.DISCUSSION....Modest mixing will diminish by sundown. Upper-
level ridging will build into the region through Friday but will
be short-lived as an approaching trough will cause the ridge to
break down leading to southwesterly flow and warmer temperatures.
Highs will climb into the low to upper 70s but the source region
for moisture is overland leading to continued dry air and lowered
afternoon minimum RHs which will be in the upper 20 to mid 30
percent range. Some short term models such as the HRRR have hinted
there could be a line of showers that move through the area early
Saturday morning, however, a layer of dry air near the surface
will likely result in virga. The above mentioned trough will bring
a cold front through the area beginning Saturday afternoon and
provides a wetting rain through frontal passage on Sunday. Strong
winds will accompany the front Sunday afternoon. Surface high
pressure and dry weather return to the area for Monday.
