80 on Sunday with cloud cover and rain. Readings will return to near normal for highs and above normal on lows for next week. && .AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
